given cos theta = -5/12, where theta is greater than 0 and less than 360 degrees, in which quadrant would the terminal arm lie?
Two spotlights, one blue and the other white, are placed 6.0 m apart on a track on the ceiling of a ballroom. A stationary observer standing on the ballroom floor notices that the angle of elevation is 45 degrees to the blue spotlight and 70 degrees to the white one.
How high, to the nearest tenth of a metre, is the ceiling of the ballroom?
4.4 m
