The correct option is B which is the value of PG is 3 units.

Given

The scale factor of the dilation of segment HG is 1/6.

If PG' equals 0.5 units,

<h3>What is the scale factor?</h3>

The scale factor is a measure for the identical shapes, which look identical but have various scales or measures.

The scale factor of the dilation of segment HG is 1/6.

By the rule of scale factor;

\rm \dfrac{PG'}{PG}= SF = \dfrac{1}{6}

Where SF represents the scale factor.

Solving for PG, we get:

\rm \dfrac{PG'}{PG}=\dfrac{1}{6}   \\\\ \dfrac{0.5}{PG} = \dfrac{1}{6}\\\\ 0.5 \times 6= 1\times PG\\\\ PG = 3

Hence, the value of PG is 3 units.

Given: cosθ= -4/5 , sin x = -12/13 , θ is in the third quadrant, and x is in the fourth quadrant; evaluate tan 1/2 θ
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant.  But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off.  Hmm...

Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{sin\theta}{1+cos\theta}

There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.  

If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5.  That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3.  Filling in our formula:

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{1+(-\frac{4}{5}) } which simplifies a bit to

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{5}{5} -\frac{4}{5} }  and a bit more to

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{1}{5} }

Bring up the lower fraction and flip it to divide to get

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=-\frac{3}{5}*\frac{5}{1} which of course simplifies to

-3.  Choice A.

A 20-foot ladder leaning against a wall is used for each a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the
zlopas [31]
We know that the building must form a right angle with the ground, so the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance the ladder is from the building.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We know that the ladder is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.
a^2 + b^2 = 20^2
Substitute the length of the other side and solve.
a^2 + 17^2 = 20^2
a^2 + 289 = 400
a^2 = 111
The distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder is the square root of 111 or approximately 10.5357 feet

Find the total surface area of this cone. Round to the nearest tenth.
leva [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

for given cone:

h = 3 ft, r = 3 ft

Let l be the Slant height of cone.

\therefore \: l =  \sqrt{ {h}^{2}  +  {r}^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {3}^{2} +  {3}^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{9 + 9}  \\  =  \sqrt{2 \times 9}  \\   \therefore \: l= 3 \sqrt{2}  \: ft \\  \\ total \: surface \: area \: of \: cone \\  = \pi \: r(l + r) \\  = 3.14 \times 3(3 \sqrt{2}  + 3) \\  = 9.42 \times 3( \sqrt{2}  + 1) \\  = 28.26 \times (1.414 + 1) \\  = 28.26 \times 2.414 \\  = 68.21964 \\  \approx \: 68.2 \:  {ft}^{2}
