Answer:

15.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relation between the side lengths is ...

x^2 = 12^2 + 10^2 . . . the sum of squares of sides is the square of the hypotenuse

x^2 = 244

x = √244 ≈ 15.62

Answer is D.
28:44 is the ratio but you have to simplify it. Divide both by 4. 28 divided by 4 = 7; 44 divided by 4 = 11

Consider, LHS

$\begin{gathered}\rm \: \dfrac { \tan \theta + \sec \theta - 1 } { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } \\ \end{gathered}$

We know,

$\begin{gathered}\boxed{\sf{ \:\rm \: {sec}^{2}x - {tan}^{2}x = 1 \: \: }} \\ \end{gathered} \\ \\ \text{So, using this identity, we get} \\ \\ \begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac { \tan \theta + \sec \theta - ( {sec}^{2}\theta - {tan}^{2}\theta )} { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } \\ \end{gathered}$

We know,

$\begin{gathered}\boxed{\sf{ \:\rm \: {x}^{2} - {y}^{2} = (x + y)(x - y) \: \: }} \\ \end{gathered} \\$

So, using this identity, we get

$\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac { \tan \theta + \sec \theta - (sec\theta + tan\theta )(sec\theta - tan\theta )} { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } \\ \end{gathered}$

can be rewritten as

$\begin{gathered}\rm\:=\:\dfrac {(\sec \theta + tan\theta ) - (sec\theta + tan\theta )(sec\theta -tan\theta )} { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } \\ \end{gathered} \\ \\ \\\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac {(\sec \theta + tan\theta ) \: \cancel{(1 - sec\theta + tan\theta )}} { \cancel{ \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1} } \\ \end{gathered} \\ \\ \\\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:sec\theta + tan\theta \\\end{gathered} \\ \\ \\\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac{1}{cos\theta } + \dfrac{sin\theta }{cos\theta } \\ \end{gathered} \\ \\ \\\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac{1 + sin\theta }{cos\theta } \\ \end{gathered}$

<h2>Hence,</h2>

$\begin{gathered} \\ \rm\implies \:\boxed{\sf{ \:\rm \: \dfrac { \tan \theta + \sec \theta - 1 } { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } = \:\dfrac{1 + sin\theta }{cos\theta } \: \: }} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$
