Answer:
sin A = 15/17
sec A = 17/8
Step-by-step explanation:
15 cot A = 8
First get cot A alone.
cot A = 8 / 15
Since cot is the reciprocal of tan then flip 15 and 8.
tan A = 15 / 8
Now you have the opposite and adjacent sides, just find the hypotenuse with Pythagorean's theorem
15^2 + 8^2 = 289
= 17
Now that you have all the sides use the opposite and hypotenuse to get sine and the adjacent and hypotenuse to get cosine then flip to get secant.
sin A = 15/17
cos A = 8/17
sec A = 17/8
<u>Let's consider the facts at hand</u>:
- By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
- ∠BEC = ∠DFC
- Sides BE = DF
<u>Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar</u>
⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem
⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC
⇒ the two triangles are similar
Hope that helps!
<em>Definitions of Theorem I used:</em>
- <u><em>Vertical Angle Theorem: </em></u><em>opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal</em>
- <u><em>Angle-Angle Theorem:</em></u><em> if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar</em>

Answer:
I think its D
Step-by-step explanation:
It is between A&D but it just depends on if it says equal to or not and if not then it's D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of its areas is equal to
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
In this problem the scale factor is equal to the ratio 10:3
Let
z-------> the scale factor
so
z2=(10/3)2=100/9
