Answer:
a = 2.5
b = 4.33
Step-by-step explanation:
a = sin(30 degrees) = o/5 = 2.5
b = cos(30 degrees) = a/5 = (5root3) / 2 or about 4.33
verify using Pythagorean theorem
2.5^2 + 4.33^2 = 5^2
6.25 + 18.75 = 25
25 = 25
You have to distribute it or use FOIL (if u know that method). This is basically factoring.
for instance:
(2x-9)×(x+4)
first: 2x × x = 2x^2
second: 2x × 4 = 8x
third: -9 × x = -9x
forth: -9 × 4 = -36
now combine like terms.
2x^2 + 8x -9x - 36
(8x and -9x are like terms)
(add the two together, which is -1x or -x)
2x^2 -x -36 is ur answer
now do this same method for the rest
