In trigonometry, the trigonometric ratios are used to determine the value of the trigonometric functions of the angles of a right triangle.

The trigonometric ratios is commonly called SOH-CAH-TOA, according to the formulas used to obtain then.

Given a right triangle with angles A, B and C and sides 17, 8 and 15.

Since, the denominator of the given ratio is 15, which is not the hypothenuse (the slant side), thus, the trigonometric function is neither sin nor cos but tan, thus we look for the angle which the side of length 15 is the adjacent side. The required angle is B.

Therefore, 8/15 represent tan B.

40 POINTS!!!!!!!! The length of a rectangle is 7 millimeters longer than its width. The perimeter is more than 62 millimeters.

Arte-miy333 [17]

a) L = W + 7

b) 2 ( L + W ) > 62

c) 2 ( W + 7 + W ) > 62

2w+14+2w>62

4w+14>62

4w > 48

w > 12

A destroyer on patrol spots an aircraft at an altitude of 10,000 ft and an angle of elevation of 20⁰. How far is the aircraft fr

Reika [66]

$sin= \frac{opp}{hyp} \\\\sin (20) = \frac{10000}{hyp}\\\\hyp= \frac{10000}{sin(20)} \\\\hyp= 29238 ft$

The aircraft is 29238 ft from the ship

Note: this is based on my assumption that we are looking for the hypotenuse.

If we are looking for the adjacent side, then the answer would be 27475 ft.

Write down the coordinates of the image of the point (2-3) under reflecting about the line joining the points (3, 5) and (3,7)

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

(4 , -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

the points (3 , 5) and (3 , 7) have the same x-coordinates 3

then ,the line D joining them has the equation

D : x = 3

the image of the point A(2 , -3) under reflecting about The line D ,

lie on the line ∆ perpendicular to D and passes through A.

∆ perpendicular to D then the equation of ∆ is :

∆ : y = a ,where a is a real number.

Calculating ‘a’ :

∆ passes through A

Then

-3 = a

Therefore

the final equation of ∆ is :

∆ : y = -3

Obviously, the lines D and ∆ intersect at the point M(3 , -3)

FINAL STEP :

Calculating the coordinates of the point B(x , y) image of the point A(2 , -3)

M is the midpoint of the line segment AB :

Then

3 = (2 + x)/2 and -3 = (-3 + y)/2

Then

x = 4 and y = -3.
