Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 22² = 24²

Subtract 22² from both sides

a² = 24² - 22²

a² = 576 - 484

a² = 92

Take the square root of both sides

a = 9.591663046625438

Rounded

a = 9.6 ft

How do you solve this?

natali 33 [55]

Not sure if you wanted answers or explanation on what to do. Ill just do the explanation and if you want the answers just lmk C:

R=1/2 d, and C=pi*2r. So you basically take the given number and plug it into these formulas.

2 tan 30°<br>II<br>1 + tan- 300

Question:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$

Answer:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= sin(60^{\circ})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$

Required

Simplify

In trigonometry:

$tan(30^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

So, the expression becomes:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{2 * \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + (\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})^2}$

Simplify the denominator

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{2 * \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + \frac{1}{3}}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + \frac{1}{3}}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{ \frac{3+1}{3}}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{ \frac{4}{3}}$

Express the fraction as:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{2}{\sqrt 3} / \frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{2}{\sqrt 3} * \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{1}{\sqrt 3} * \frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{3}{2\sqrt 3}$

Rationalize

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{3}{2\sqrt 3} * \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2* 3}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

In trigonometry:

$sin(60^{\circ}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Hence:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= sin(60^{\circ})$
