1/2 because 36 is half of 72. You could also divide the numbers by 12 and you will get 3/6 which is the same as 1/2.
The original expression is given by:

The correct way to rewrite the expression is given by:

For this, we use two properties:
Associative property:
The way of grouping the factors does not change the result of the multiplication:
Commutative property:
The order of the factors does not vary the product:
If<span> the degree </span>measure<span> of </span>two<span> complementary </span>angles<span> are in the ratio of </span>1<span>:14, ... These are similar to complementary </span>angles<span>, except </span>their<span> sum is </span>180<span> degrees. ... </span>1<span> = </span>angle 3<span>, (because they are vertical </span>angles<span>), </span>then<span> the </span>measure<span> of </span>angle 3<span> = y - 5.</span>
Answer: 6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
I know that in a triangle, there's two angles that have equal measures, then the sides opposite to them are equal in length. Thus, the length of side AB is 6 units.
Remark
pi/4 is between 0 and pi/2 which means that pi/4 is in the first quadrant.
5*pi / 4 is between pi and 3/2 pi which means that the angle is in the third quadrant.
So you are talking about one two angles that are in the first and third quadrants.
Step One
Find the Tangent of pi/4 using the unit circle as a reference.
Since pi/4 is 1/2 way between 0 and pi/2 you are referring to something that has and x value of 0.707 for an x value and 0.707 for a y value. (They are equal)
That is the point where the opposite / adjacent = 0.707/0.707 = 1
Step Two
Find the tangent of 5pi/4 using the unit circle.
Using the same argument as pi/4 this time the opposite / adjacent = -0.707/-0.707 = 1 ( the two minus signs cancel out.)
