The diagram of the triangle is shown in the attached photo. The triangle is a right angle triangle ABC
Assuming the given angle is #,
Recalling the trigonometric ratio,
tan # = opposite / adjacent
If tan # = 4, it means
opposite / adjacent = 4/1
Therefore, opposite = 4 and adjacent = 1
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2
Hypotenuse = AC
Opposite = 4
Adjacent = 1
AC^2 = 4^2 + 1^2 = 17
AC = ± √17
To determine cos #, we would apply another trigonometric ratio,
Cos# = adjacent /hypotenuse
Cos# = 1/±√17
Cos # =-1 /√17 or 1/√17
Answer:
<h2>D. (42 - 2x)(32 - 2x) = 900</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Look at the picture.</em>
The dimensions of the picture:
(42 - 2x)in × (32 -2x)in
The formula of an area of a rectangle:
A = l · w
l - length, w - width
Substitute l = (42 - 2x), w = (32 - 2x) and A = 900
(42 - 2x)(32 - 2x) = 900
