sin(x) = cos(x)

sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x) = 1

x = arctan(1) = 45 degrees

sin(45)=cos(45) = Sqrt(2)/2 Answer: By observation. Since Sine = Opposite over hypotenuse and Cosine = Adjacent over hypotenuse. Any right angle triangle where the opposite and adjacent sides are the same length will have Sine equal to Cosine. This only happens with an isosceles triangle (two sides are equal in length). When one angle is 90o the other two are 45o.

How do you find the length of the arc if r equals 9.234 mm beta equals 5 pi over 4?

It depends on which angle beta is: the angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle (assuming that it is a circle and not an ellipse or some other shape), otr the angle subtended by the chord and one of the radii. Basically, there is not enough information provided in the question to give a sensible answer.


What are examles of an obtuse angle?

An obtuse angle is an angle between (but not including) 90 and 180 degrees, so some obtuse angles would be 91 degrees, 179 degrees, and 142 degrees.

How do you solve sin2a - sin4a equals cos2a - cos4a?

Probably you should start by looking up the double-angle formulas, reducing the "4a" to some combination of "2a".

In parallelogram ABCD if angle A equals 5x plus 30 and angle D equals x find angle c?

In parallelogram ABCD, angle A and angle D are adjacent or consecutive angles and are supplementary, meaning the sum of their measures is equal to 180 degrees. Angles A and C are opposite angles and have the same measure. These are some important properties of parallelograms. So to find the measure of angle C, you first have to find the measure of angle A. You can do that with a little algebra. First, set the expressions for the measures of angles A and D equal to 180 and solve for x. Then plug that value for x into the expression for the measure of angle A, which is the same as the measure for angle C. 5x + 30 + x = 180 6x + 30 = 180 6x = 150 x = 25 Therefore, 5x + 30 = 5(25) + 30 = 125 + 30 = 155 The measure of angle C is 155.


How does the angle of attack affect the amount of lift?

Inclination Effects on Lift. As a wing moves through the air, the wing is inclined to the flight direction at some angle. The angle between the chord line and the flight direction is called the angle of attack and has a large effect on the lift generated by a wing.


How it can be proved that angle between two straight lines is equal to the angle between their normals?

If two lines have angles theta1 and theta2 relative to some third arbitrary line, then the angle between those two lines is theta1 minus theta2. The normal of a line at a point is a line that is 90 degrees from the line going through that point, so the angle between a line and its normal is 90 degrees. As a result, the angle between the two normals of those lines is (theta1 plus 90) minus (theta2 plus 90), which is the same as theta1 minus theta2 because the two plus 90's cancel each other.
