The correct question is
The hypotenuse and one of the legs of a right triangle form an angle that has a cosine of √<span>2/2 .
What is the measure of the angle?
Let
</span>∅--------> the angle
cos ∅=√2/2<span>
cos </span>∅=[distance of one of the leg/hypotenuse]
[distance of one of the leg/hypotenuse]=√2/2
<span>I could say that
</span>distance of one of the leg=√2
and
hypotenuse=2
so
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
</span>c=hypotenuse=2
a=√2
b=?
c²=a²+b²-------> b²=c²-a²------> b²=2²-(√2)²-----> b²=2-----> b=√2
therefore
if a=b
then
the angle ∅=45°
the answer is the option
<span>b.45 degrees</span>
Answer:
30.7 km
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the two fires can be found using the Law of Cosines. For ΔABC in which sides 'a' and 'b' are given, along with angle C, the third side is ...
c = √(a² +b² -2ab·cos(C))
The angle measured between the two fires is ...
180° -(69° -35°) = 146°
and the distance is ...
c = √(11² +21² -2(11)(21)cos(146°)) ≈ √945.015
c ≈ 30.74
The straight-line distance between the two fires is about 30.7 km.
Intuitively, one would think the ball would land in the green spot 2 out of the 38 times, since there are 38 slots and 2 are green.
The probability that it lands in a green section is 2/38. Multiplying this by the number of times the experiment is performed, we get (2/38)(38) = 2.
