Answer:

6.24 feet (to nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagoras Theorem:-

20^2 = x^2 + 19^2 where x = height of the loading dock.

x^2 = 20^2 - 19^2 = 39

x = √39

= 6.2449 feet

Suppose θ is an angle in the standard position whose terminal side is in Quadrant III and sec θ=61/60. Find the exact values of

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Part 1) $cos(\theta)=-\frac{60}{61}$

Part 2) $tan(\theta)=\frac{11}{60}$

Part 3) $cot(\theta)=\frac{60}{11}$

Part 4) $csc(\theta)=-\frac{61}{11}$

Part 5) $sin(\theta)=-\frac{11}{61}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If angle theta lie on Quadrant III

then

The function sine is negative

The function cosine is negative

The function tangent is positive

The function cotangent is positive

The function cosecant is negative

The function secant is negative

step 1

Find $cos(\theta)$

we know that

$cos(\theta)=\frac{1}{sec(\theta)}$

we have

$sec(\theta)=-\frac{61}{60}$ ----> the value must be negative

therefore

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{60}{61}$

step 2

Find $tan(\theta)$

we know that

$tan^{2} (\theta)+1=sec^{2} (\theta)$

we have

$sec(\theta)=-\frac{61}{60}$

substitute

$tan^{2} (\theta)+1=(-\frac{61}{60})^{2}$

$tan^{2} (\theta)+1=\frac{3,721}{3,600}$

$tan^{2} (\theta)=\frac{3,721}{3,600}-1$

$tan^{2} (\theta)=\frac{121}{3,600}$

$tan(\theta)=\frac{11}{60}$

step 3

Find $cot(\theta)$

we know that

$cot(\theta)=\frac{1}{tan(\theta)}$

we have

$tan(\theta)=\frac{11}{60}$

therefore

$cot(\theta)=\frac{60}{11}$

step 4

Find $csc(\theta)$

we know that

$cot^{2} (\theta)+1=csc^{2} (\theta)$

we have

$cot(\theta)=\frac{60}{11}$

substitute

$(\frac{60}{11})^{2}+1=csc^{2} (\theta)$

$\frac{3,600}{121}+1=csc^{2} (\theta)$

$\frac{3,721}{121}=csc^{2} (\theta)$

square root both sides

$csc(\theta)=-\frac{61}{11}$

step 5

Find $sin(\theta)$

we know that

$sin(\theta)=\frac{1}{csc(\theta)}$

we have

$csc(\theta)=-\frac{61}{11}$

therefore

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{11}{61}$

The triangles are similar. What is the value of x?

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The value of x is $16\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and is called the scale factor

so

$\frac{12}{3} =\frac{x}{4}\\ \\x=12*4/3\\ \\x=16\ units$
