Answer:
angle 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the trigonometric mnemonic SOH CAH TOA, we know that cos or cosine is the ratio between the adjacent side and hypotenuse side.
This means that if cos A = 0.48, A is the measure of the angle which it's relative adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle will be around 0.48.
Let's try angle 2, cos (angle 2) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 7.8 / 8.9 = 0.876404494382 ≈ 0.87 ≠ 0.48. Since the proportions are not equal, this angle cannot be the one marked as A.
Since angle 3 is a right angle, the adjacent could be either side so it cannot be correct. Thus angle 1 is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>A^2 + B^2 = C^2 </h2>
A and B are the legs of the triangles.
C is the hypotenuse.
12^2 + x^2 = 20^2
144 + x^2 = 400
-144 -144
x^2 = 256
x = 16
The length of the second leg is 16.

Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
If
then triangle PXY is isosceles triangle. Angles adjacent to the base XY of an isosceles triangle PXY are congruent, so

and

Angles 1 and 3 are supplementary, so

Angles 2 and 4 are supplementary, so

By substitution property,

Hence,

Consider triangles APX and BPY. In these triangles:
- given;
- given;
- proven,
so
by ASA postulate.
Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, then

Therefore, triangle APB is isosceles triangle (by definition).
