Since you need a little bit of trigonometry to solve this problem,
I'm pretty sure you've had a little bit of trigonometry in class before
you were assigned to solve this problem.
-- The shaded triangle comes from taking the equilateral triangle and
either folding it in half or cutting it in half.
-- The base that the new triangle is standing on is 1/2 the base of the
equilateral triangle, so it's 7 cm long.
-- The acute angle at the right end of the base is the same as it was in
the equilateral triangle . . . 60 degrees.
-- The tangent of 60 degrees is (opposite side)/(adjacent side) = x / 7 cm
tan(60) = x/7
-- Multiply each side of this little equation by 7 : 7 tan(60) = x
If you don't have the tangent of 60 degrees in your pocket, you can
find it with your calculator. Multiply it by 7, and Shazam, you know 'x' .
remember that local minimuns are points in which the function was decreasing and starts increasing.
you can try two ways of doing it, graphing the functions or using derivatives.
since this are twelve functios the easier way is to graph them.
start by function y=x
in this case this function is continously increasing as x increases, which means that it does not have any local maxima or minima.
now do the same for
this graph has a local minima on th
<span>x.line is the correct answer</span>
I think it's B. 168 units
Because I multiplied them all together and halved the answer
Answer:C
Step-by-step explanation: there is no such thing as "cot"
