There are 36 dogs in the shelter.

<h3>How to find the total number of dogs in the shelter?</h3>

The ratio of dogs to cats in the shelter is given as 9:15.

The total number of dogs and cats is given as 96.

Let the constant of proportionality be x.

The total number of dogs is 9x and the total number of cats is 15x.

This means that:

9x + 15x = 96

24x = 96

x = 4.

The total number of dogs in the shelter = 9 × 4

= 36

Therefore, we have found that there are 36 dogs in the shelter.

Your friend claims that it is possible to draw a right triangle where the cosine of either angle (theta) is exactly the same val

avanturin [10]

Answer:

B. No

$Cos \ \theta\neq Cos (90-\theta)\textdegree$

Step-by-step explanation:

-A right angle triangle has two complimentary acute angles and one right angle.

- $\theta$ is usually one of the acute angles and is equivalent to 90º minus it's complimentary acute angle.

-Complimentary angles add up to 90º.

#For complimentary angles:

$Sin \ \theta=Cos \ (90-\theta)\textdegree\\\\Cos \ \theta=Sin(90-\theta)\textdegree\\\\\therefore Cos \ \theta\neq Cos (90-\theta)\textdegree$

The two acute angles cannot have the same Cosine value.

Hence, she's not correct.
