X is the smaller number. 3x + 15 is the larger number. So x + 3x + 15 = 63. 4x + 15 = 63.
4x = 48. x = 12. (Smaller number) The larger 36 + 15 or 51.

To solve this we will write an equation to describe the situation.
(For some fun let us use (Apple) to represent the smaller number, and (Pineapple) for the big number)

Basically what the question is telling us is:
 (apple) + (pineapple)  = 63

Now we need to know what and (apple) and (pineapple)   are.
(pineapple) = 15 more than 3x the smaller number = 3(apple)   +  15
(apple): nothing special to do to it so it is just (apple)

Now we can replace (pineapple)  with what we calculated above. (pineapple) = 3(apple)  +  15

This means (apple)  + (3(apple)  + 15) = 63

  (apple) + 3(apples)  is simply 4(apples) 

So, the equation is now 4(apples)
  + 15 = 63

Now lets solve for (apple)  .
4(apple)  + 15 = 63
4(apple)  = 63 - 15
4(apple) = 48
(apple)= 48 ÷ 4

(apple) = 12
Voila! Now we know what (apple) is, but we still need to find (pineapple)  .

Remember how  (pineapple)  = 3(apple)   +  15 ?
We know (apple)  = 12 so plug in 12 for (apple)  to find out what (pineapple)   is.

  (pineapple) = 3(12) + 15
  (pineapple) = 36 + 15
  (pineapple) = 51

Now just to check: (apple)   +  (pineapple) should equal 63
Does 12 + 51 = 63? YES! so this answer is correct.

The two numbers you are looking for are:
apple = smaller number = 12
pineapple = bigger number = 51

Evaluate the six trigonometric functions of the angle 0.
Arturiano [62]

Given:

Right triangle

To find:

The six trigonometric functions of θ

Solution:

Hypotenuse = 18

Adjacent side to θ = 10

Opposite side to θ = ?

Using Pythagoras theorem:

\text {Hypotenuse}^2 = \text{adjacent}^2+\text{opposite}^2

18^2 =10^2+\text{opposite}^2

324=100+\text{opposite}^2

Subtract 100 from both sides.

224=\text{opposite}^2

Taking square root on both sides.

4\sqrt{14}=\text{opposite}

Using trigonometric ratio formula:

$\sin\theta =\frac{\text{opposite }}{\text{hypotenuse}}

$\sin\theta =\frac{4\sqrt{14} }{18}

$\csc\theta =\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite }}

$\csc\theta =\frac{18}{4\sqrt{14} }

$\cos \theta=\frac{\text { adjacent side }}{\text { hypotenuse }}

$\cos \theta=\frac{10}{18}

$\sec \theta=\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { adjacent side }}

$\sec \theta=\frac{18 }{10}

$\tan \theta=\frac{\text { opposite side }}{\text { adjacent side }}

$\tan \theta=\frac{4\sqrt{14} }{10}

$\cot \theta=\frac{\text { adjacent side }}{\text { opposite side }}

$\cot \theta=\frac{10}{4\sqrt{14} }
