For this right triangle, what is the cosine of angle C?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ollegr [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A  cos C = 12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

cos theta = adjacent side/ hypotenuse

cos C = BC/AC

But we don't know BC, but we can find it using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

5^2 +BC^2 = 13^2

25 + BC ^2 =169

Subtract 25 from each side

BC^2 = 169-25

BC ^2 = 144

Taking the square root of each side

BC =12

cos C = 12/13

PLS HELP<br> Find an equation of the line with a y-intercept of -3 and an x-intercept of -4.5
kari74 [83]

Answer:

y = - \frac{2}{3} x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4.5, 0 ) ← coordinates of intercepts

m = \frac{0-(-3)}{-4.5-0} = \frac{0+3}{-4.5-0} = \frac{3}{-4.5} = - \frac{2}{3}

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3

y = - \frac{2}{3} x - 3 ← equation of line

What is the eighth term of the arithmetic sequence? An=<br> 10n – 14?
Alja [10]

Answer:

A8 = 66 [8th term]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the explicit arithmetic sequence An = -14 + 10n → -4 + 10(n-1)

To find the 8th term. An nth term is where n is n in the sequence. So substitute 8 for n, and simplify.

So A8 = -4 + 10(8-1) → -4 + 10(7) → -4 + 70 → 70 - 4 → 66.
