Answer:

b = 159 m

a = 103 m

angle B is 57 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s start with getting the measure of angle B

Mathematically, since we have a right triangle , we have to subtract the given angle from 90 to get the other acute angle

So we have the measure of B as;

90-33 = 57 degrees

To get the value of a, we use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

a faces the angle 33, that makes it an opposite to that angle

190 faces the right angle and that makes it the hypotenuse

Mathematically , the relationship between the two is that trigonometrically, they are related by the sine which is the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

so, we have it that;

sine 33 = a/190

a = 190 * sine 33

a = 103 m

to get b, it is adjacent to the given angle

So with the hypotenuse, the ratio between it and the hypotenuse is the cosine

so;

cos 33 = b/190

b = 190 * cos 33

b = 159 m

I added a picture with it for you. I suggest that before this becomes an issue you take some time and study box and whisker plots, because they tend to show up on a lot of standardized math tests.

The terminal side of an angle in standard position passes through P(15, –8). What is the value of sine theta? sine theta = fifte
Pavlova-9 [17]

The value of sine theta = negative eight-seventeenths ⇒ 2nd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the quadrant of an angle its terminal side passes through a given point

  • If the given point is (x , y), then the angle lies in the 1st quadrant
  • If the given point is (-x , y), then the angle lies in the 2nd quadrant
  • If the given point is (-x , -y), then the angle lies in the 3rd quadrant
  • If the given point is (x , -y), then the angle lies in the 4th quadrant

∵ The terminal side of angle Ф passes through P (15 , -8)

∵ x = 15 and y = -8

- P is (x , -y), then the angle Ф lies in the 4th quadrant

∵ The terminal side of angle Ф is the hypotenuse of a right

   triangle whose horizontal leg is 15 units and vertical leg

   is -8 units

- Use Pythagoras Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse

∴ Hypotenuse = \sqrt{(15)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}=17 units

∵ sinФ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

∵ The side opposite to Ф is -8

∵ The hypotenuse is 17

∴ sinФ = \frac{-8}{17}

The value of sine theta = negative eight-seventeenths

(Geometry HELP) The perimeter of WXY is ___ cm?
jeka57 [31]
I hope this helps you



QR=WS=2.93



RS=QW =2.04


QS=XR =2.28


RS=XQ=2.04



SY=QR =2.93


RY=QS =2.28


XY=XR+RY=2.28+2.28=4.56


XW=XQ+QW=2.04+2.04=4.08


WY=WS+SY=2.93+2.93=5.86


Perimeter of XYW=XW+WY+XY


Perimeter of XYW=4.08+5.86+4.56


Perimeter of XYW =14.5
