First distribute: 4x-12=5x+5. subtract 4x on both sides: -12=x+5. Now subtract 5 from both sides. x=-17.

_______________

$\mathsf{tan\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{4}\qquad\qquad(sin\,\theta\ \textgreater \ 0)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,\theta}{cos\,\theta}=\dfrac{1}{4}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{4\,sin\,\theta=cos\,\theta\qquad\quad(i)}$

Square both sides:

$\mathsf{(4\,sin\,\theta)^2=(cos\,\theta)^2}\\\\
\mathsf{4^2\,sin^2\,\theta=cos^2\,\theta}\\\\
\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta=cos^2\,\theta\qquad\qquad(but,~cos^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta)}\\\\
\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta}$

$\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta+sin^2\,\theta=1}\\\\
\mathsf{17\,sin^2\,\theta=1}\\\\
\mathsf{sin^2\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{17}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{17}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}}$

Since $\mathsf{sin\,\theta}$ is positive, you can discard the negative sign. So,

$\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}\qquad\quad\checkmark}$

Substitute this value back into $\mathsf{(i)}$ to find $\mathsf{cos\,\theta:}$

$\mathsf{4\cdot \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}=cos\,\theta}\\\\\\
\mathsf{cos\,\theta=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{17}}\qquad\quad\checkmark}$

I hope this helps. =)

Find the arc length, x, when

Arte-miy333 [17]

The arc length of the circle is 5π/9 units

<h3>How to determine the arc length?</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters

Angle, ∅ = 5π/9

Radius, r = 1 unit

The arc length (x) is calculated as

x = r∅

Substitute the known values in the above equation

x = 5π/9 * 1

Evaluate the product

x = 5π/9

Hence, the arc length of the circle is 5π/9 units

????????????????????????????

There is a square and a triangle
the area of a square is
A = b * h
A = 2*2
A = 4

the area of the triangle is
A = (b*h)/2
A = (2 *2)/2
A = 4/2
A = 2

Now we add them up to find the total area
4 + 2 = 6
The shape has an area of 6 units^2

What is exactly the relation between a Rhombus, rectangle, parallelogram, and square explain please i will mark brainliest only

ch4aika [34]

Any rhombus is a parallelogram, but not the other way around. If you were to make a Venn Diagram, the "rhombus" portion is entirely inside the set of "parallelograms".

The same can be said about rectangles as well. Any rectangle is a parallelogram, but not the other way around.

If we overlapped the region of rectangles and rhombuses, then we form the region for squares. A square is a combination of a rhombus and a rectangle.

Any square has all four sides the same length (property of a rhombus) and all angles equal to 90 (property of a rectangle). Since a square inherits properties of a rectangle and rhombus, it automatically makes any square a parallelogram.

Check out the venn diagram below.
