It depends what your trying to get close to. If your trying to get close to a number that is easier to work with 1 4/8 is good because its the same as 11/2 but the closest whole number is 1.
m∠AOC = 108°
m∠AOC = 3m∠AOB
⇒m∠AOB = (m∠AOC) / 3 = 108 / 3 = 36°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The exact value of tan(M) is 5/12 ⇒ answer (C)
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise the trigonometry functions
- In ΔABC
# m∠B = 90°
# Length of AB = a , length of BC = b and length of AC = c
# The trigonometry functions of angle C are
- sin(C) = a/c ⇒ opposite side to ∠C ÷ the hypotenuse
- cos(C) = b/c ⇒ adjacent side to ∠C ÷ the hypotenuse
- tan(c) = a/b ⇒ opposite side to ∠C ÷ adjacent side to ∠C
* Now lets solve the problem
- In ΔONM
∵ m∠N = 90°
∵ MN = 12
∵ ON = 5
∵ tan(M) = ON/NM ⇒ opposite side of ∠(M) ÷ adjacent side of ∠(M)
∴ tan(M) = 5/12
* The exact value of tan(M) is 5/12
