Answer: 0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

CAH: cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cosine of angle w = 84/85 = 0.98823 ≈ 0.99

Angle Y is 90 degrees, meaning it's a right triangle. Therefore angle W is the top/tip of a triangle, while X is the angle next to Y. If you plug in the information afterwards and follow the trigonometry rule (SOH CAH TOA) you will find your answer.

Evaluate 3^2 + (5-2) X 4 - 6/3

muminat

Answer:

The result is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

$3^{2} + (5-2)x4 - 6/3$

Step 1: Parenthesizing (5-2)=3

$3^{2} + 3x4 - 6/3$

Step 2: Exponentiation $3^{2}=9$

$9 + 3x4 - 6/3$

Step 3: Multiplication and division 3x4=12 and 6/3=2

$9 + 12 - 2$

Step 4: Addition and subtraction 9+12=21, and 21-2=19

21-2

The operations are ordered from highest to lowest in the order:

1. Parenthesizing,

2. Factorial,

3. Exponentiation,

4. Multiplication and division,

5. Addition and subtraction.

Hope this helps!
