Answer:
sin A = 15/17
sec A = 17/8
Step-by-step explanation:
15 cot A = 8
First get cot A alone.
cot A = 8 / 15
Since cot is the reciprocal of tan then flip 15 and 8.
tan A = 15 / 8
Now you have the opposite and adjacent sides, just find the hypotenuse with Pythagorean's theorem
15^2 + 8^2 = 289
= 17
Now that you have all the sides use the opposite and hypotenuse to get sine and the adjacent and hypotenuse to get cosine then flip to get secant.
sin A = 15/17
cos A = 8/17
sec A = 17/8
Answer:
The answer is 21 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the equation Xf = Xo + vt
1) At 1:00 PM, child one leaves the starting point heading north at a constant velocity of 6 mi/hr or .1 [mi/min] (divide by 60 to convert from [mi/hr] to [mi/min])
2) He walks for 15 minutes before kid 2 starts walking. In 15 minutes he is able to cover 1.5 [mi]
3) Now, child 2 starts walking and we know that when the range reaches 3 miles, they won´t be able to communicate. So the sum of the final position of child 1 and child 2 must be 3[mi]
4) Sum the equations and equate to 3
5) Substitute the values we already know
6) in 15 + 6 minutes they will be 3miles apart
7) In 21 minutes they will still be able to communicate with one another.
