Answer:
Yes, because when the side lengths of a triangle are in the ratio 3: 4: 5, then it is a right triangle. These sides are 6: 8: 10, then the triangle is a right one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -3/4, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor left side of the equation.
(4x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
Set factors equal to 0.
4x + 3 = 0
4x = -3
x = -3/4
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
Answer:
4 8 12 16
3 6 9 12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.
16*1.125=18
So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.
Answer: Choice A. sin(A) = cos(B)
============================================================
Explanation:
The rule is that sin(A) = cos(B) if and only if A+B = 90.
Note how
- sin(A) = opposite/hypotenuse = BC/AB
- cos(B) = adjacent/hypotenuse = BC/AB
Since both result in the same fraction BC/AB, this helps us see why sin(A) = cos(B). Similarly, we can find that cos(A) = sin(B).
In the diagram below, the angles A and B are complementary, meaning they add to 90 degrees. So this trick only applies to right triangles.
The side lengths can be anything you want, as long as you're dealing with a right triangle.
