Where does Pythagorean identities and also how it relates to the right triangles

Mathematics

Answer:

The Pythagorean identities are

sin^{2} x + cos^{2} x = 1\\1+ tan^{2} x = sec^{2} x\\1 + cot^{2} x = csc^{2} x\\where\\csc x = \frac{1}{sinx} \\cot x = \frac{cosx}{sinx} or \frac{1}{tanx} \\tan x = \frac{1}{cotx} or \frac{sinx}{cosx} \\sec x = \frac{1}{cotx}

No matter what the value of x (the angle degree amount) is, sin²x+cos²x is equal to 1

When given a side length of a right triangle you will be able to use one of these identities to find the angle amount

Answer:

A pythagorean identity means that for any angle \theta, sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1.

This also means 1+tan^2\theta=sec^2\theta \mbox{ and } 1+cot^2\theta=csc^2\theta. The symbol, theta (\theta) represents one of the acute angles in the right triangle. The hypotenuse (familiarly c in the regular pythagorean theorem) is 1. The triangle base is cos\theta, and the height (side perpendicular to the base, making a right angle) is sin\theta. The angle theta is opposite the sin\theta side.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem applies to right triangles, which always have a 90 degree angle. Pythagorean identities are used to simplify trigonometric expressions/evaluate trig functions and to find the trig ratios in a right triangle.

Grayson has $300 in a savings account. The interest rate is 10% per year and is not compounded. How much interest will he earn i
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$180

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest for 1 year = 10% of $300

Interest for 6 years

= (10% × 6) of $300

= 60% of $300

= (60/100) × $300

= 60 × $3

= $180

So, he will earn $180 as interest in 6 years.

Find the distance between -2 1/2 and -5 3/4 on a number line
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert these numbers to a mixed fraction.

-5 3/4 => -23/4

-2 1/2 => -5/2

Make them have a common denominator

-5/2 => -10/4

-23/4 can stay the same.

To find the distance between the two numbers, subtract the lesser value from the greater value.

-23/4 is <u>less</u> than -10/4.

(-10 - (-23)) /4

= 13/4

Therefore the distance between -2 1/2 and -5 3/4 on a number line is 13/4.

Rectangle with side lengths of 1/2 ft. and 3/4 ft. What is the area and perimeter?
deff fn [24]
Perimeter: all the sides added together, so that would be 1/2+1/2+3/4+3/4, which is 2 and a half feet

Area: the two side lengths multiplied, so 1/2*3/4, which is 3/8 feet squared

What do you know about the scale factor for the dilation shown? Explain.
padilas [110]

We want to draw a conclusion about the scale factor for the dilation shown by only watching the given graph, the only conclusion we can take is that a scale factor is a number between 0 and 1. So we have a transformation that transforms the triangle ABC into the triangle A'B'C'.You can see that it is a dilation about the black dot seen in the given image, if the scale factor was a number larger than 1, then the dilated points would be further away from the black dot. But that is not the case, we can see that the images of the dilation are closer to the black dot, then this is not a "real" dilation, this is actually a contraction (where a contraction is a "dilation" of scale factor between zero and 1). Then the only thing that we can conclude with the given image is that the scale factor of the dilation shown is a number larger than 0 and smaller than 1.
