Given right triangle MNL what is the value of cos(M)?

Step 1

<u>Find the length of the side MN</u>

we know that

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

ML^{2} =NL^{2} +MN^{2}

Solve for MN

MN^{2}=ML^{2} -NL^{2}

in this problem

ML=25\ units\\ NL=15\ units

Substitute in the formula above

MN^{2}=25^{2} -15^{2}

MN^{2}=400

MN=20\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the value of cos (M)</u>

we know that

in the right triangle MNL

cos (M)=\frac{adjacent\ side\ angle\ M}{hypotenuse}

adjacent\ side\ angle\ M=MN=20\ units\\ hypotenuse=ML=25\ units

Substitute

cos (M)=\frac{20}{25}

cos (M)=\frac{4}{5}

cos (M)=0.8

therefore

The answer is

The value of cos(M) is equal to 0.8

Answer:

  3√3

Step-by-step explanation:

For the problem shown here, your answer 3√3 is correct.

When there is a radical by itself in the denominator, you multiply numerator and denominator by a radical that results in the product being rational. For a square root, that will usually be the same square root:

  \dfrac{9}{\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{9\sqrt{3}}{3}=\boxed{3\sqrt{3}}

__

If the problem has a sum in the denominator involving a square root, then you multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of that sum (the sum with the sign changed). This uses the special product "difference of squares" to eliminate the radical term.

<u>Example</u>:

  \dfrac{9}{2-\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{9}{2-\sqrt{3}}\cdot\dfrac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{9(2+\sqrt{3})}{2^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}=\dfrac{18+9\sqrt{3}}{4-3}\\\\=\boxed{18+9\sqrt{3}}

__

It is easy to demonstrate that none of the offered choices for this problem has the same value as 9/√3.

9/√3 ≈ 5.196. Offered choices have values of about 4.798, 1.732, 6.681, 23.196 -- none even close.

Please discuss this question with your teacher.
