Answer:
23.6°
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question we have to use some trigonometry to work out angle XVW. Since we are working out angles all of the trigonometric functions will have to be to the ⁻¹. The first thing we need to identify is will formula will we use out of the following:
Sin⁻¹ = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse
Tan⁻¹ = Opposite ÷ Adjacent
Cos⁻¹ = Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 = Hypotenuse
4 = Opposite
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We know which formula to use because the length won't be in the triangle for example we will be using the Sin triangle because we don't have an adjacent. If we don't have an adjacent then the other formula's won't work.
Now we substitute in the values to find the value of angle XVW
Sin⁻¹ = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse
Sin⁻¹ = 4 ÷ 10
The value of angle XVW is 23.57817848
Factors of 18: 1; 2; 3; 6; 9; 18
Factors of 27: 1; 3; 9; 27
GCF(18; 27) = 9
<span>18 + 27 = 9 × 2 + 9 × 3 = 9 × (2 + 3) </span>
So there is an identity we'll need to use to solve this:
cos(x+y) = cosxcosy - sinxsiny
replace the numerator with the right hand side of that identity and we get:
(cosxcosy - sinxsiny)/cosxsiny
Separate the numerator into 2 fractions and we get:
cosxcosycosxsiny- sinxsiny/cosxsiny
the cosx's cancel on the left fraction, the siny's cancel on the right fraction and we're left with:
cosy/siny - sinx/cosx
which simplifies to:
coty - tanx
