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.

If the customer's order came to $6.22 and he gave you $20.25 what is his change

taurus [48]

He'll get $14.03 because 20.25 is what he gave but it only came up to 6.22 so 20.25-6.22=14.03

A rectangular box has a square base. The combined length of a side of the square base, and the height is 20 in. Let x be the len

aniked [119]

Answer:

a. V = (20-x) $x^{2}$ $in^{3}$

b . 1185.185 $in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The height: 20 - x (in )
Let x be the length of a side of the base of the box (x>0)

a. Write a polynomial function in factored form modeling the volume V of the box.

As we know that, this is a rectangular box has a square base so the Volume of it is:

V = h * $x^{2}$ $in^{3}$

<=> V = (20-x) $x^{2}$ $in^{3}$

b. What is the maximum possible volume of the box?

To maximum the volume of it, we need to use first derivative of the volume.

<=> dV / Dx = -3 $x^{2}$ + 40x

Let dV / Dx = 0, we have:

-3 $x^{2}$ + 40x = 0

<=> x = 40/3

=>the height h = 20/3

So the maximum possible volume of the box is:

V = 20/3 * 40/3 *40/3

= 1185.185 $in^{3}$

Perform the indicated operation. (-18)/-(4)

Illusion [34]

A negative divided by a negative is always a positive. 4 can go into 18 only 4 times to get 16 with a remainder of 2. 2 is half of four, therefore -4 can go into -18 4.5 times.
The answer is 4 1/2 or 4.5.
I hope this helps ^-^
