Answers:

  • One possible equation to solve is tan(x) = 4/15
  • That solves to roughly 15 degrees

==============================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The segment AB is the player's height of 6 ft.

The segment CD is the hoop's height, which is 10 ft.

There is a point E on CD such that rectangle BACE forms. This will help us form ED later.

Angle EBD is what we're after, which I'll call x.

Since the free throw line is 15 ft from the basket, this means segments EB and AC are 15 ft each.

In rectangle BACE, the side EC is opposite AB. So both of those sides are 6 ft each.

Since CD = 10 and EC = 6, this must mean ED = CD-EC = 10-6 = 4.

---------------------------------------

To summarize, we found that ED = 4 and EB = 15.

We'll focus our attention entirely on triangle EBD

We have two known legs of the triangle, specifically the opposite and adjacent sides.

So we'll use the tangent ratio.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = ED/EB

tan(x) = 4/15 .... is the equation to solve

x = arctan(4/15) .... same as inverse tangent or \tan^{-1}

x = 14.931417 ..... make sure to be in degree mode

x = 15 ..... rounding to the nearest whole degree

So that unknown angle in the diagram is approximately 15 degrees

laila [671]

Answer:

T(t) = 5(3)(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 cells initially.

And it triple every hour.

So

T0 =5

T(t) = T0(3t)

Each cell has it's multipling factor because it's Will be multipling by 3 every hour

T(t) = 5(3)(t)

A function has a y-intercept of -6 and x-intercepts at (2,0) and (6,0). Which graph represents this function?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: I'm guessing it would be a parabola, with the line going through -6 on the y-axis and passing through 2 and 6 on the x-axis, but we cannot see any answers, so therefore we can't answer it accurately.

A school has a hurdle track that is 1/5 of a mile long. They are considering extending the track to be 1/4 of a mile long. The c
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:   4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  The hurdle track that is 1/5 of a mile long.

And, After extending the track, the length of the hurdle track = 1/4 of a mile

Therefore, the unit rate of length in the longer track per mile of length in the shorter track = the initial length of the hurdle track / the final length of the hurdel track

= \frac{1/5}{1/4}

= \frac{4}{5}
