What you're seeing here is 12 being multiplied by its reciprocal. 12 * 1/12 = 1. This is an example of a multiplicative inverse; a multiplicative inverse is when you multiply a number by its reciprocal (1 over the number).
Answer:
B = 62.9ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance where she is from the oak tree is 75ft,
The angle of elevation the stone makes with the top of the oak tree is 40°
The height of the tree is x ft
See attached document for better illustration
Using SOHCAHTOA,
Tanθ = opposite/ adjacent
θ = 40°
Opposite = x ft
Adjacent = 75ft
Tan40 = x / 75
X = 75 × tan40
X = 75 × 0.8390
X = 62.92ft
The height of the oak tree is 62.9ft
Answer:
<em>Correct choices: a) 5:12 and c) 7 to 12</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of red beads to pink beads is 5:7. This means that for every 5 red beads there are 7 pink beads.
It also means that for every 12 beads there are 5 red beads and 7 pink beads.
Therefore, there are two part-to-whole ratios:
5:12 red beans to total beads, and
7:12 pink beans to total beads
Correct choices: a) 5:12 and c) 7 to 12
