\textit{Half-Angle Identities}\qquad tan\left(\cfrac{\theta}{2}\right)= \begin{cases} \pm \sqrt{\cfrac{1-cos(\theta)}{1+cos(\theta)}} \\\\ \cfrac{sin(\theta)}{1+cos(\theta)}~~\leftarrow \textit{let's use this one} \\\\ \cfrac{1-cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)} \end{cases} \\\\\\ 2\cdot \cfrac{\pi }{12}\implies \cfrac{\pi }{6}~\hspace{10em} \cfrac{~~ \frac{\pi }{6}~~}{2}\implies \cfrac{\pi }{6}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{\pi }{12}

so let's use the double of the angle in the half-angle identities, check the picture below for the cosine, sine pairs

tan\left( \cfrac{~~ \frac{\pi }{6}~~}{2} \right)=\cfrac{sin\left( \frac{\pi }{6} \right)}{1+cos\left( \frac{\pi }{6} \right)}\implies tan\left( \cfrac{~~ \frac{\pi }{6}~~}{2} \right)=\cfrac{~~ \frac{1}{2}~~}{1+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}

tan\left( \cfrac{~~ \frac{\pi }{6}~~}{2} \right)=\cfrac{~~ \frac{1}{2}~~}{~~\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}~~}\implies tan\left( \cfrac{~~ \frac{\pi }{6}~~}{2} \right)=\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{2}{2+\sqrt{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill tan\left( \cfrac{~~ \frac{\pi }{6}~~}{2} \right)=\cfrac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}~\hfill

Suppose you did a survey of male shoes size and the mean of that survey was size 10 with a standard deviation of 1.5. What is th
astra-53 [7]
Given:
Population mean,  μ = 10
Population standard deviation, σ = 1.5
Random variable, x = 11.

By definition, the z-score is
z = (x - μ)/σ
   = (11 - 10)/1.5
   = 0.667

Answer: 0.667

These are congruent. What is the measurement of E?
oee [108]

Answer:

m<E = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

If the figures are congruent, therefore their corresponding angles would also be equal to each other.

Thus, angle K corresponds to angle E.

Since m<K = 44°, therefore,

m<E = 44°
