Answer:

a=2(s-5)

a(your age): 20

Step-by-step explanation:

a stands for your age

s stands for sister

a=2(s-5)

1-substitute 15 for s a=2(15-5)

2- a=2(10)

the 15-5 stands for sisters age minus five which gives you brothers age, 10. You multiply it by two because your brother is half your age.

3-a=20

check your work:

because your brother is 10 and you are 20, he is half your age (10/20 can be simplified to 1/2)

Hope this helped, if you have any other questions please lmk!

part 2. Find the value of the trig function indicated, use for that Pythagorean theorem to find the third side if you need it.​
andreev551 [17]

Answer:  \bold{5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 6)\ \tan \theta =\dfrac{8}{17}\qquad 7)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{4}{3}\qquad 8)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}

<u>Step-by-Step Explanation:</u>

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c²  , <em>where "c" is the hypotenuse</em>

5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{3\sqrt{11}}{18}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}

Note: (15)² + (3√11)² = hypotenuse²   →   hypotenuse = 18

6)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{8}{17}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{8}{17}}

Note: 8² + 15² = hypotenuse²   →   hypotenuse = 17

7)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite to}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{20}{15}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{3}}

Note: hypotenuse not needed for tan

8)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{2}{2\sqrt{10}}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}

Note: 2² + 6² = hypotenuse²   →   hypotenuse = 2√10

(PLEASE HELP!!!) Ian tosses four fair coins and writes down all the possible outcomes. After creating the sample space for his e
I am Lyosha [343]
The correct order is:
the probability of heads on 2nd and 4th toss only; 
the probability of at least 3 tails in a row; 
the probability of 3 or more heads;
the probability of consecutive tails; and 
the probability of at least 2 tails.

There are 16 outcomes in the sample space.

There are 8 ways of having consecutive tails; this gives the probability 8/16.
There is 1 way of having heads on the 2nd and 4th toss only, making the probability 1/16.
There are 3 ways to have at least 3 tails in a row, making the probability 3/16.
There are 11 ways to have at least 2 tails, making the probability 11/16.
There are 5 ways to have at least 3 heads, making the probability 5/16.
