You gotta put more information out buddy
Your triangle has acute angles X and Y, and right angle Z.
For an acute angle A in a right triangle:
The sine is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse.
sin A = opp/hyp
The cosine is the ratio of the adjacent leg to the hypotenuse.
cos A = adj/opp
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the right angle. It is the longest side of a right triangle. There is only one hypotenuse in a triangle, so there is no confusion with the hypotenuse.
The two sides that form the right angle are called the legs. Each leg is opposite an acute angle. The legs may or may not be congruent to each other, but each leg is always shorter than the hypotenuse. Since there are two legs, we need to be able to distinguish them. If you take an acute angle as your angle of interest, the leg that is part of the angle is called the adjacent leg. The other leg is the opposite leg. Adjacent leg and opposite leg are relative terms. They depend on the acute angle you are considering.
For your triangle, if you look at angle X, then the adjacent leg is side XZ. The opposite leg for angle X is side YZ.
Using the ratios mentioned above for sine and cosine, you get:
sin X = opp/hyp = sqrt(119)/12
cos X = adj/hyp = 5/12
I believe the correct number is 88.
Answer:
16 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the first step is to change years to months because the time periods are in different units. There are 12 months in 1 year. This means that the company sells 48 tons over 12 months. 4 months is the equivalent of 1/3 of 12 months. This means that we can find the amount sold in 4 months by dividing 48 by 3. 48/3 is 16. Thus, the steel company sells 16 tons in 4 months.
Another way to find the answer is to find the unit rate. The unit rate is how many tons are sold in 1 month. Find this by dividing 48 by 12 because this represents the sales of 1 month. 48/12=4, this means that in 1 month, 4 tons of steel are sold. Next, multiply 4 times 4 to find the amount of steel sold in 4 months. 4 times 4 also gives you the same answer of 16.
