Answers:

  • tan(G) = 2
  • tan(H) = 1/2

=======================================

Explanation:

Recall that tangent is the ratio of opposite over adjacent

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

So for reference angle G, we say,

tan(G) = JH/GJ = 2/1 = 2

We'll treat tan(H) in a similar fashion, but the opposite and adjacent sides swap roles. That means we'll apply the reciprocal to the result above to get 1/2 for tan(H)

-----------

So we have this interesting property where

tan(G)*tan(H) = 2*(1/2) = 1

In general,

tan(A)*tan(B) = 1 if and only if A+B = 90 degrees

-----------

Side note: The side sqrt(5) isn't used at all.

Which equation has x = –6 as the solution?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The equation 'log Subscript 3 Baseline (negative 2 x minus 3) = 2' i.e. \log _3\left(-2x-3\right)=2  has x = –6 as the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Checking the equation</u>

log Subscript 3 Baseline (negative 2 x minus 3) = 2

Writing in algebraic expression

\log _3\left(-2x-3\right)=2

Use the logarithmic definition

\mathrm{If}\:\log _a\left(b\right)=c\:\mathrm{then}\:b=a^c

\log _3\left(-2x-3\right)=2\quad \Rightarrow \quad \:-2x-3=3^2

-2x-3=3^2

-2x-3=9

-2x=12

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2

\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{12}{-2}

x=-6

Therefore, the equation 'log Subscript 3 Baseline (negative 2 x minus 3) = 2' i.e. \log _3\left(-2x-3\right)=2  has x = –6 as the solution.

d1i1m1o1n [39]
Volume = length x width x height.
if the width has to be a whole number no more than 5 then the only options for the width is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
V=5x1x2
V=10
V=5x2x2
V=20
V=5x3x2
V=30
V=5x4x2
V=40
V=5x5x2
V=50
the possible volumes are as follows: 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.
make sure in your answer that you label your volumes so you write ft^3 after every volume answer.
