\tt{ Hey \: there , \: Mr.Panda \: ! } ;)

♨\large{ \tt{ E \: X \: P \: L \: A \: N \: A \: T \: I\: O \: N}}:

⤻ Before solving the given question , you should know the answer of these questions :

✺How do you find the hypotenuse , perpendicular and base when the angle ( \theta \: , \alpha  \:  ,\beta ) is given ?

⇾ The longest side , which is the opposite side of right angle is the hypotenuse ( h ). There are two other sides , the opposite and the adjacent. The naming of these sides depends upon which angle is involved. The opposite is the side opposite the angle involved and it is called the perpendicular ( p ) . The adjacent us the side next to the angle involved ( buy not the hypotenuse ) and it is called the base ( b ).

☄ \large{ \tt{REMEMBER}} :

  • \bf{ \sin \theta =  \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}  =  \frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}  }

  • \bf{ \cos\theta =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}  =  \frac{base}{hypotenuse}  }

  • \bf{ \tan \theta =  \frac{opposite}{adjacent}  =  \frac{perpendicular}{base}  }

In the above cases , \theta is taken as the angle of reference.

♪ Our Q/A part ends up here! Let's start solving the question :

❈ \large{ \tt{GIVEN}} :

  • Perpendicular ( p ) = ? , Hypotenuse ( h ) = 18 & base ( b ) = 16

✧ \large{ \tt{TO \: FIND} : }

  • Value of tan \theta

✎ \large{ \tt{SOLUTION}} :

Firstly , Finding the value of perpendicular ( p ) using Pythagoras theorem :

❃ \boxed{ \sf{ {h}^{2}  =  {p}^{2}  +  {b}^{2} }} [ Pythagoras theorem ]

\large{ ⇢ \sf{p}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {h}^{2} }

\large{⇢ \sf{ {p}^{2}  =  {h}^{2}  -  {b}^{2} }}

\large{ ⇢\sf{ {p}^{2}  =  {18}^{2}  -  {16}^{2} }}

\large{⇢ \sf{ {p}^{2}  = 324  - 256}}

\large{⇢ \sf{ {p}^{2}  = 68}}

\large{⇢ \sf{p =  \sqrt{68}}}

\large{ ⇢\sf{p =  \boxed{ \tt{2 \sqrt{17}}} }}

Okey, We found out the perpendicular i.e \tt{2 \sqrt{17}} . Now , We know :

❊ \large{ \sf{ \tan \theta} =  \frac{perpendicular}{base} }

\large {\tt{↬ \: tan \theta =  \frac{2 \sqrt{17} }{16}}}

\large{ \tt{ ↬ tan  \theta =  \frac{ \cancel{2} \:  \sqrt{17} }{ \cancel{16} \:  \: 8} }}

\large{ \tt{ ↬ \boxed{ \tt{tan \theta =  \frac{ \sqrt{17} }{8}}}}}

⟿ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{OUR\: FINAL \: ANSWER : \boxed{ \underline{ \bf{ \frac{ \sqrt{17} }{8}}}}}}}

۵ Yay! We're done!

♕ \large\tt{RULE \: OF \:SUCCESS }:

  • Never lose hope & keep on working ! ✔

ツ Hope I helped!

☃ Have a wonderful day / evening! ☼

Answer:

√(17)/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with hypotenuse and base. We can have any ratio related to it, such as secant.

secA = hypotenuse/base

secA = 18/16 = 9/8

sec²A = 81/64

Using sec²A - 1 = tan²A

=> 81/64 - 1 = tan²A

=> 17/64 = tan²A

=> √(17)/8 = tanA

______________________

Using cosine of angle A.

cosA = base/hypotenuse

cos²A = (16/18) = (8/9)² = 64/81

sin²A = 1 - cos²A = 1 - 64/81 = 17/81

Hence,

tanA = √(tan²A) = √(sin²A/cos²A) = √((17/81)/(64/81)) = √(17)/8

This looks complex, either go with the 1st or one Or directly find the value of height using Pythagoras theorem,

18² = 16² + height²

√17 = height

tanA = height/base = √17/8

A kangaroo hops 2 kilometers in 3 minutes. At this rate, how long does it take the kangaroo to travel 5 kilometers?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer: 7.5 minutes (7 min 30 sec)

Step-by-step explanation: If it takes it 3 minutes to travel 2 km, it would take it 1.5 minutes to travel 1 km. So, 1.5 * 5 = 7.5, meaning it would take it 7.5 min to travel 5 km.

Tank A has a capacity of 9.5 gallons. 6 1\3 gallons of the tank"s water are poured out. How many gallons of water are left in th
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:  Since 1/3 can't be turned into a decimal, change .5 into 1/2. In order to subtract, the fractions need a common denominator. The least common denominator is 6. So 1/3 turns into 2/6, and 1/2 turns into 3/6. Now you need to take 9 3/6 minus 6 2/6. The answer is 3 1/6 gallons of water.

There are 40 markers in a bag. Of the 10 scented markers, 6 are permanent markers. Half of the unscented markers are erasable.
Mice21 [21]
For this case we have:
 10 scented markers: Column 1, row 3.
 6 are permanent markers: Column 1, row 1
 Half of the unscented markers are erasable: (1/2) * 30 = 15 Column 2, row 2.
 Therefore, the selected table corresponds to the attached image.
 Answer:
 
See attached image.
