A special kind of triangle is a right triangle whose definite characteristic is having a 90° angle. It is also special because there are derived trigonometric formulas/identities that can be applied to it. A right triangle has three sides: hypotenuse, adjacent side and opposite side. The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle. You can determine this visually, if not, quantitatively. The other sides are with respect to a given angle.
For the problem, it might have asked for the opposite side or the hypotenuse. We use the cosine function to find the hypotenuse:
cos 58° = adjacent/hypotenuse = 4/hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 7.55 units
Then, we use the tangent function to find the opposite side.
tan 58° = opposite/adjacent = opposite/4
opposite = 6.4 units
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
9 - (a - 7)
Note that - = -1
First, distribute - 1 to all terms within the parenthesis
-1(a - 7) = -a + 7
9 - a + 7
Combine like terms
9 + 7 = 16
-a + 16, or A. 16 - a is your answer
hope this helps
5x-2=3x+8
X=5
That's your answer
Answer:
Not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the negative in the parentheses. It basically multiplying everything inside by -1.
add like terms
Not equivalent since the 6x is positive
