Answer:

tan A = -15/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin^2a = 1 - cos^2A

= 1 - (-8/17)^2

= 225/289

So sin A= 15/17

tan A = sin A / cos A

= 15/17 / -8/17

= 15/-8

= -15/8.

A snail travels 10 cm in 4 minutes. At this rate: How long will it take the snail to travel 24 cm?

atroni [7]

It will take the snail 9.6 minutes to travel 24cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered in 4 minutes = 10 cm

Ratio of distance to time = 10:4

New distance = 24cm

Let,

x be the time period

Ratio of new distance to time = 24:x

Using proportions;

Ratio of distance to time :: Ratio of new distance to time

$10:4::24:x$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$24*4=10*x\\96=10x\\10x=96$

Dividing both sides by 10

$\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{96}{10}\\x=9.6\ minutes$

It will take the snail 9.6 minutes to travel 24cm.

Anoki bought 360 millimeters of fabric. How many centimeters of fabric does Anoki have? It’s either 360, 36.0,3.60, or 0.360

Stels [109]

Hey!

First, we need to know how many millimeters are in a centimeter.

10 mm = 1 cm

Okay, now we can write an equation.

360 mm ÷ 10

To solve this equation, we simply divide.

360 mm ÷ 10 = 36 cm

So, if Anoki bought 360 millimeters of fabric, that means he has 36.0 centimeters of fabric.

Hope this helps!
