Answer:

cos ∅ = 80/89

Step-by-step explanation:

As required from the question the picture below represent a triangle UVW . The angle W = 90°. The sides WV = 39 , VU = 89 and UW = 80. The triangle forms a right angle triangle .

Such triangle one can establish trigonometric relationship using the SOHCAHTOA principle.

The question requested us to find the ratio that represent the cosine of  ∠U.

The ∠U is represented as ∅ .

Therefore,

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

adjacent = 80. The adjacent side is the non hypotenuse side that is next to the given angle.

hypotenuse = 89 . Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle and it opposite the right angle.  

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos ∅ = 80/89

While painting, Sam notices that 1/2 cup of paint covers 1/3 of a sign. What is the amount of paint needed to cover the entire s
Verdich [7]
To answer, determine the amount of paint that is needed in order to cover the whole of the sign. If we use the ratio and proportion and letting x be the unknown amount. The equation would be,
                          1/2  / 1/3 = x / 1
The value of x from the equation is equal to 1.5. Thus, the answer is letter D. 3/2 cups.

crimeas [40]

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of pupils are in the lower school

= (1- 1/5 - ¼) × 600

= (20/20 - 4/20 - 5/20)×600

= (11/20) ×600

= 330 pupils

A balloon is released from a height of 10 feet. The balloon climbs an additional 70% of its previous height as each minute passe
Ainat [17]
The initial height of the balloon is 10 feet which then increases by 70% to (10 ×1.7) = 17 feet, then to (17 × 1.7) =28.9 feet, and so fourth if the rate of increase is kept constant. Therefore, forming a geometric sequence such that to get any term in the sequence we use the formula ar∧(n-1), where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term in the sequence. In this case a is 10 and r= 1.7 , to get the height in the fourth minute it means n =5 (for the first term there is 0 minutes, such that for 0 minutes n= 1)
Thus, 10 × 1.7 ∧ 4 = 83.521 feet.
Therefore, the answer is 83.521 feet
