In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, what is the length of the longer leg when the length of the hypotenuse is 18 inches?

Mathematics
1 answer:
max2010maxim [7]3 years ago

Answer:

9sqrt(3) in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is:

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

      1        :   sqrt(3)  :          2

If the short leg measures 1, then the hypotenuse measures 2.

The length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg.

The length of the long leg is sqrt(3) times the length of the short leg.

If the hypotenuse measures 18 in., then the short leg measures 9 in.

Then the long leg measures 9sqrt(3) in.

Write the interval (5,100] as an inequality and using set notation
drek231 [11]

Answer: { x | 5 < x ≤ 100 }  OR  { x ∈ ℝ | 5 < x ≤ 100 }

Step-by-step explanation:

{ x | 5 < x ≤ 100 }

This means:

"The set of all x's, such that x is greater than 5 and less than or equal to 100"

Another acceptable way to write this is

{ x ∈ ℝ | 5 < x ≤ 100 }

"x ∈ ℝ" simply means x is an element of all real numbers

Maria's plant grew 3 1/4 inches every month for 2 1/2 months. How many inches did Maria's plant grow during that time?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 8.125 inches

Step-by-step explanation: Ok so if the plant grew 3.25 inches every month, and there were 2.5 months, you need to multiply 3.25 by 2.5 to get the total amount of growth. So that would be 8.125

Richard bought a pair of shoes for $37.00, a tie for $22.00, and a new belt for $17.00. If the sales tax is 7.5%, how much sales
nadezda [96]

It seems to me, that if you were to add the price of all three items together, then multiply by 7.5%, you'd have the answer.  Remember that 7.5% = .075 ... in other words, that is the number you would multiply the sum of the items by.  Does that help?

Simplify the expression using trigonometric identities: sec (–θ) – cos θ.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

sin θ . tan θ

Step-by-step explanation:

Note : -

sec ( - θ ) = sec θ

Formula / Identity : -

sec θ = 1 / cos θ

sec ( - θ ) - cos θ

= [ 1 / cos θ ] - cos θ

{ LCM = cos θ }

= [ 1 / cos θ ] - [ cos²θ / cos θ ]

= [ 1 - cos²θ ] / cos θ

{ 1 - cos²θ = sin²θ }

= sin²θ / cos θ

{ sin²θ = sin θ . sin θ }

= sin θ . sin θ / cos θ

{ sin θ / cos θ = tan θ }

= sin θ . tan θ

Hence, simplified.
