If tan a = 9/40use trigonometric identities to find the values of sin a and cos a.​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]2 years ago

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

tan a = \frac{9}{40} = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

We require the hypotenuse h

Using Pythagoras' identity

h² = 9² + 40² = 81 + 1600 = 1681 ( take square root of both sides )

h = \sqrt{1681} = 41 , thus

sin a = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{9}{41}

cos a = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{40}{41}

Name The postulate or theorem you can use to prove the triangles congruent
Zielflug [23.3K]
The answer is HL. HL is a theorem stating that if the hypotenuse and one leg are congruent to another pair of hypotenuse and leg then the triangles themselves are congruent. Hope this helps.

Y = 5x + 7<br> 2x + y = -5<br> Are the equations parallel,<br> perpendicular, or neither?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Lines are neither perpendicular nor parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In equation 1, Y = 5X + 7

In equation 2,  Y = -2X -5

Step 2:

Slope Intercept form Y =mX +c

Where m = Slope

Slope of line 1 = 5

Slope of line 2 = -2

m1  is not equal to m2. Hence it is not parallel.

m1  × m2 is not equal to -1. Hence they are not perpendicular.
