Hello there,

Okay, Let's start with RS. So what I did was I subtracted (3x-4)-(4x+1) and the reason I did that was because (4x+1) equal's the whole length. And sense I dont know the length of RS yet. . . I will use the other length to find out. So when you calculate those both. Your correct answer is (x+5).

RS= x=5

Hope this helps.

Given right triangle MNL what is the value of cos(M)?

FromTheMoon [43]

Step $1$

<u>Find the length of the side MN</u>

we know that

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$ML^{2} =NL^{2} +MN^{2}$

Solve for MN

$MN^{2}=ML^{2} -NL^{2}$

in this problem

$ML=25\ units\\ NL=15\ units$

Substitute in the formula above

$MN^{2}=25^{2} -15^{2}$

$MN^{2}=400$

$MN=20\ units$

Step $2$

<u>Find the value of cos (M)</u>

we know that

in the right triangle MNL

$cos (M)=\frac{adjacent\ side\ angle\ M}{hypotenuse}$

$adjacent\ side\ angle\ M=MN=20\ units\\ hypotenuse=ML=25\ units$

Substitute

$cos (M)=\frac{20}{25}$

$cos (M)=\frac{4}{5}$

$cos (M)=0.8$

therefore

The answer is

The value of cos(M) is equal to $0.8$

Every weekday, Mr. Jones bikes from his home to his job. Sometimes he rides along two roads, the long route that is shown by the

notka56 [123]

Answer:

(A)6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.

$Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\17^2=a^2+15^2\\a^2=17^2-15^2\\a^2=289-225\\a^2=64\\a^2=8^2\\a=8$ km$

Therefore:

Distance along the long route = 8 + 15 =23 km

Distance along the shortcut =17 km

Difference =23-17 =6km

Therefore, Mr. Jones bikes 6km less when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route.
