Explain the meaning of the expression tan 32°= 0.624

Answers

Answer 1

The meaning of the expression tan 32°=0.624 is the adjacent side of ratio is 0.624m.

What is ratio?
the ratio is the number that can be used to express one is  quantity as a fraction of the  other ones. The two of  numbers in a ratio can only be compared when they have the same unit. We are  make use of ratios o compare two things.

Sol- let's take an example first

In a triangle  abc

C is 32°

tan 32° = AB/BC =0.624m

By applying the theorem we know that

In a right triangle , tan 32° is the ratio of the constant to the adjacent side the ratio is

0.624 m.

It is to be noted that by the proof given below, the attached shape ABCD is a kite.

What is a kite in Euclidean Geometry?

A kite is a quadrilateral having reflection symmetry across a diagonal in Euclidean geometry. A kite has two equivalent angles and two pairs of adjacent equal-length sides as a result of its symmetry.

The proof is as follows:

AB = AD [Given]

∠ADC = 115°   [Angles on a Straight line]

That is 180 - 65 = 115°

∠BCD = 20°    [Vertical Angles are equal]

∠ABC = (360 - (20+115+110))

= 115°              [Angles in a quadrilateral]

Hence,

ABCD = Kite    [Definition of  a Geometric Kit]

That is

It two equivalent angles (∠ABC and ∠ADC)It also has two pairs of adjacent equal-length sides (that is  |AD| ≈ |AB|.

Renting a roller rink for your birthday costs $300​ plus $9​ per person. The total charge for your party was $534​. Translate this information into an equation using x​ to represent the number of guests at your party.

Answers

The equation using x to represent the number of guests at your party is 300 + 9x = 534

What is an equation?

A mathematical equation is the statement that illustrates that the variables given. In this case, two or more components are taken into consideration to describe the scenario.

Let x represent the number of guests at your party.

Here, renting a roller rink for your birthday costs $300 plus $9 per person. This will be:

300 + 9x = 534

Collect like terms

9x = 534 - 300

9x = 234

Divide

x = 234 / 9

x = 26

The number of guest is 26.

a 17 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. if the top slips down the wall at a rate of 2 ft/s, how fast will the foot be moving away from the wall when the top is 13 feet above the ground?

Answers

The foot will be moving at a rate of 2.373 ft/s away from the wall when the top is 13 feet above the ground.

From the question, we have the following;

Hypotenuse=17 foot

Height(y)=13 feet

Base(x)=(17^2-13^2)^1/2

        =120^1/2 or sqrt(120)

The ladder against the wall is a right angle triangle, so we have:

x^2+y^2=17^2

x^2+y^2=289

Top slips down at 2ft/s

dy/dt=-2 ft/s, where height (y)=13ft

The foot will be moving horizontally(x), along the x axis, to find how fast the foot will be moving, we find dx/dt

Now, we take the derivative with respect to time:

=x^2+y^2=17^2

=2x(dx/dt)+2y(dy/dt)=0

Substitute the known values, y=13, x=sqrt(120), z=17, dy/dt=-2 ft/s

2(sqrt(120))(dx/dt)+2(13)(-2)=0

2(sqrt(120))(dx/dt)-52=0

We solve for dx/dt:

dx/dt=52/(2sqrt(120))

dx/dt=52/21.9089

dx/dt=2.373 ft/s

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x + 6y = 18 and passes through the point (10,7)

Answers

Answer:

y = ( 6 / 5 )x - 5;

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular Line Theory

y = - ( 1 / m )x + c;

Algebra

Convert dual intercept to standard form.

5x + 6y = 18;

Subtract 5x from both sides.

6y = - 5x + 18;

Divide both sides by 6.

y = ( - 5x + 18 ) / 6;

y = ( - 5x / 6 ) + ( 18 / 6 );

y = ( - 5 / 6 )x  + 3;

Get the perpendicular line.

y = ( 6 / 5 )x + c;

Substitute the point.

7 = ( 6 / 5 )( 10 ) + c;

7 = 12 + c;

Subtract 12 from both sides.

