Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of a 60 degree angle = Sin(60) / Cos(60)

Sin(60) = Square root (3) / 2

Cos(60) = 1/2

Tan(60) = √3 / 2 // 1/2   Invert the denominator and multiply

Tan(60) = √3/2 * 2/1

Tan(60) = √3

Tan(theta) = opposite / adjacent

Tan(theta) = x/3 in this case

Tan(60) = √3 = x/3

x = 3*√3

Answer:

3\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In all 30-60-90 triangles, the side lengths are in the ratio x:x\sqrt{3}:2x, where x is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle and 2x is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Since the side opposite to the 30 degree angle is marked as 3, the value of x must be \boxed{3\sqrt{3}}.

Alternatively, we can use basic trig. for a right triangle to solve. In any right triangle, the tangent of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by its adjacent side. Thus, we have:

\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{x}{3},\\x=3\tan 60^{\circ}=\boxed{3\sqrt{3}}

Write the standard equation of a circle that passes through (−2, 10) with center (−2, 6).
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Standard form of a circle" (x-h)²+(y-k)²=r², (h,k) being the center, r being the radius.
in this case, h=-2, k=6, (x+2)²+(y-6)²=r²
use the point (-2,10) to find r: (-2+2)²+(10-6)²=r², r=4
so the equation of the circle is: (x+2)²+(y-6)²=4²

A school debate team has four girls and six boys. A total of four of the team members will be chosen to participate in the distr
alex41 [277]
Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7

0.04 rounded to the nearest hundreth<br><br> and <br><br> 0.2% rounded to the nearest hundreth
ELEN [110]
To round a number, you look to the next place to the right of what you want to round to... for example, if you want to round to the nearest hundredth, you look to the thousandths place to see whether the hundredths place rounds up or down.

0.04 is already at the hundredths place so the thousandths place is zero... the answer to the nearest hundredth is 0.04.

For 0.2%, you have to convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100 (move the decimal 2 places to the left).

0.2% = 0.002

So now to round to the nearest hundredth, we look to the thousandths place. The thousandths place has a 2 in it so the hundredths place rounds down. 0.2% total he nearest hundredth is 0.
