Answer: 8/17
Step-by-step explanation: The ratio for tangent is opposite/adjacent. The side opposite from Y has a length of 8, and the side next to it has a length of 15. These are the lengths of the legs of the triangle. To find the sine ratio, you need the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. 8^2=64 and 15^2=225. 225+64=289. The square root of 289 is 17. The hypotenuse has a length of 17.
The ratio for sine is opposite/hypotenuse. Take the value of the opposite from the tangent ratio (8) and the length of the hypotenuse (17) to get 8/17.

Answer:
split the number into equal pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming "splitting any number" means identifying parts that have the number as their sum, the maximum product of the parts will be found where the parts all have equal values.
We have to assume that the number being split is positive and all of the parts are positive.
<h3>2 parts</h3>
If we divide number n into parts x and (n -x), their product is the quadratic function x(n -x). The graph of this function opens downward and has zeros at x=0 and x=n. The vertex (maximum product) is halfway between the zeros, at x = (0 + n)/2 = n/2.
<h3>3 parts</h3>
Similarly, we can look at how to divide a (positive) number into 3 parts that have the largest product. Let's assume that one part is x. Then the other two parts will have a maximum product when they are equal. Their values will be (n-x)/2, and their product will be ((n -x)/2)^2. Then the product of the three numbers is ...
p = x(x^2 -2nx +n^2)/4 = (x^3 -2nx^2 +xn^2)/4
This will be maximized where its derivative is zero:
p' = (1/4)(3x^2 -4nx +n^2) = 0
(3x -n)(x -n) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
x = n/3 or n
We know that x=n will give a minimum product (0), so the maximum product is obtained when x = n/3.
<h3>more parts</h3>
A similar development can prove by induction that the parts must all be equal.
Answer: I believe the answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation: In special case isosceles right triangles the hypotenuse is always equal to a · √2. With a=5√2 we can set up the equation 5√2 · √2 = 10.
