Answer:

140/221.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle containing  angle α:

The adjacent side is -√(13^2-5^2) = -12.

For the triangle containing angle β:

Hypotenuse = √(-8)^2 + (15)^2) =  17.

cos(α - β) = cos α  cos β   + sin α   sin β

= ((-12/13) * (-15/17) + (-5/13)* (8/17)

= 180/221 + - 40/221

= 140/221.

Center (2,8) radius 3
velikii [3]
I’m not sure what this question is asking, but I’ll write an equation of this circle you are describing. Here, the x coordinate of the center is h, the y coordinate is k, and radius is r in the equation : (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, meaning the equation in this situation is the following: (x-2)^2+(y-8)^2=9

Find the value of x <br> (5x+12) (3x+8) <br> a 10 <br> b 15 <br> c 20 <br> d 25
Montano1993 [528]
(5x+12)+(3x+8)=180 combine likes terms 5x+3x=8x 12+8=20 rewrite
8x+20=180 subtract 20 from both sides 180-20=160 rewrite 8x=160 then divide 8 from both sides 160/8=20 rewrite X=20, so C is your answer
