Answer:

b= sin(43°) * 8 / sin(55°) ≈ 6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Regarding the law of sines, each angle corresponds to the side opposite of it. Here, that means that the 82 degree angle is opposite of side c (so they correspond) and that the 55 degree angle corresponds to the side with 8cm. However, we are trying to find the length of side b. Therefore, assuming that the side with 8cm is side A, if we know that

sin A / a = sinB/b = sin C / C

= sin(55°)/8 = sinB/b = sin(82°) / c, we can take c out of the equation to get

sin(55°)/8 = sinB/b

If we know sinB, we can multiply both sides by 8 to remove a denominator to get

sin(55°) * b / 8 = sinB

multiply both sides by 8 to remove the other denominator to get

sin(55°) * b = sinB * 8

divide both sides by sin(55°) to isolate the b

b = sinB * 8/sin(55°).

Therefore, if we know sinB, we can figure out the length of b.

Because the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we can say that

180 = 82 + 55 + angle B

180 = 137 + B

subtract both sides by 137 to isolate B

43 = B

b= sin(43°) * 8 / sin(55°) ≈ 6.7

\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^{k-1}

The infinite geometric series is converges if |r| < 1.

We have r=1/6 < 1, therefore our infinite geometric series is converges.

The sum S of an infinite geometric series with |r| < 1 is given by the formula :

S=\dfrac{a_1}{1-r}

We have:

a_1=420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^{1-1}=420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^0=420\\\\r=\dfrac{1}{6}

substitute:

S=\dfrac{420}{1-\frac{1}{6}}=\dfrac{420}{\frac{5}{6}}=420\cdot\dfrac{6}{5}=84\cdot6=504

Answer: d. Converges, 504.

Which of the following could be the ratio between the lengths of the two legs
skad [1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B, E

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of side lengths in a 30-60-90 triangle are ...

  1 : √3 : 2

The two legs are the shorter sides, so any ratio that reduces to 1 : √3 is an appropriate choice:

  B.  1 : √3

  E.  2√3 : 6

Find the value of the expression if x=-7
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: -16

Step-by-step explanation:

49 would be the result of -7 squared. Due to the fact it is negative, it would cancel out to be positive.

For the numerator, 49-1 is equivalent to 48.

48/x+4

-7+4 = -3

48/-3

= -16
