Using trig ratios: sine, cosine, and tangent, you set up equations based on the parts of the triangles that are given or needed.
sin = opp/hyp
cos = adj/hyp
tan= opp/adj


Based on the picture a is the hypotenuse, b is the opposite, and 17 is the adjacent side in relation to angle 36 degrees.

To find a, which is the hyp and we have the adjacent, we will use cosine.
cos 36 = 17/a
to solve multiply both sides by a.
a* cos36 = 17
divide both sides by cos 36
a = 21

To find b, which is opposite, and we have adjacent, we will use tangent.
tan 36 = b/17
multiply both sides by 17
17 * tan 36 = b
b = 12.4

Solve the linear system of equations using addition. Graph the equations to verify your solution. required.
zhenek [66]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

infinite solutions

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Add the two equations.

... (-4x) + (y) = (y +3) +(-4x -3)

Add 4x -y to both sides.

... -4x +y +4x -y = -4x +y +4x -y

... 0 = 0 . . . . . true for all values of x (or y)

Both equations describe the same line.

_____

The graph shows the first equation as a red line. The second equation is shown using a "blue dot" texture, so you can see it overlays the red line.

500 cats were chosen. 52% of the cats liked to sleep inside the house. Fish was the favorite dish of 25% of those cats, while 62
Alex777 [14]
You would need to take 500 * .52 = 260 next take 260 * .25 to find how many cats like fish which equals 65, the probability that it likes fish and it sleeps inside can be found by taking .52 * .25 = .13 so there would be a 13% chance of picking a cat that sleeps indoors and likes fish, 435 cats dont like fish found by taking 500-65=435 and finally to find how many cats sleep outside take 500-260=240 then take 240 * .625 = 150 then 240-150 = 90 so 90 cats like to sleep outside and like fish thats it!=) Hope this helps!
