Answer:

A) \frac{3\sqrt{91} }{91}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right triangle, we need to find the missing side AC using the Pythagorean theorem.

The theorem said that the sum of the square of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Here hypotenuse AB = 40, one side BC = 12

AC^2 + BC^2 = AB^2

Now plug in the given values and find the missing side AC.

AC^2 + 12^2 = 40^2

AC^2 + 144 = 1600

AC^2 = 1600 - 144\\AC^2 = 1456

Taking square root on both sides, we get

AC =4√91

Now we have to find the tanA.

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Here Opposite side = BC and Adjacent side AC of angle A.

Therefore,

tanA = BC/AC

tanA = \frac{12}{4\sqrt{91} }

Since we have radical in the denominator, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by √91, we get

tan A = \frac{12*\sqrt{91} }{4\sqrt{91}\sqrt{91}  }

tan A = \frac{3\sqrt{91} }{91}

AC = √(40²-12²) = √(1600-144) = √1456 = 4√91

tanA = 12/4√91 = 3/√91 = 3√91/91

Yo sup??

The two triangles are similar by AAA property ie

Angle Angle Angle property

Let us name the two triangles as ABC and DEF

By observing the figure

mB=mE=90   (right angled triangle)

mA=mD   (parallel lines property)

mC=mF    (parallel lines property)

Therefore by AAA the two triangles are similar .

The diagram is given below.

Evaluate 3x - 4y + 11 for x = -2 and y = -1
katrin [286]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in -2 for x, and -1 for y, and solve:

3x - 4y + 11

3(-2) - 4(-1) + 11

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, multiply. Remember, that when you multiply:

2 positive signs will result in a positive answer.

1 positive & 1 negative will result in a negative answer.

2 negative will result in a positive answer.

3 * -2 = -6

-4 * -1 = 4

-6 + 4 + 11 = 9

9 is your answer.
