Answer:
a)
b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Polar coordinates are represented as: , where 'r' is the length (or magnitude) of the line, and '
' is the angle measured from the positive x-axis.
in our case:
to covert the polar to cartesian:
we can plug in our values:
the Cartesian coordinates are:
(b) to convert (x,y) = (6.06,-3.5)
we'll use the pythagoras theorem to find 'r'
the angle can be found by:
to convert radians to degrees:
writing in polar coordinates:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity in ΔABC
AC² = 20² - 12² = 400 - 144 = 256, hence
AC = = 16
Now find AD² from ΔACD and ΔABD
ΔACD → AD² = 16² - (20 - x)² = 256 - 400 + 40x - x²
ΔABD → AD² = 12² - x² = 144 - x²
Equate both equations for AD², hence
256 - 400 + 40x - x² = 144 - x²
-144 + 40x - x² = 144 - x² ( add x² to both sides )
- 144 + 40x = 144 ( add 144 to both sides )
40x = 288 ( divide both sides by 40 )
x = 7.2 → C
