Find the value of sin(a/2) if cosa= 12/13​

Mathematics
1 answer:
daser333 [38]2 years ago

Answer: sin\frac{a}{2} = ± \frac{1}{\sqrt{26} }

Step-by-step explanation:

We very well know that,

cos2A=1−2sin²A

⟹ sinA = ±\sqrt{(1-} \frac{cos2A}{2} )

As required,  set A = \frac{a}{2}   &   cos a=  \frac{12}{13}    ,thus we get

sin \frac{a}{2} =± \sqrt{\frac{1-cos a}{2} }  

∴ sin\frac{a}{2} =±\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{12}{13} }{2} } = ± \frac{1}{\sqrt{26} }

   since ,360° < \frac{a}{2} <450°

             ,180° < \frac{a}{2} <225°

Now, we are to select the value with the correct sign. It's is obvious from the above constraints that the angle a/2 lies in the III-quadrant where 'sine' has negative value, thus the required value is negative.

hope it helped!

The map of a walking trail is drawn a coordinate grid with three points of interest. The trail starts at R(-3,2) and goes to S(2
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

R(-3,2)

S(2,2)

T(2,-5).

The total length ;

Distance between two points : √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

Distance between R and S :

R = (-3,2)

S(2,2)

√[((2 - (-3))^2 + (2 - 2)^2]

Sqrt(5^2 + 0^2)

D1 = 5 units

Distance between S and T:

S(2,2)

T(2,-5).

D2 = √[(2 - 2)^2 + (-5 - 2)^2]

D2 = sqrt(0^2 + (-7)^2)

D2 = 7 units

Hence, total length = D1 + D2 = (5 + 7) = 12 units

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

£116.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Nar donated to 4 charities last year. She gave £175 to each of these charities.

The total amount Nar donated is;

Nar = 4 × £175 = £700

For Rana to donate the same amount equally among 6 charity, to determine the amount each charity would receive this year, we need to divide the total amount by the number of charities;

A = £700/6

A = £116.67
