-- If FE is the longest side in the right triangle, then
the length of the missing side is 22.956... (rounded).
-- If FE is not the longest side in the right triangle,
then the length of the missing side is 25 (exactly).
We will start off working on the right hand side.
<span>cot x - tan x </span>
<span>= [cos x / sin x] - [sin x / cos x] </span>
<span>= [(cos x)^ 2 - (sin x)^2] / [sin x cos x] </span>
<span>This is where it gets a bit tougher if you do not have your formula list with you. </span>
<span>(cos x)^ 2 - (sin x)^2 = cos(2x) </span>
<span>sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x </span>
<span>Note that by arranging the second formula, we will have sin x cos x = (1/2) sin 2x </span>
<span>Hence, we will get: </span>
<span>[(cos x)^ 2 - (sin x)^2] / [sin x cos x] </span>
<span>= [cos 2x] / (1/2)[sin 2x] </span>
<span>= 2[cos 2x] / [sin 2x] </span>
<span>= 2cot 2x </span>
Answer:
should be -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4.9×5=24.5
17-24.5=-7.5
Answer:
15.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
Comparing the shortest sides, that is
10 : 6 = 5 : 3
let the longest side be x, then using proportion
= 
( cross- multiply )
5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 15.6
The longest side is 15.6 ft
Big ifs, question writers. These are of course approximations.
The "co" in cosine comes from complementary angles. It means since
Answer: cos 48° = 2/3
Similarly,
Answer: tan 69.5° = 8/3
