I'm only going to alter the left hand side. The right side will stay the same the entire time
I'll use the identity tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) and cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)
I'll also use sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y) and cos(x+y) = cos(x)cos(y)-sin(x)sin(y)
So with that in mind, this is how the steps would look:
tan(x+pi/2) = -cot x
sin(x+pi/2)/cos(x+pi/2) = -cot x
(sin(x)cos(pi/2)+cos(x)sin(pi/2))/(cos(x)cos(pi/2)-sin(x)sin(pi/2)) = -cot x
(sin(x)*0+cos(x)*1)/(cos(x)*0-sin(x)*1) = -cot x
(0+cos(x))/(-sin(x)-0) = -cot x
(cos(x))/(-sin(x)) = -cot x
-cot x = -cot x
Identity is confirmed
Answer:
4.6 = x the side opposite C would be 6.1
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use law of sine
you know you have a right triangle so the missing angle B = 49
4/sin41=x/sin49
Answer:
The width of the rectangle is 14'8", and the length is 33'4"
Step-by-step explanation:
We're given two pieces of information:
The length is eight more than twice the width:

The perimeter is 96 feet:

We also need to apply one more piece of information that is not provided here, and that is the relationship between the perimeter of a rectangle, and it's length and width:

We can solve for w by plugging the other two values into the last:

Now we can find the length by plugging w into the first equation:

One third of a foot is four inches, so the width is 14'8" and the length is 33'4"
To make sure our answer is correct, we should plug those numbers back into the area equation and see if we're right:

So we know our answer's correct
