This is a 3-4-5 triangle.

Remember, 
SOH-CAH-TOA

S(ine) =  O(pposite)/H(ypotenuse)
C(osine) = A(djacent)/H(ypotenuse)
T(angent) = O(pposite)/A(djacent)

In Cosine, the adjacent = 3, and the Hypotenuse = 5

Hypotenuse is the longest side. 

3,4,5 is the triangle that fits inside, therefore, the Opposite is 4, and Adjacent is 3

T(angent) = O(pposite)/A(djacent)

Plug in the numbers

T = 4/3

tan = 4/3 is your answer

hope this helps

So cosФ = 3/5 means that ratio of length of adjacent side to length of hypotenuse side is 3:5

So then we can assume adjacent side is 3 and hypotenuse is 5.

By Pythagoras<span>' </span>Theorem, we have √(5² - 3²) = 4, so then length of opposite side would be 4.

Now tanФ is ratio of length of opposite side to length of adjacent side, which would be 4/3.

Final answer: 4/3

Hope this helps.

2 x<br>— = -----<br>7 x + 10<br><br>x = ???​
valentina_108 [34]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe you want to find x such that ...

  2/7 = x/(x +10)

  2(x +10) = 7x . . . . . . multiply by 7(x+10)

  20 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify

  4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can almost solve this "by inspection" if you recognize the difference of the denominator and numerator is 5 on the left and 10 on the right. If you multiply the fraction on the left by 2/2, you get 4/14, the values in x/(x+10) in the fraction on the right.

Many of you will live to the year 2100, which is not a leap year. Not all years which are divisible by 4 are leap years. A cente
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

For example, the years 1600, 2000, and 2400 are century leap years since those numbers are divisible by 400, while 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, and 2300 are common years despite being divisible by 4.
