Given a regular hexagon, calculate each interior angle of the hexagon A. 60o B. 30o C. 120o D. 45o E. 135o
Show Content
Detailed SolutionSum of interior angles of polygon = (2n - 4)rt < ssum of interior angles of an hexagon (2 x 6 - 4) x 90o = (12 - 4) x 90o = 8 x 90o = 720o each interior angle will have \(\frac{720^o}{6}\) = 120o |

If x is jointly proportional to the cube of y and the fourth power of z. In what ratio is x increased or decreased when y is halved and z is doubled? A. 4:1 increase B. 2:1 increase C. 1:1 no change D. 1:4 decrease E. 3:4 decrease
Show Content
Detailed Solution\(x \propto y^{3} z^{4}\)\(x = ky^{3} z^{4}\) If y is halved and z is doubled, we have \(x = k (\frac{1}{2} y)^{3} (2z)^{4}\) \(x = k (\frac{y^{3}}{8}) (16z^{4})\)\) \(x = 2k y^{3} z^{4}\) \(\therefore \text{x is increased in the ratio 2 : 1}\) |

Given that cos z = L , whrere z is an acute angle, find an expression for \(\frac{\cot z - \csc z}{\sec z + \tan z}\) A. \(\frac{1 - L}{1 + L}\) B. \(\frac{L^2 \sqrt{3}}{1 + L}\) C. \(\frac{1 + L^3}{L^2}\) D. \(\frac{L(L - 1)}{1 - L + 1 \sqrt{1 - L^2}}\)
Show Content
Detailed SolutionGiven Cos z = L, z is an acute angle\(\frac{\text{cot z - cosec z}}{\text{sec z + tan z}}\) = cos z = \(\frac{\text{cos z}}{\text{sin z}}\) cosec z = \(\frac{1}{\text{sin z}}\) cot z - cosec z = \(\frac{\text{cos z}}{\text{sin z}}\) - \(\frac{1}{\text{sin z}}\) cot z - cosec z = \(\frac{L - 1}{\text{sin z}}\) sec z = \(\frac{1}{\text{cos z}}\) tan z = \(\frac{\text{sin z}}{\text{cos z}}\) sec z = \(\frac{1}{\text{cos z}}\) + \(\frac{\text{sin z}}{\text{cos z}}\) = \(\frac{1}{l}\) + \(\frac{\text{sin z}}{L}\) |
