Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To add the two fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the lowest common denominator (LCD) is 9y. That's because 9y is divisible by both 3y and 9y.
The first fraction must be changed so that its denominator is 9y. Do this by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 3.
Finally, this answer can be simplified ("reduced") by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3, their greatest common factor.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>sine </em>of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the side <em>across</em> from the angle with the hypotenuse of the triangle (the <em>hypotenuse </em>is the side across from the right angle). In this case, the sine of angle A, shortened to , is
.
<em>Cosine</em> is short for "complementary sine." If the angles A + C = 90, the cosine of A is equal to the sine of C, since A and C are complementary. So . Notice that this ratio is the same as the ratio of the side <em>adjacent</em> to angle A (AB), to the hypotenuse.
The <em>tangent</em> is the ratio of the side opposite an angle to the side adjacent to it. Here, . So, our trig ratios for this angle are
