Answer:

-16/65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sinα = 3/5 in quadrant 1;

Since  sinα = opp/hyp

opp = 3

hyp = 5

adj^2 = hyp^2 - opp^2

adj^2 = 5^2 = 3^2

adj^2 = 25-9

adj^2 = 16

adj = 4

Since all the trig identity are positive in Quadrant 1, hence;

cosα = adj/hyp = 4/5

Similarly, if tanβ = 5/12 in Quadrant III,

According to trig identity

tan theta = opp/adj

opp = 5

adj = 12

hyp^2 = opp^2+adj^2

hyp^2 = 5^2+12^2

hyp^2 = 25+144

hyp^2 = 169

hyp = 13

Since only tan is positive in Quadrant III, then;

sinβ = -5/13

cosβ = -12/13

Get the required expression;

sin(α - β) = sinαcosβ - cosαsinβ

Substitute the given values

sin(α - β) = 3/5(-12/13) - 4/5(-5/13)

sin(α - β)= -36/65 + 20/65

sin(α - β) = -16/65

Hence the value of sin(α - β) is -16/65

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Dimension of room = 18 foot x 18 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the square room is of side a foot,

The cost of re-finishing the hardwood floors is $2.25 per square foot and the cost of purchasing and installing the new baseboards $14.5 per linear foot

Total cost is  $1773.

Cost for re-finishing the hardwood floors = Area x 2.25

Area = a²

Cost for re-finishing the hardwood floors = 2.25 a²

Cost of purchasing and installing the new baseboards = Perimeter x 14.5

Perimeter = 4a

Cost of purchasing and installing the new baseboards = 4a x 14.5 = 58 a

Total cost = Cost for re-finishing the hardwood floors + Cost of purchasing and installing the new baseboards

1773 = 2.25 a² + 58a

2.25 a² + 58a - 1773 = 0

a = 18 or a = -43.77(not possible)

Dimension of room = 18 foot x 18 foot

What is the measure of angle 7?
gladu [14]

Answer: 95°

Step-by-step explanation: We are given information for Angles 1 and 4, which happen to be vertical angles, meaning they are congruent. Because of this, we can say 3x+10=4x-15, therefore x=25. Angles 1,2,3 and 4 must add up to 360°, and since we know angles 1 and 4 are 85° (3*25 + 10 = 85), we can find angles 2 and 3. 360° - 85° - 85° = Angle 2 + Angle 3. Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 190, and because Angles 2 and 3 are vertical angles and therefore congruent, we can divide 190 by 2 and get that Angles 2 and 3 equal 95°. Because lines b and c are parallel, any corresponding angles created by a transversal are congruent. This basically means Angles 3 and 7 must be congruent, therefore Angle 7 = 95°

Congruent - same meaning as equal

Vertical Angles - each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines.

1 cup = 8 fluid ounces Does that mean it takes 24 fluid ounces of water to fill any 3 plastic cups?
Pavel [41]
Notice they say Plastic cups. Cups and plastic cups are not the same. Cups are a form of measurement while plastic cups are a container. This is not a true statement. Hope this helps!