- 5 = c;

c = - 5;

y = ( 6 / 5 )x - 5;

What is an inequality?

In mathematics, inequalities characterize the connection between two non-equal numbers. Inequality means being unequal. If two values are not equal, we use the "not equal symbol". However, various inequalities are employed to compare the numbers, whether they are less than or higher than.

An inequality in mathematics is a relationship that makes a non-equal comparison between two integers or other mathematical expressions. It is most commonly used to compare two numbers on the number line based on their size. In the illustration above, there's a less than sign. This means that it's an inequality.

$4 for every 10 copies.

How to figure out:

Divide 4/10 = .4    .4 is the cost per copy.

We do this because if it is 4 dollars per 10 copies, then we have to figure out the cost per copy. So we have to do how many dollars goes into each copy.

Now we know the cost of one copy we can multiply the amount of copies we need by the price of one.

75 x 0.4 = 30     30 is the price of 75 copies.

You have 8 times as many dimes as nickels. You have 18 dimes and nickels altogether how much money do you have in all?

Answers

For the given condition of dimes is 8 times of nickel and there are 18 dimes and nickels altogether, then total money is equal to $1.

As given in the question,

Let x be the number of dimes

Then number of nickels are 8x.

As per given condition,

Total number of dimes and nickels = 18

⇒ x + 8x = 18

⇒ 9x = 18

⇒ x= 2

Number of dimes =2

Number of nickels = 8(2)

                             = 16

Conversion:

1 dime = 0.10$

1 nickel = 0.05$

Total amount of money in dollars

= 2 ×(0.10) + 16× (0.05)

= 0.20 + 0.80

= 1.00

Therefore, for the given condition of dimes is 8 times of nickel and there are 18 dimes and nickels altogether, then total money is equal to $1.

A salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where he has two options for being paid option a is an early wage of $19 option B is a commission rate of 8% sales how much does he need to sell in a given week to earn the same amount with each option

Answers

The salesperson needs to make weekly sales of $9,500 to earn the same amount with each option.

The amount he earns by option A can be calculated as follows;

As he works 40 hours per week and the hourly wage is $19; therefore the amount he will earn can be determined by multiplication as follows;

Option A earning: 40 × 19 = $760

Thus, the salesperson earns $760 through option A.

Consider x to be the amount of weekly sales;

As the commission rate is 8% of sales therefore 8% of x should be equal to $760 for the salesman to earn the same amount with both options.

(8/100)x = 760

0.08x = 760

x = 760 / 0.08

x = 9,500

Hence the salesman needs to make weekly sales of $9,500 to earn the same amount with both options.

How to estimate the approximate range of the current?

The current is defined as rate of flow of charge I = dq/dt

Let the equation be [tex]$q=\int i d t$[/tex]

Given: I(t) = 10 cos(120πt - 12π) + 5

We will substitute it in the above equation

q = [tex]$$\int[/tex] 10 cos(120πt - 12π) + 5 dt

Apply the Sum Rule:

[tex]$\int f(x) \pm g(x) d x=\int f(x) d x \pm \int g(x) d x$[/tex]

substitute the values in the above equation, we get

[tex]$=\int_{0.1}^{60} 10 \cos (120 \pi t) d t+\int_{0.1}^{60} 5 d t$[/tex]

simplifying the equation,

[tex]$\int_{0.1}^{60} 10 \cos (120 \pi t) d t=0[/tex]

[tex]$\int_{0.1}^{60} 5 d t=299.5$[/tex]

At the start of a trip, a car's gas tank contains 12 gallons of gasoline. During the trip, the car consumes 10 gallons of gasoline. How much gasoline is left in the tank? Should you represent this amount with a positive or negative value? Why?

Answers

How much gasoline is left in the tank?

If the tank contains 12 gallons and then the car consumes 10, we can know how much gasoline is left by substracting 12 with 10:

12 - 10 = 2

Then, 2 gallons of gasoline is left in the tank

Since there is still gasoline because 12 is higher than 10, then we represent this amount with a positive value.
