Please help. i have no clue how to do this please give any tips :)
1 answer:
Answer: 36.25°
Step-by-step explanation:
Use SOHCAHTOA (sin, cosine and tangent)
SOHCAHTOA:
SOH: Sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
CAH: Cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
TOA: Tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
When you have an angle that you want to solve, look at what information you're given. In this problem, we're give nthe sides that are opposite to and adjacent to the angle we want to solve. So, we use TAN.
And just as a note, θ this symbol is called theta, and it represents an angle.
TAN(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent = 11/15
Then, use the inverse of tan (you can find the button on a calculator). You can use the inverse of sine, cosine or tangent whenever you want to switch them from one side of the equation to the other.
TAN(θ) =
θ =
Then, using a calculator, solve. The answer is about 36.25°

1) Substituting into point-slope form, the equation of the line is y-6=⅓(x-3), which rearranges to:
- y-6 = ⅓x - 1
- y = ⅓x + 5
So, we can now substitute in the coordinates of each of the options to see which point lies on the line.
- 3 = ⅓(6) + 5 -> 3 = 7, which is false.
- 6 = ⅓(7) + 5 -> 6 = 22/3, which is false.
- -3 = ⅓(-3) + 5 -> -3 = 4, which is false.
- 3 = ⅓(-6) + 5 -> 3 = 3, which is true.
So, the answer is (4) (-6, 3)
2) Substituting into point-slope form, the equation of the line is y - 5 = ¾(x-2), which rearranges to:
- y - 5 = 0.75x - 1.5
- y = 0.75x + 3.5
So, we can now substitute in the coordinates of each of the options to see which point lies on the line.
- 8 = 0.75(6)+3.5 -> 8 = 8, which is true.
- 9 = 0.75(5) + 3.5 -> 9 = 7.25, which is false.
- 1 = 0.75(-1) + 3.5 -> 1 = 2.75, which is false.
- 2 = 0.75(6) + 3.5 -> 2 = 8, which is false.
So, the answer is (1) (6, 8).
