Each inch in the map is equivalent to 8 miles.

Explanation:

There is a distance of 24 miles between two parks. This 24 miles is represented by an 8-inch gap in the map.

So 8 inches on that particular map = 24 miles in real life.

To find the distance that an inch on the map represents we must divide both sides of the above equation. Since we need to calculate how much distance 1 inch represents we divide both the sides by 8 so that 8 inches on the map changes into 1 inch.

$\frac{8}{8}$ inches on the map = $\frac{24}{8}$ miles between the two parks in real life,

1 inch on that particular map = 3 miles in real life.

So each inch on the given map is equal to 8 miles in real life.

Find sin(a)&cos(B), tan(a)&cot(B), and sec(a)&csc(B).

Reil [10]

Answer:

Part A) $sin(\alpha)=\frac{4}{7},\ cos(\beta)=\frac{4}{7}$

Part B) $tan(\alpha)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}},\ tan(\beta)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

Part C) $sec(\alpha)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}},\ csc(\beta)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Find $sin(\alpha)\ and\ cos(\beta)$

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then the value of sine of one angle is equal to the cosine of the other angle

In this problem

$\alpha+\beta=90^o$ ---> by complementary angles

so

$sin(\alpha)=cos(\beta)$

Find the value of $sin(\alpha)$ in the right triangle of the figure

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{8}{14}$ ---> opposite side divided by the hypotenuse

simplify

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{4}{7}$

therefore

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{4}{7}$

$cos(\beta)=\frac{4}{7}$

Part B) Find $tan(\alpha)\ and\ cot(\beta)$

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then the value of tangent of one angle is equal to the cotangent of the other angle

In this problem

$\alpha+\beta=90^o$ ---> by complementary angles

so

$tan(\alpha)=cot(\beta)$

<em>Find the value of the length side adjacent to the angle alpha</em>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

Let

x ----> length side adjacent to angle alpha

$14^2=x^2+8^2\\x^2=14^2-8^2\\x^2=132$

$x=\sqrt{132}\ units$

simplify

$x=2\sqrt{33}\ units$

Find the value of $tan(\alpha)$ in the right triangle of the figure

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{8}{2\sqrt{33}}$ ---> opposite side divided by the adjacent side angle alpha

simplify

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

therefore

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

$tan(\beta)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

Part C) Find $sec(\alpha)\ and\ csc(\beta)$

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then the value of secant of one angle is equal to the cosecant of the other angle

In this problem

$\alpha+\beta=90^o$ ---> by complementary angles

so

$sec(\alpha)=csc(\beta)$

Find the value of $sec(\alpha)$ in the right triangle of the figure

$sec(\alpha)=\frac{1}{cos(\alpha)}$

Find the value of $cos(\alpha)$

$cos(\alpha)=\frac{2\sqrt{33}}{14}$ ---> adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse

simplify

$cos(\alpha)=\frac{\sqrt{33}}{7}$

therefore

$sec(\alpha)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}}$

$csc(\beta)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}}$
