We are given that the angle a is the right angle. So let
us work from this.
ab = 12 (the vertical side of the triangle)
bc = 13 (which if drawn can be clearly observed to be the
hypotenuse) = the side opposite to angle a
ca = 5 (the horizontal side of the triangle)
Since we are to find for the cosine ratio of angle c or
angle θ, therefore:
cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse
cos θ = ca / bc
cos θ = 5 / 13
Check out the attached image below for the illustration
of the triangle.
Answer:
20 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of inner angles of a triangle is 180 degrees
120 + 40 + x = 180
160 + x = 180
x = 20
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the segment addition postulate
AB + BC = AC
x+2 + 7x-3 = AC
Combine like terms
8x -1 = AC
Using the segment addition postulate
PQ + QR = PR
8y+5 + QR = 13y+25
Subtract 8y from each side
5 + QR = 13y-8y+25
5 + QR = 5y+25
Subtract 5 from each side
QR = 5y+25-5
QR = 5y+20
Factoring the top and bottom of the fraction we get
(x + 4)(x - 3
---------------
(x + 4) (x - 4)
Well to give your question an answer the points (as i have graphed them) seem to have the same Y axis. This means that a horizontal line can pass through the points. Horizontal: In geometry, a horizontal line is one which runs from left to right across the page. It comes from the word 'horizon', in the sense that horizontal lines are parallel<span> to the horizon.</span>
