What is the reference angle for cos 2pie/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
kirill [66]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If your mind works better in degrees than it does radians, as does mine, it will be beneficial to us to see what degree measure this angle is. Convert it to degrees using the fact that 180° = π:

\frac{2\pi}{3}*\frac{180}{\pi}=120 degrees

Now that we know that, we can plot that angle in a coordinate plane. The terminal side of the angle lands in quadrant 2. To find the reference angle, we subtract 120 from 180 and get that the reference angle is 60 degrees, which is the same as π/3.

Use the distance formula, show that the points (4,0), (2,1), and (-1,-5) form the vertices of a right triangle
mario62 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Substitute the coordinates of the points.

A(4,\ 0),\ B(2,\ 1),\ C(-1,\ -5)\\\\AB=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt5\\\\AC=\sqrt{(-1-4)^2+(-5-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-5)^2}=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{50}\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-5-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{9+36}=\sqrt{45}

If a ≤ b < c are the sides of the right triangle, then

a² + b² = c²

\sqrt5

used (\sqrt{a})^2=a for a ≥ 0.

AB^2+BC^2=AC^2 therefore ΔABC is a right triangle.

Calculate the missing angle and give a reason for your answer.

Answer: 54 degrees
explanation: i haven’t learned this yet but it looks like those two angles are complementary angles so the other one would have to 54 so it adds up to 90 degrees
