Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the three main trig functions are

sin = opposite / hypotenuse

cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan = opposite / adjacent

( opposite = side opposite of angle , hypotenuse = longest side and adjacent = other side )

Sin(55) = a/c as side a is opposite of the angle and c is the hypotenuse so D might be the answer

cos(55) would be b/c as the adjacent of that angle is b and the hypotenuse is c. B and C show the wrong ratios so B and C can't be the answer

tan(55) would be a/b as side a is opposite of the angle and b is the adjacent, A says c/a which is wrong

so we can conclude the answer is D

Answer:

x1=-4/5, x2=18/5 and x3=7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-3&-5\\3&1&2&4\\2&2&1&7\end{array}\right]$

you can do linear combination between the rows:

2nd row=R2-3R1 and 3th row=R3-2R1

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-3&-5\\0&1&11&19\\0&2&7&17\end{array}\right]$

3th row=(3R2-R3)/15

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-3&-5\\0&1&11&19\\0&0&1&\frac{7}{5} \end{array}\right]$

1st row=R1+3R3 and R2-11R3

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&0&-4/5 \\0&1&0&18/5 \\0&0&1&7/5\end{array}\right]$

x1=-4/5, x2=18/5 and x3=7/5

Answer:

x = 4 , y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine / tangent ratios in the right triangle and the exact values

sin60° = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ and tan60° = $\sqrt{3}$ , then

sin60° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{x}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

x $\sqrt{3}$ = 4 $\sqrt{3}$ ( divide both sides by $\sqrt{3}$ )

x = 4

and

tan60° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{y}$ = $\sqrt{3}$ ( multiply both sides by y )

y $\sqrt{3}$ = 2 $\sqrt{3}$ ( divide both sides by $\sqrt{3}$ )

y = 2
