Look at the triangle: A right angle triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to 17 centimeters. An acute angle of the triangle is

labeled as x degrees. The side adjacent to the acute angle has length 15 centimeters and the side opposite to the acute angle has length 8 centimeters. What is the value of cos x°?

Answer:

\frac{15}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure

Hypotenuse = AC = 17 cm

An acute angle of the triangle is labeled as x degrees.i.e.∠ACB = x

The side adjacent to the acute angle has length 15 centimeters i.e. BC = 15 cm

The side opposite to the acute angle has length 8 centimeters.i.e. AB = 8 cm

Now we will use trigonometric ratio

cos \theta  =\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

cos x  =\frac{BC}{AC}

So, cos x  =\frac{15}{17}

Hence the value of cos x° is \frac{15}{17}

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

standard deviation is 2.886 [expected points]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is number of points scored so that given target uniformly dstributed between 0 and 10

clearly X uniform(0,10)

mean is defined as E(x) = \frac{a+b}{2}

                                       \frac{0+10}{2} = 5

we know that variance is given as \frac{(b-a)^2}{12}

V(x) = \frac{(b-a)^2}{12}

       \frac{(10-0)^2}{12}

       = 8.333

therefore standard deviation is \sqrt{V(x)} = \sqrt{8.333}

standard deviation is 2.886 [expected points]
