$cox^4x-sin^4x=2cos^2x-1\\\\
(cosx^2-sin^2x)(cosx^2x+sin^2x)=2cos^2x-1\\\\
cosx^2-sin^2x*1=2cos^2x-1\ \ \ | subtract\ 2cos^2x\\\\
-cosx^2-sin^2x=-1\ \ \ | multiply\ by\ -1\\\\
cosx^2+sin^2x=1\\\\
1=1$

A shooting star forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun, as shown below:

frez [133]

The positions of the sun, earth and shooting star form a right angled triangle, where distance between earth and sun is 'y', and the angle 'x°' is given

Now, in a right angled triangle using trigonometry, we can determine a side of the triangle is one of the sides and one of the angles is known

Here, if we use cos x = $\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$ we can determine the distance between the shooting star and the sun. This can be done because we know that the base is 'y', the angle is x° and the hypotenuse represents the distance between the sun and the shooting star

Note: cos values for each x are definite.

M is the incenter of triangle ABC. Find the lengths of MD and DC. (Look at pic)

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Part 1) $MD=9\ units$

Part 2) $DC=12\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the length of MD

we know that

The incenter is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the three vertices of the triangle. Is the point forming the origin of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

In this problem

$MD=ME=MF$ ------> is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the triangle
