The team moved the ball -3 yards per play.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total yards lost = 12 yards

Total plays = 4 plays

As the yards are lost, therefore, we will use negative sign.

Yards per play = $\frac{Number\ of\ yards}{Number\ of\ plays}$

Yards per play = $\frac{-12}{4}$

Yards per play = -3

The team moved the ball -3 yards per play.

Given \tan A = \frac{7}{{24}}, find the cos B

Natali5045456 [20]

We are given

$tan(A)=\frac{7}{24}$

we know that

$tan(A)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

so, we get

opposite =7

adjacent=24

now, we can find hypotenuse

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{7^2+24^2}$

$hypotenuse=25$

now, we can draw triangle and then switch vertices accordingly

we can find cos(B) using second triangle

$cos(B)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

In second triangle:

adjacent=7

hypotenuse =25

so, we get

$cos(B)=\frac{7}{25}$ ................Answer
