What is the measure of angle ABD?

that purely depends on the given polygon and any information about it

Which shape has one pair of perpendicular sides but no parallel sides?

There are infinitely many polygons which have this property. The easiest to think of is a right triangle. But there are also quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc., that can be constructed that have this property.

Trigonometry help please?

If cos B is 5/13, find sin B, tan B, sec B, and cot B?

sin= y/r= 12/13
cos= x/r= 5/13
tan= y/x= 12/5
csc= r/y= 13/12
sec= r/x= 13/5
cot= x/y= 5/12

x2+y2=r2

When does cotangent equal -1?

cot[x]= -1

cot[x] = cos[x] / sin[x]

cos[x] / sin[x] = -1

cos[x] = -sin[x]

|cos[x]| = |sin[x]| at every multiple of Pi/4 + Pi/2. However, the signs disagree at 3Pi/4 + nPi, where n is an integer.

How do you find to sine of an angle?

To find the sine ratio of a right-angled triangle divide the opposite by the hypotenuse.

For example: 4/5 = 0.8 units and sine-1(0.8) = 53.13010235 degrees.

What is the law of sines and the law of cosines and how do they help solve a triangles' angles and sides?

In a triangle ABC, with side a opposite angle A, side b opposite angle B and side c opposite angle C,

the sine rule is: sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c

The cosine rule is: a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc*cos(A)

and, by symmetry,

b2 = c2 + a2 - 2ca*cos(B)

c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab*cos(C)

How do you simplify sin theta times csc theta divided by tan theta?

Since sin(theta) = 1/cosec(theta) the first two terms simply camcel out and you are left with 1 divided by tan(theta), which is cot(theta).

What does 2sin squared theta equal and why?

It is 2*sin(theta)*sin(theta) because that is how multiplication is defined!

What is cos of 2 theta?

cos(A + B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB, with A=B, cos(2A) = cos2A - sin2A, then you can use cos2A + sin2A = 1, to produce more, like: [2cos2A - 1] or [1 - 2sin2A], and others.

What is the cosine of phi?

phi = [(1+sqrt(5)]/2 = 1.6180, the golden ratio.

cosine(phi) = -0.0472 approx.

How is trigonometry used in search and rescue missions?

Often the distressed people may not know their exact location. However, if two or more stations pick up their distress signals then each station can determine the direction from which the signal came. Trigonometric calculations can determine the exact location of the point from which the distress signal was sent and a S&R team is sent off to that location.

Find the vertex and equation of the directri for y2 equals -32x?

y2 = 32x

y = ±√32x

the vertex is (0, 0) and the axis of symmetry is x-axis or y = 0

What is the application of 3-d snowflake in daily life?

They are used as decorative materials. And we use them as hangings during the Christmas seasons.

Hope u all have got some info,

Is a seven sided shape a polygon?

Yes, a seven sided figure, known as a "heptagon", has straight sides. As long as none of the sides are curved or doesn't connect, then it's a polygon.

i will end this with an epic smiley face of doom! :D

How do crime scene investigators use trigonometry?

Trigonometry is used in CSI in calculating bullet or other projectile trajectories, ballistics, analyzing what actually happened in automobile collisions, how objects fall from heights, and in many many other ways.
