Pam read 126 pages of her summer reading bookin 3 hours. Zac read a180 pages of his summer reading book in 4 hours. If they cont

inue to read at the same speeds, will they both finish the 215 page book after 5 total hours of reading?

Answer:

Zac will finish, Pam won’t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s have the individual reading speeds

The individual reading speeds are the number of pages divided by hours taken

For Pam; 126/3 = 42 pages per hour

For Zac; 180/4 = 45 pages per hour

In five hours, Zac would read; 45 * 5 = 225 pages

In five hours, Pam would read 42 * 5 = 210 pages

Which of the sets of three dimensions could make a right triangle

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

B) 6, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

All right triangles will follow the following theorem (Pythagorean theorem):

$a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where $a$ and $b$ are two legs of the triangle and $c$ is the hypotenuse. Out of all answer choices, only B) 6, 8, 10 follow this theorem.

If cos() = − 2 3 and is in Quadrant III, find tan() cot() + csc(). Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = \frac{5 - 3\sqrt 5}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\cos(\theta) = -\frac{2}{3}$

$\theta \to$ Quadrant III

Required

Determine $\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta)$

We have:

$\cos(\theta) = -\frac{2}{3}$

We know that:

$\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1$

This gives:

$\sin^2(\theta) + (-\frac{2}{3})^2 = 1$

$\sin^2(\theta) + (\frac{4}{9}) = 1$

Collect like terms

$\sin^2(\theta) = 1 - \frac{4}{9}$

Take LCM and solve

$\sin^2(\theta) = \frac{9 -4}{9}$

$\sin^2(\theta) = \frac{5}{9}$

Take the square roots of both sides

$\sin(\theta) = \±\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}$

Sin is negative in quadrant III. So:

$\sin(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}$

Calculate $\csc(\theta)$

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}$

We have: $\sin(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}$

So:

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{-\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}}$

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3}{\sqrt 5}$

Rationalize

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3}{\sqrt 5}*\frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5}$

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3\sqrt 5}{5}$

So, we have:

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta)$

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = \tan(\theta) \cdot \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} + \csc(\theta)$

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = 1 + \csc(\theta)$

Substitute: $\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3\sqrt 5}{5}$

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = 1 -\frac{3\sqrt 5}{5}$

Take LCM

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = \frac{5 - 3\sqrt 5}{5}$
