SOH CAH TOA tells you

... cos(B) = a/c

... 4/5 = 8/c

... c = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5c/4

By the Pythagorean theorem,

... b = √c² -a²) = √(10² -8²) = √36 = 6

The lengths of the other two sides are: b = 6, c = 10.

_____

You can tell from the value of the cosine that this is a 3-4-5 right triangle. You can tell from the value of "a" that the scale factor is 2. That means the other two sides are 6 and 10.

raketka [301]

Answer:

n = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(n+9)=15

Distribute -3 to (n+9):

-3n - 27 = 15

Add 27 to both sides:

-3n = 42

Divide both sides by -3:

n = -14
