The tangent of an angle is 3.4. what is the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

To answer this question, you first need to know what SohCahToa is.

S- opposite over hypotenuse

C- adjacent over hypotenuse

T- opposite over adjacent

In this situation, they have made it easier for you as they have given you the quotient of the opposite and adjacent sides (3.4) . Now in order to find an angle, you take the inverse of your expression. So instead of just Tan, you would plug in Tan^-1. So plug it in:

Tan^-1 (3.4)

Answer is 73.6 degrees.

Calculate the gradient of the line using rise/run method.

Lapatulllka [165]

Given:

The graph of line.

To find:

The gradient of the line using rise/run method.

Solution:

We know that the gradient of a line is also known as slope.

$Slope=\dfrac{Rise}{Run}$

Consider the two intercepts, then rise is distance between origin and y-intercept and run is the distance between origin and the x-intercept. But rise must be negative because the value of y decreased from 3 to 0.

$Rise=-3$

$Run=2$

Now,

$Slope=\dfrac{Rise}{Run}$

$Slope=\dfrac{-3}{2}$

The gradient of the line is $-\dfrac{3}{2}$ .

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park has a predictable eruption time. The park

prisoha [69]

Answer:How often does Old Faithful blow?

The world's most famous geyser, Old Faithful in Yellowstone, currently erupts around 20 times a day. These eruptions are predicted with a 90 percent confidence rate, within a 10 minute variation, based on the duration and height of the previous eruption.

Step-by-step explanation:

A total of 708 tickets were sold for the school play they were either adult tickets or student tickets there were 58 more studen

zhenek [66]

X = adult tickets and x+58 = student tickets

Create the equation from the problem.
x + x + 58 = 708

Combine like terms.
2x +58 = 708

Subtract 58.
2x = 650

Divide by 2.
x = 325

Therefore, your answer is:
there were 325 adult tickets sold.

(Adding 58 to that number will get you the student tickets sold which is 383 if they ask.)

Your family goes to a restaurant for dinner. There are 7 people in your family. Some order the chiken dinner for $ 12 dollars an

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The number of people who ordered steak dinner is 5

The number of people who ordered chicken dinner is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of people went for the dinner = 7

The total bill price for the dinner = $ 109

The price for the chicken dinner = $ 12

The price for the steak dinner = $ 17

Let The number of people who ordered chicken dinner = c

And The number of people who ordered steak dinner = s

Now, According to question

The total number of people went for the dinner = The number of people who ordered chicken dinner + The number of people who ordered steak dinner

Or, c + s = 7

And The total bill price for the dinner = The price for the chicken dinner × The number of people who ordered chicken dinner + The price for the steak dinner × The number of people who ordered steak dinner

Or, $ 12 × c + $ 17 × s = $ 109

Now, solving the equations

$ 12 × ( c + s ) = $ 12 × 7

Or, $ 12 × c + $ 12 × s = $ 84

Or, ( $ 12 × c + $ 17 × s ) - ( $ 12 × c + $ 12 × s ) = $ 109 - $ 84

Or , ( $ 12 × c - $ 12 × c ) + ( $ 17 × s - $ 12 × s ) = $ 25

Or, ( 0 ) + ( $ 5 s ) = $ 25

∴ s = $\frac{25}{5}$

I.e s = 5

So, The number of people who ordered steak dinner = s = 5

Put the value og s in Eq A

∵, c + s = 7

or, c = 7 - s

Or, c = 7 - 5

I.e c = 2

So , The number of people who ordered chicken dinner = c = 2

Hence The number of people who ordered steak dinner is 5

And The number of people who ordered chicken dinner is 2 Answer
