Answer:

14.18 units & 4.88 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle in this problem is shown in the attached image.

Using trigonometry, the adjacent leg would be 15 Cos 19°

and the opposite leg would be 15 Sin 19°

Thus,

one leg is 15 Cos 19 = 14.18 units, and

another leg is 15 Sin 19 = 4.88 units

Which expression is equal to 5/9

lesya [120]

Hello, There are endless expressions. Since, you multiply this fraction by a costant k / k

If k = 2

Then,

(5/9) = ( 5/9) × ( k / k)

= (5/9) × ( 2/2)

= (5 × 2 / 9×2)

= 10 / 18
________________

The only restriction for k is zero and the infinite. Because there is no "0/0" and "infinito/ infinito" at math.
