X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
3y (y is the unknown number but it represents one number only... and also 3y represents 3 multiply by y)
Answer:
9 m³
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating the volume (V) of a cuboid is
V = depth × width × height
= 1.8 × 2.5 × 2 = 9 m³
Don’t even know sry bout that
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the pythagorean theorem, we know that a^2+ b^2=c^2
In our case, we know b, which is 5 and c which is 13.
If we plug that into the equation, we get a^2+ 5^2 = 13^2
Next, we simplify the equation. a^2 + 25 = 169
Then we subtract 25 from 169. 169 - 25 = 144.
Lastly, we do the square root of 144 and we get 12 which is the missing side.
