Answer:

\displaystyle \sin(A-B)=\frac{495}{1073}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

\displaystyle \tan(A)=\frac{35}{12}\text{ and } \sin(B)=\frac{20}{29}

Where both A and B are positive acute angles.

And we want to find he value of sin(A-B).

Using the first ratio, we can conclude that the opposite side is 35 and the adjacent side is 12.

Then by the Pythagorean Theorem, the hypotenuse is:

h = \sqrt{35^2 + 12^2} =37

Using the second ratio, we can likewise conclude that the opposite side is 20 and the hypotenuse is 29.

Then by the Pythagorean Theorem, the adjacent is:

a=\sqrt{29^2-20^2}=21

Therefore, we can conclude that:

So, for A, the adjacent is 12, opposite is 35, and the hypotenuse is 37.

For B, the adjacent is 21, opposite is 20, and the hypotenuse is 29.

We can rewrite sin(A-B) as:

\sin(A-B)=\sin(A)\cos(B)-\cos(A)\sin(B)

Using the above conclusions, this yields: (Note that since A and B are positive acute angles, all resulting ratios will be positive.)

\displaystyle \sin(A-B)=\Big(\frac{35}{37}\Big)\Big(\frac{21}{29}\Big)-\Big(\frac{12}{37}\Big)\Big(\frac{20}{29}\Big)

Evaluate:

\displaystyle \sin(A-B)=\frac{735-240}{1073}=\frac{495}{1073}

X+3/2 + (x-1) = 4/5 ​
tester [92]

Answer:

x = \frac{3}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + \frac{3}{2} + (x - 1) = \frac{4}{5}

Multiply through by 10 ( the LCM of 2 and 5 ) to clear the fractions

10x + 15 + 10(x - 1) = 8

10x + 15 + 10x - 10 = 8

20x + 5 = 8 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

20x = 3 ( divide both sides by 20 )

x = \frac{3}{20}

To find the quotient 4 divided1/5 multiply 4 by
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing numbers by fractions, we can simply multiply the  umber by the reciprocal of the decimal. So,

4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × (reciprocal of 1/5)

A reciprocal of a number is the same number written under 1. aka, 1 divided by that number, which simply is flipping the numerator and denominator of a number.

So the reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1 = 5.

So 4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × 5.

So your answer is 5.

hope it was useful!

In the rectangle below, AC has a length of 28 units. What is the length of DE
bixtya [17]

Answer:

The answer would be A. 14 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

If AC is 28 units, and AC goes from one corner to the next, and DE is half of AC, that would make DE 14. Pretty much all you would have to do is divide AC in half since DE is half of AC.
