If a is the variable of the horizontal axis, then you can solve for b to get the equation of the line in slope-intercept form in the a,b plane:

-a+3b=0\implies b=\dfrac a3

i.e. a line with slope \dfrac13 through the origin, which means it is contained in the first and third quadrants. Since the terminal side of \theta has a negative sine, the angle must lie in the third quadrant.

Because the slope of the line is \dfrac13, you can choose any length along the line to make up the hypotenuse of a right triangle with reference angle \theta. Any such right triangle will have \tan\theta=\dfrac13, regardless of whether the angle is the first or third quadrant. But since \theta is known to lie in the third quadrant, and so \sin\theta and \cos\theta are both negative, you have

\tan\theta=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac13\implies \dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac{-1}{-3}\implies \cos\theta=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula C=πd

Plug in 20 for d and simplify

You then get 62.8318530718 in a calculator

So, you round it to 62.83

Suppose that you flip a coin 13 times. What is the probability that you achieve at least 5 tails?
wariber [46]
Heads, or tails. It's 1/2 a chance, because either way you will either land heads or tails. It would be a probability of 1-(1/2)^5. Can you solve that?

A college parking lot is 140 ft long and 90 ft wide. The college wants to increase the area of the lot by 29% by adding strips o
Novay_Z [31]
The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:

length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft

initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2

Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2

width of the strips: x

New length: 140 + x

New width: 90 + x

New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254

Solution of the equation:

12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254

=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0

Use the quadratic formula.

x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =

x = 14.92

The other solution is negative so it is discarded.

Answer: 15 ft
