Sin x = 0.5
sin x = 1/2
sin x = opp/hyp
therefore the ratio of opp/hyp = 1/2, (opp = 1, hyp = 2)
Find the opp side
1² + x² = 2²
1 + x² = 4
x² = 4 -1
x² = 3
x =√3
The opp side is √3
cos x = opp/hyp = √3/2 = 0.87 (round to the nearest hundredths)
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation: 5 23 8 03
the lenght of the longer leg of a right triangle is 9 ft longer than the lenght of the shorter leg x. The hypotenuse is 9 ft shorter than twice the lenght of the shorter leg.
shorter leg = x
longer leg = x + 9
hypotenuse = 2x - 9
Pythagorean theorem = a² + b² = c²
shorter-leg² + longer-leg² = hypotenuse²
x² + (x+9)² = (2x - 9)² solve for x
x² + (x+9) (x+9) = (2x - 9)(2x - 9)
x² + (x²+18x+81) = (4x² - 36x + 81)
(2x²+18x+81) = (4x² - 36x + 81)
0 = 2x² -54x
0 = x(2x - 54)
0 = x and 0 = 2x -54
54 = 2x
27 = x
shorter leg = 27
longer leg = 36
hypotenuse = 45
divided all the values by 9 and you get a 3, 4, 5 right triangle, so the answer checks correct
Y=2/3x
The y-intercept is zero, and the slope is 2/3
