let's recall that on the IV Quadrant the x/cosine is positive and the y/sine is negative, and of course the hypotenuse is just a radius unit and therefore never negative.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-7}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{15}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{15^2-(-7)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{176}=a\implies \stackrel{\textit{IV Quadrant}}{+\sqrt{176}=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{\sqrt{176}}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{15}}~\hfill

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Up/to left or right rule to help you

Find a start point (or the one the gave you (3,2)) and then follow the line to the next point that crosses exactly over where to points cross (where poth x and y would be whole numbers) count how many times the point moved up, then how many time it moved left. Put the first over the second in fraction form and there is your slope.

I don't get the subject of congruent triangles. How do I figure out if there's not enough information to know if it is congruent
babymother [125]

Answer:

Okay, there are many ways to find if a triangle is congruent.

Let's start with some different terminology.

For the sake of simplicity let us say that S stands for when a side is congruent for both triangles and A stands for when an angle (<) is congruent between both the triangles as well.

So, you need to memorize some rules. If you find that 2 triangles are congruent in the sense of; SSS, SAS, AAS, SAA, and ASA. One thing to remember is that Angle Side Side isn't congruent and is called <em>Donkey Theorem</em>. This theorem only works for right triangles.

One way to know if your triangle isn't congruent is if you can find a part of the triangle that is different.

I know that wasn't the best explanation but I hope it helped anyhow. :)
