Answer:
cos(θ) = 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can think of this situation as a triangle rectangle (you can see it in the image below).
Here, we have a triangle rectangle with an angle θ, such that the adjacent cathetus to θ is 3 units long, and the cathetus opposite to θ is 4 units long.
Here we want to find cos(θ).
You should remember:
cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
We already know that the adjacent cathetus is equal to 3.
And for the hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean's theorem, which says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, this is:
3^2 + 4^2 = H^2
We can solve this for H, to get:
H = √( 3^2 + 4^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5
The hypotenuse is 5 units long.
Then we have:
cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
cos(θ) = 3/5
Answer:
Option B is right
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in the graduating class of a certain college, 48 percent of the students are male and 52 percent are female. In this class 40 percent of the male and 20 percent of the female students are 25 years old or older.
Males Females
48% 52%
25 or more
age 40% 20%
One student in the class is randomly selected,
to find the probability that he or she will be less than 25 years old
= Prob (male and less than 25 years old)+Prob (female and less than 25 years old)
(since mutually exclusive and exhaustive)
=
After rounding off to 1 one decimal
we get 0.7
Option B is right
