Answer:
The approximated length of EF is 2.2 units ⇒ A
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The tangent ratio in the right triangle is the ratio between the opposite side to the adjacent side of one of the acute angle in the triangle</em>
In the given figure
∵ The triangle DFE has a right angle F
∵ The opposite side to angle D is EF
∵ The adjacent side to angle D is DF
→ By using the tangent ratio above
∴ tan(∠D) =
∵ DF = 6 units
∵ m∠D = 20°
→ Substitute then in the ratio above
∴ tan(20°) =
→ Multiply both sides by 6
∴ 6 tan(20°) = EF
∴ 2.183821406 = EF
→ Approximate it to the nearest tenth
∴ 2.2 = EF
∴ The approximated length of EF is 2.2 units

Answer:
x ∈ {2π/3, π, 4π/3} ≈ {2.09440, 3.14159, 4.18879}
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be put into standard form by adding 1:
2cos²(x) +3cos(x) +1 = 0
(2cos(x) +1)(cos(x) +1) = 0
Values of cos(x) that make this true* are ...
cos(x) = -1/2 . . . . . . . . . true for x=2π/3, x=4π/3
cos(x) = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . true for x=π
