The first answer, using a number line, is a good answer.

I have two other ways:

Way #1:

5 stones is more than 3 stones.
5 gallons is greater than 3 gallons.
5 pounds is greater than 3 pounds.
5 puppies is greater than 3 puppies.
5 hamburgers is greater than 2 hamburgers.
5 schoolbuses is greater than 3 schoolbuses.

We look around us, and we see that 5 of anything
is always greater than 3 of the same thing.

There's no reason that should change if the 'things' are eighths.


Way #2:

-- Get 2 friends to help you.

-- Take one good-size veggie pizza or coconut cream pie.

-- Carefully cut it up in eight (8) equal pieces.
   Now each piece is 1/8 of the pie or the pizza.

-- Give 5 pieces (5/8) to the first friend.
   Give 3 pieces (3/8) to the other friend.

-- Ask them to get together and agree on who has more.

Question 1:

Look at the image. 

First, we graph the points on a grid.

Then, we find the perpendicular bisectors and find where they intersect.

They intersect on the circumcenter of the triangle.

The circumcenter is (5,3)

Question 2:

The answer is III only because the perpendicular bisector for the longest side will always have to point outside the triangle in order to intersect with the other two perpendicular bisectors.

Question 3:

The answer is a perpendicular bisector because it is a perpendicular line that bisects a side of the triangles, which is the exact definition of a perpendicular bisector.

Have an awesome day! :)

Can someone help me plz .. Use these lengths to find cos B, tan B, and sin B.
lara [203]

Answer:

cos B = \frac{7}{25}

tan B = \frac{24}{7}

sin B = \frac{24}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle, there are three sides and 2 acute angles

  • Hypotenuse ⇒ the opposite side of the right angle
  • Leg1 and Leg 2 ⇒ the sides of the right angle

The trigonometry functions of one of the acute angles Ф are

  • sin Ф = opposite leg/hypotenuse
  • cos Ф = adjacent leg/hypotenuse
  • tan Ф = opposite leg/adjacent leg

In Δ ACB

∵ ∠C is the right angle

∴ AB is the hypotenuse

∵ AC is the opposite side of ∠B ⇒ leg1

∵ CB is the adjacent side of ∠B ⇒ leg2

→ By using the ratios above

∴ cos B = \frac{CB}{AB} , tan B = \frac{AC}{CB} , sin B = \frac{AC}{AB}

∵ CB = 7, AB = 25, AC = 24

∴ cos B = \frac{7}{25}

∴ tan B = \frac{24}{7}

∴ sin B = \frac{24}{25}
