Trig ratios can only be used on right triangles with acute measures.

If given an angle and there are adjacent and opposite sides, then use tan(opposite/adjacent)

If given an angle and there is an adjacent side and a hypotenuse, then use cosine(adjacent/hypotenuse)

If given an angle and there is an opposite and adjacent side, then use sin(opposite/hypotenuse)

A common mnemonic device used to memorize the trig rules is SOH-CAH-TOA

Find the length of CU, the triangles are similar.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

CU = 117

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{WC}{WU}$ = $\frac{CD}{UV}$

substituting in values to the ratios

$\frac{26}{36x-1}$ = $\frac{24}{132}$ ( cross- multiply )

24(36x - 1) = 3432 ( divide both sides by 24 )

36x - 1 = 143 ( add 1 to both sides )

36x = 144 ( divide both sides by 36 )

x = 4

CU = 36x - 1 - 26 = (36 × 4) - 27 = 144 - 27 = 117

What is the slope of a line with endpoints at (3,4) and (2,5)?

Lesechka [4]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-4}{2-3}\implies \cfrac{1}{-1}\implies -1$
