When a man walks 5m towards east and turns right and moves 12m the magnitude of his displacement is 13m how?
It is down to trigonometry. You have two parts of a triangle, so you are looking for the length of the last line. As the man turned right, there will be a right angle in the triangle. As we have two sides, the 12m and 5m, using Pythagoras theorem we can work out the length of the last side. The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the other two sides. 12 x 12 = 144. 5 x 5 = 25. 144 + 25 = 169. 13 x 13 = 169. So the length of the other side is 13.
The foot of a ladder is placed 5 feet from a building the top of the ladder rests 12 feet up on the building how long is the ladder?
13 feet
Find the reciprocal of the complex number 3 plus 2i Give your answer in the usual a plus bi form?
It is 3/13 - 2/13*i
What is sin M written as a simplified fraction?
5/13
How old do you have to be to get a tragus piercing?
You only have to be 13 but at 13 you need a parent.All piercings hurt to some degree. For me, the tragus was just a pinch and then afterwards, there was a burning sensation for about an hour. Everyone is different though.
What is the cos of angle a if the opposite is 5 the adjacent is 12 and the hypotenuse is 13?
It is: cos^-1(12/13) = 22.61986495 degrees
What is the cos of angle a 5 13 12?
It is: cos = adj/hyp and the acute angles for the given right angle triangle are 67.38 degrees and 22.62 degrees
What is cos of angle a with a hypotenuse of 13 and adjacent of 5 and a opposite of 12?
It is about 67 degrees
What is the complement of an angle whose measure is 13 degrees?
The complement of an acute angle A is the angle 90° - A. The complement of 13° is 77°.
What is the sin of angle A 5 13 12?
The dimensions given fits that of a right angle triangle and sin^-1(12/13) = 67.38 degrees
What is the length of missing side b in the triangle 7cm and 13 cm?
It might be pythagoras therom but it can only be Pythagoras when the traingle has a right angle. If it does then try to work it out using phythagoras. If the angle between the given sides is B, then: b2 = a2 + c2 - 2ac cos B ⇒ b2 = (7 cm)2 + (13 cm)2 - 2 x 7 cm x 13 cm x cos B ⇒ b = √(218 - 182 cos B) cm If it is a right angle triangle, with B the right angle, cos B = cos 90o = 0 and this becomes Pythagoras making the side: b = √218 cm ≈ 14.76 cm If there is a right angle, not between the 7 cm and 13 cm, then the 13cm side is the hypotenuse (as the hypotenuse must be the longest side) and the other side is: b = √(132 - 72) cm = √120 cm ≈ 10.95 cm
Does 51213 form a right angle?
If you mean 5 by 12 by 13 then they will form a right angle triangle
What is the exact ratio of all 6 trig functions when p is a point on a circle at 5 -12?
sin = -12/13 cos = 5/12 tan = -5/12 cosec = -13/12 sec = 12/5 cotan = -12/5
What is the measurement of angle B in the triangle when the hypotenuse is 13 the opposite side is 12 and the adjacent side is 5?
You have not indicated which side the angle is opposite of. Can us law of cosines then by calling sides c and a. b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2(a)(c) cos(B) I would arbitrarily have to assign values you have not given me.
How do you calculate cos squared theta equals one minus twelve thirteenths squared?
Writing x instead of theta, cos2x = 1 - (12/13)2 = 1 - 144/169 = 25/169 = (5/13)2 So cos(x) = ± 5/13 so that x = cos-1(5/13) or cos-1(-5/13) And then, depending on the range of x, you have solutions for x. A calculator will only give you the principal solutions, though.
What Angle A of triangle SAM is a right angle. If SM 13 mm and MA 12 mm determine the length of segment SA.?
If the right angle is at A then SA = 5 mm.
