Answer:

C. $cos^2A -sin^2A$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$cos2A$

To find:

The given expression is equivalent to:

A. $sin^2A-cos^2A$

B. $sin^2A+cos^2A$

C. $cos^2A -sin^2A$

D. $cosA-sinA$

Solution/Proof:

First of all, let us have a look at the compound angle formula for $cos(X+Y)$ .

Compound angle means in which there is sum of two angles given.

In the above we are having X+Y i.e. sum of two angles X and Y. So it is compound angle.

The compound angle formula for cosine is given as:

$\bold{cos(X+Y)=cosXcosY-sinXsinY}$

Here, let us put X = Y = A

$cos(A+A)=cosAcosA-sinAsinA\\\Rightarrow \bold{cos(2A)=cos^2A-sin^2A}$

So, cos2A is equivalent to $cos^2A -sin^2A$ .

Correct answer is:

Option C. $cos^2A -sin^2A$

Sharon drops a rubber ball from a height of 48 feet. Every bounce sends the ball half as high as it was before.What is the total

Viefleur [7K]

First hit it travels 48 ft
Second hit it travels 24 + 24 ft
third hit 12 + 12
4th hit 6 + 6 ft

Total = 48 + 48 + 24 + 12 = 132 ft Answer

Please help me prove that ED is congruent to BA! I thought I had it right by proving right and vertical angles, but I’m missing

Vikki [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\overline{DA} \text{ bisects } \overline{EB}$ is given

$\overline{BC} \cong \overline{EC}$ definition of <u>bisect</u>

<u /> $\overline{EB} \perp \overline{ED}, \, \overline{EB} \perp \overline{BA}$ are both given

<u /> $\angle B, \, \angle E \text{ are right angles}$ definition of perpendicular

$\angle B \cong \angle E$ because all right angles are congruent

$\angle{ACB} \cong \angle{DCE}$ vertical angles are congruent

$\triangle{ACB} \cong \triangle{DCE}$ ASA (angle-side-angle)

$\overline{ED} \cong \overline{BA}$ CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

A four sided sandbox has exactly 2 right angles to side lengths 5 feet what geometric shape as described shape of the sandbox

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The sandbox is most likely in the shape of a kite. As it has only two right angles, it cannot be a square or other form of rectangle. It also cannot be a parallelogram, which has no right angles, nor is it a rhombus- all four sides are not of the same length.

A kite, however, has two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other. It also has two sets of equal-measure angles, one of which can be 90° if it is a cyclic kite.
