Here is the formula of sin cos tan :

sin x = opposite/hypotenuse

cos x = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan x = opposite / adjacent

d = hypotenuse

x = the angle known in your pic

like example if in your picture:

adjacent = 26.5

if want to find the d

cos x = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 56 = 26.5 / d

d = 26.5 : cos(56)

d = 47.390 (3 significant figures)

and if want to find the opposite

tan x = opposite/adjacent

tan 56 = opposite/ 26.5

opposite = 26.5 × tan(56)

opposite = 39.288

-> Sorry if im wrong

<h3>Answer:  d = 47.3897287242421 approximately</h3>

Round this however you need to

=================================================

Explanation:

The reference angle is 56 degrees. The side 26.5 is adjacent to this angle as it is the leg closest to the angle (in contrast to the opposite leg or opposite side that is furthest from the reference angle)

The hypotenuse is d. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The longest side is always opposite the largest angle of a triangle.

We will use the cosine ratio as it is the ratio of adjacent over hypotenuse

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(56) = 26.5/d

d*cos(56) = 26.5

d = 26.5/cos(56)

d = 47.3897287242421

You use your calculator for the last step shown above. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. Round that value however you need to.

Which angles are vertical angles in the figure shown? Select two answers.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are formed when you make lines make an  x shape (or a turned x shape).  The vertical angles are, on a normally positioned x the top and bottom angle, as well as the left and right angle.  so every x has 2 vertcial angles unless the x is further split up.

So the part with angles 1. 2. 3 and 4 the top angle is 2, the bottom is 3, the left angle is 1 and the right angle is 4.  This means the vertical angle pairs are 1 and 4 as well as 2 and 3.

So in total there are 2 x shapes, so 4 pairs of vertical angles.  Here are all the vertical angles.

1 and 4

2 and 3

5 and 8

6 and 7

So from your choices you have 2 and 3 as choice B and 5 and 8 as choice C.
