I suppose the / are absolute value lines.... so ill answer it that way, -(-2) simplifies to 2. -/-2/ simplifies to -2
If two similar triangles have side lengths 3cm and 7cm then we can determine that the scale factor for the lengths is: 7/3
Now, we have to work out the area scale factor !
This is simple, since area is given in cm² then all we have to do is square our original scale factor!
So,
7/3² = 49/9
So, we can say that the ratio of the area would be:
x : 49/9x

Answer: cos(Θ) = (√15) / 4
Explanation:
The question states:
1) sin(Θ) = 1/4
2) 0 < Θ < π / 2
3) find cos(Θ)
This is how you solve it.
1) Use the fundamental identity (in this part I use α instead of Θ, just for facility of wirting the symbols, but they mean the same for the case).

2) From which you can find:

3) Replace sin(α) with 1/4
=>

=>

4) Given that the angle is in the first quadrant, you know that cosine is positive and the final answer is:
cos(Θ) =

.
And that is the answer.
