It depends how you name the sides of triangle.
Look at picture at the result.

$cos\alpha=\frac{12}{13}\\
cos\beta=\frac{5}{13}$

PS. Sorry for my terrible drawing but I did it as fast as possible :)

I thought of a number my number doubled is 20 greater than 200 what is my number

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Let the number be x.

x doubled is 2x, and 2x is 20 greater than 200. So, we have this:

2x = 200 + 20

2x = 220

x = 110.

a pharmacist mixes 5g of a powder with 45cm³ of water to make a prescription medicine. how much powder should she mix with 81cm²

den301095 [7]

Answer:

She should mix 9 g of powder

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can have a ratio for powder to water

we have 5 g of powder mixed with 45 cm^3 of water

So, for every 1 g, we have 5g/45 cm^3

we have 9 cm^3

So let’s relate this to the bigger water mix

Recall from above; we have the mixing as 1 g per 9 cm^2 of water

1g per 9 cm^2

x g per 81 cm^2

81 * 1 = x * 9

9x = 81

x = 81/9

x = 9g

Answer:

L= 0.83 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Width= 1.2 in when length = 1 in

Required

Determine the length when width = 1 in

First, we need to determine the ratio

Ratio = $\frac{Width}{Length}$

Ratio = $\frac{1.2}{1}$

Ratio = 1.2 ---(1)

Let the required length be represented with L

So:

Ratio = $\frac{Width}{Length}$

Ratio = $\frac{1}{L}$ ---(2)

Equate (1) and (2)

$\frac{1}{L}$ = 1.2

Multiply through by 1.2

L * $\frac{1}{L}$ = 1.2 * L

1 = 1.2 * L

Divide through by 1.2

L = $\frac{1}{1.2}$

L = 0.83 in (Approximated)
