Answer:

X = 12.84°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the measure of the angle labeled x

To do this, we use the appropriate trigonometric identity

From the diagram, we have it that the side 200 which the angle x faces is the opposite, the other side of 900 is the hypotenuse which is the longest side and the side that faces the right angle

The trigonometric identity that relates opposite to the hypotenuse is the sine

Thus;

sin x = 200/900

sin x = 2/9

sin x = 0.222

x = arc•sin (0.222)

x = 12.84 degrees

A sheet of paper has a perimeter of 39 in. if the width of the paper is 8.5 in . what is the length of the sheet of paper
Valentin [98]
If the perimeter is 39 what you have to do is 39 - 8.5 - 8.5 that will give you 22 and divide 22/2 and that gives you 11. So 11 is the length

IS THIS IN SIMPLIST FORM? PLEASE HELP! TY! <br><br> 2( x - 3 + 2 )
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two steps to take here.  First add together the -3 + 2 in the brackets:

2(x - 3 + 2)

= 2(x - 1)

Now use the distributive property and multiply each term in the brackets by two:

2(x - 1)

= 2x - 2

And you now have it in simplest form.

PLEASE HELP!!
jonny [76]

Answer:

  • A. f(n) = (n + 1)^2 – 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure 1

  • 3 = 4 - 1 = 2² - 1 = (1 + 1)² - 1

Figure 2

  • 8 = 9 - 1 = 3² - 1 = (2 + 1)² - 1

Figure 3

  • 15 = 16 - 1 = 4² - 1 = (3 + 1)² - 1

<u>The function is:</u>

  • f(n) = (n + 1)² - 1
