Answers:
tan(A) = 8/15
sin(A) = 8/17
cos(A) = 15/17
==================================================
Explanation:
The tangent ratio involves the opposite over adjacent. With respect to angle A, the opposite side is 8 units long as this side is as far as possible away from angle A. In contrast, the adjacent side is 15 units long because this leg is closest possible and the two are right next to one another.
Therefore,
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(A) = BC/AC
tan(A) = 8/15
---------------
As for the other trig ratios, they are:
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
which explains why sin(A) and cos(A) are 8/17 and 15/17 respectively.
Answer:
390 inches long
Step-by-step explanation:
The string = x
x = 390 inches
Answer:
A=8
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use the formula 30-60-90 which is a-radical 3a-2a
since the hypotenuse is 2a it equals 16
therefore if its 2a all you need to do is divide it where then you get 8.
First, you set your problem up like this:
-4x+3=2x-6
add 6 to both sides so it looks like this:
-4x+9=2x
add 4x to both sides so it looks like this:
9=6x
divide 6 from both sides so this is your answer:
1.5=x
