Answer:

Cosine of the smallest angle is 4/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that in the triangle ABC,  side a is 3, side b is 4 and side c is 5.

Sum of squares of two smaller sides.

3^2+4^2=9+16=25

Sum of squares of largest sides.

5^2=25

Since sum of squares of two smaller sides is equal to sum of squares of largest sides, therefore triangle ABC is a right angle triangle.

Hypotenuse = 5 units.

In a right angle triangle, the smallest angle has shortest opposite side.

Shortest side is a=3 It means angle A is smallest.

\cos \theta = \dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\cos (A) = \dfrac{AC}{AB}

\cos (A) = \dfrac{4}{5}

Therefore, the cosine of the smallest angle is 4/5.

  • Triangle
  • Base = 11  inches
  • Height = 12 inches

Formula

A = Base * height / 2

Solution

  • Area = 11 * 12/2
  • Area = 132 /2
  • Area = 66 square inches.

I believe the correct answers are:

<span>UV = 14 ft and m∠TUV = 45°</span>
<span>ST = 20 ft, UV = 14 ft, and m∠UST = 98°

Or, in other words, Options A and D.

Simplify.<br> (-3.9) + (6.01) - (-7.423)<br> -5.513.<br> 2.487.<br> 9.533.
lianna [129]
First, since we must follow PEMDAS, we need to do the operation that is first, which is addition. 

-3.9 + 6.01  ← Adding a negative means subtracting, then giving the sign of the bigger number.

So now we solved those and we got this answer: 2.11

Now, we need to subtract and re-write the expression.

2.11 - (-7.423) = 2.11 + 7.423= 9.533

Ok....so now we have our final answer, and we have the choices above.

The only answer that matches ours is the last one.

Final answer: 9.533

Hope I helped ^_^
