Sin Ø = -8/17 and cos Ø = 15/17. Find tan Ø

Mathematics
1 answer:
yaroslaw [1]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

-8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

So remember what sin, cos, and tan are.

sin = opposite/hypotenuse

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse

tan = opposite/adjacent

Now, using what we know of sin and cos, lets find opposite and adjacent to solve for tan.

Sin=-8/17

So this must mean that opposite is -8, and the hypotenuse is 17.

Next, lets find adjacent. Cos = 15/17

So this must mean that adjacent is 15, and again, hypotenuse is 17.

Now lets take the -8 of the opposite, and 15 of the adjacent, and get tan.

<u>Tan: -8/15. </u>

17 is not included in this whatsoever, since hypotenuse is not included in tan. And remember that it cannot be -15/8, since its opposite/adjacent, not adjacent/opposite.

Hope this helps!

How do we represent a percent in a equation
Anastasy [175]

Answer: heres an example

Step-by-step explanation:Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/X = P%

X is 60, Y is 12, so the equation is 12/60 = P%

Do the math: 12/60 = 0.20

Important! The result will always be in decimal form, not percentage form. You need to multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Converting 0.20 to a percent: 0.20 * 100 = 20%

Jason wants to cut a rope that is 60 feet long into several equal pieces with nothing left over. How many pieces will he have if
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

2 pieces, 30ft each

Step-by-step explanation:

rope : 60ft long

we are trying to figure out how many equal pieces we can cut the rope into with the length of each piece to be the greatest possible integer:

if jason wants the length of rope to be the longest than the answer is 2, if he divides the length of 60 by 2, each piece will be 30 feet long. If he divides the rope by any number larger, each piece will be shorter than 30 feet, and he wants the piece to be the largest possible length.

CAN SOMEONE HELP PLZ AND EXPLAIN BEC IF DONT DO GOOD I CANT GO TO MY DADS HOUSE THIS WEEK END
Galina-37 [17]
Hello!

6.
Since the area is that of a square, you know that all side lengths are the same. 

Area is base times height (A = bh), but since base and height are the same for a square, you get the formula A = a².

A = a^{2}
144 = a^{2}
\sqrt{144} = a
12 = a

The length of the side of a square with an area of 144 in² is 12 in.

7.
Rational number.

8.
This is a right triangle; use the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing lengths of right triangles. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Plug in your leg lengths:

a² + b² = c²
8² + x² = 21²
64 + x² = 441
x² = 377
x = 19.4
