Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

See below

Discussion:

This picture appears to be an application of the Pythagorean theorem. That is, the sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of he hypotenuse. Let's check this out.

Does

(leg1)^2 + (leg2)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2

5^2 + 5^2 = (5 sqrt(2)) ^ 2 ? => number from diagram

25 + 25 = 5 * 5 * (sqrt(2) ) ^ 2 => as (sqrt(2)) ^ 2 = 2

25 + 25 = 5*5*2 = 50 =>

50 = 50.

Indeed.

Note: this is an isosceles triangle as the base angles equal 45 degrees. It illustrates that in an isosceles triangle the length of the hypotenuse is the length of either leg times the sqrt(2)

Thank you,

MrB

What is the missing value , 2/3 and n/12

N=8
If you set 2/3 equal to n/12 then you multiple 3 by 4 to get 12. So you have to multiple 2 by 4 to get N.

Given that sinФ = 8/17 and cos Ф < 0:

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

1) The terminal side lies in quadrant 2

2) cosФ = -15/17

3) tanФ = -8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, we should realize that since sinФ = 8/17, it is positive. Thus, Ф must be in quadrants 1 or 2. And since cosФ is negative, Ф must be in quadrant 2 because cos, sin, and tan are all positive in quadrant 1

2) Next, we must realize that the sides given are a 8-15-17 right triangle. And in this case, since sinФ = 8/17, cosФ should be 15/17. But since cosФ is negative, cosФ = -15/17

3) Lastly, tanФ is opposite/adjacent. Since opposite of Ф is 8 and adjacent of Ф is 15, then tanФ should be 8/15, but since Ф is in quadrant 2, then tanФ is -8/15

Describe the diagram

Tasya [4]

Answer:

The diagram reprents the 3 sets and the universal set . The shaded portion clearly can be seen as :

$A \cap B \cap C + A - (A \cap B) - (A \cap C) + A \cap B \cap C + C - (C \cap B) - ( C \cap A) + (A \cap B \cap C)$
