Find the cosine of L
1 answer:
Answer:
0.42
Step-by-step explanation:
use the attached as reference
recall that for a right (90°) triangle, with any acute angle θ,
cos θ = length of adjacent side / length of hypotenuse
in our case, for angle I, the adjacent side is HI = 36 units and the hypotenuse is IJ = 85 units
by the above formula,
cos I = length of adjacent side / length of hypotenuse
= 36 / 85
= 0.42353
= 0.42 (rounded to nearest hundredth)

To solve this system of linear equations we need a little trick called elimination steps are below
we are given the following system of equations
if you look at the x variables in both equations you can see that we can easily eliminate them by multiplying the bottom equation by -4 as so
simplify and we get
now we can combine like terms on each side with the x's cancelling and get
now divide off -35
great now we can go back to our original system and pick a equation and substitute y back in to find x lets use
so now we substitute y and get
now we put x and y into one coordinate (x,y)
so now our FINAL ANSWER IS
(-17,-1)
