The absolute value is c.8
absolute value is always positive the answer is never negative. mark me as brainliest:)
We use the trigonometric function for this case. An escalator is an inclined path. We form a right triangle since we have given the value of the height. The height from the first floor to second floor is called the adjacent while the travelled distance of the people is called the hypothenuse. We use cosine function because we are given in terms of adjacent and hypothenuse. The ratio of cosine function is
cos x = a/h
where x is the angle
Solving for h,
h = a/(cos x) = 21/(cos 30) = 24.25 ft
5/20 can also be represented as 25/100 or 25%. The can be done by multiplying the top and bottom both by 5 and then dividing our numerator (25) by our denominator(100) to get the %.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given </u>
<u>In the first quadrant both sine and cosine are positive, so as tangent.</u>
- tanθ = sinθ / cosθ =
θ / cosθ =
/ 4/5 =
/ 4/5 = - 3/5*5/4 =
- 3/4
