Answer:

1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the triangle, the first thing we can notice is that it is a right triangle, so we can use trigonometric ratios to solve for missing sides.

The side the problem is asking us to find is leg HI, which happens to be the hypotenuse of triangle HIJ.

We also know one side length: HJ= 1.2 ft, and one angle measure: ∠I=72°.

In these types of problems, there are two trigonometric ratios we can look to:

Sine or sin(x)= opposite/hypotenuse

Cosecant or csc(x)= hypotenuse/opposite

You can actually use either of these to solve your problem, but for convenience let's use cosecant.

Cosecant of 72° will be equal to HI (the hypotenuse length) divided by HJ (the length of the opposite leg of angle I)
Cosecant of 72° will be equal to HI divided by 1.2 (substitute the given length for HJ)
1.05146222424 (plug csc(72°) into a calculator)=HI/1.2
1.05146222424*1.2=HI (multiply each side of the equation by 1.2)
HI=1.26175466909 (simplify)
HI≈1.3 (round the simplified number to the nearest tenth, as the problem requests)

1. One way to approach this is to convert the magnitude and direction of each force to rectangular coordinates.

... first force = 90(cos(30°), sin(30°)) = (77.94, 45.00)

... second force = 50(cos(160°), sin(160°)) = (-46.98, 17.10)

Then their sum is

... resultant force = first force + second force = (30.96, 62.10)

The magnitude is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

... resultant magnitude = √(30.96^2 + 62.10^2)

... ... = √(958.52+3856.41) = √4814.93

... ... = 69.39

The resultant direction can be found using the definition of the tangent function.

... tan(α) = 62.10/30.96 = 2.01

... α = arctan(2.01) = 63.55°

The (magnitude, direction) of the resultant force are (69.39, 63.55°).

(Note that rounding introduced an error of 0.05° in the direction.)

2. Using DeMoivre's theorem, the magnitude of the 4th root is the 4th root of the magnitude, and the angle of the 4th root is 1/4 of the angle (and its aliases).

... fourth root = 256^(1/4)∠((240°+k*360°)/4) = 4∠(60°+k*90°) . . . . k=0, 1, 2, 3

Answer:

Your answers for the row #6 are (going from left to right) 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation-If you look at each column, you can see that if you take the top number on any row by its side number, you just add the two.

Take the number one on the left side and add it to the number one on the top column. 1 + 1=2. So therefore, that is why there is a 2 in the answer box. 1 + 2=3, which is the next answer. It's like a pattern. Just take the number on the side and add it to the top letter until you get to the end of the row.

Example- In the first row, it goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 for a reason. The reason you have 2 for the first orange box is because 1 + 1 = 2
