Jack and Andrea want to create a right triangle together using values of x and y and the polynomial identity to generate Pythago

rean triples. If Andrea picks a value of x = 2, and the hypotenuse of the resulting right triangle is 5, what natural number value of y did Jack pick? y = 1 y = 2 y = 3 y = 4

A right triangle can be considered as a special type because the relationship of its sides can be described using the hypotenuse formula:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

or

c^2 = x^2 + y^2

where,

c is the hypotenuse of the triangle and is the side opposite to the 90° angle

while a and b are the sides adjacent to the 90° angle

 

In the problem statement, we are given that one of the side has a measure of 2 = x, while the hypotenuse is 5 = c, therefore calculating for y:

y^2 = c^2 – x^2

y^2 = 5^2 – 2^2

y^2 = 21

y = 4.58

 

The natural number is the number before the decimal. Therefore the answer is:

y = 4

Sinx=cos19∘<br> What is the value of x?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
rusak2 [61]
Remember that cos is just a translation of sin and vice versa.
So:
Sin(x) = Cos(90 - x)
Cos(x) = Sin(90 - x)

Therefore, to answer your question:
Cos(19) = Sin(90 - 19)
= Sin(71)
