Since angle C is not 90 degrees, it's one of the acute angles
in the right triangle.


               (The side adjacent to angle C ) divided by (hypotenuse)

is the cosine of angle C .       


                    (adjacent) / (10 inches)  =  cos(40 degrees)

Multiply each side by (10 inches):

                    Adjacent side = (10 inches) x cos(40) =

                                              (10 inches)  x  0.766  = 

                                                              7.66 inches   (rounded)

The approximate length of the side adjacent to angle C  is \boxed{{\mathbf{7}}.7{\mathbf{ inches}}} .

Further explanation:

The trigonometry ratio used in the right angle triangles.

The cosine ratio can be written as,

  \cos \theta  = \dfrac{length\ of\ the\ side\ adjacent\ to\ \theta }{hypotenuse}

Here, base is the length of the side adjacent to angle \theta  and hypotenuse is the longest side of the right angle triangle where the length of side opposite to angle \theta  is perpendicular that is used in the sine ratio.

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

The attached right angle triangle can be observed from the given information.

First define the hypotenuse and the base of the triangle.

The side BC  is adjacent to angle C  and the side AC  is the hypotenuse of \Delta ABC .

Therefore, the {\text{length of the side adjacent to C}}=BC  and {\text{hypotenuse}}=10 .

Step 2:

Since, the cosine ratio is \cos \theta  = \dfrac{length\ of\ the\ side\ adjacent\ to\ \theta }{hypotenuse}  

Now put the value {\text{length of the side adjacent to C}}=BC  and  {\text{hypotenuse}}=10 in the cosine ratio.

\begin{aligned}\cos C&=\frac{{BC}}{{10}}\\{\text{co}}s40&=\frac{{BC}}{{10}}\\0.766&=\frac{{BC}}{{10}}\\BC&=7.66\\\end{aligned}

Therefore, the approximate length of the side adjacent to angle C  is 7.66{\text{ inches}}  .

Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) $19.2

b) 0.8x

c) $17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We want to find the discount price given the regular price

The discount is 20%

so the discount price will be;

24 - 20% of 24

24 - 4.8 = $19.2

b) We have this as;

x - (20% of x)

x - 0.2x = 0.8x

c) let the original price be x

x - 20% of x = 14

x - 0.2x = 14

0.8x = 14

x = 14/0.8

x = $17.5

What is the solution of x-1/1-x &lt; 0?
kykrilka [37]

Option C is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the solution of \frac{x-1}{1-x}

The given inequality becomes undefined when x = 1 because the denomiator is: 1-x and if x = 1 then it becomes 1-1 = 0 and anything divided by zero is undefined.

So, all values other than 1 are included in the solution of the given inequality.

So, solution is: x<1 or x>1 but x≠1

So, Option C is correct because all numbers are included in number line except 1. An unfilled circle on 1 shows that it is not included in the solution. Rest of numbers are included.

Option C is correct option.
