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

Verizon [17]

Since, it is given that the pentagon ABCDE is congruent to pentagon FGHIJ.

By being congruent, the corresponding angles and sides are equal.

Therefore, \angle A = \angle F, \angle B = \angle G, \angle C = \angle H, \angle D= \angle I, \angle E = \angle J.

By using \angle A = \angle F

So, 100^\circ = \angle 1

Therefore, the measure of angle 1 is 100 degrees.

So, Option B is the correct answer.

Jacob made a banner for a sporting event in the shape of a parallelogram the area of the banner is 127 1/2 square centimeters th
Firlakuza [10]
For a parallelogram, the area is calculated by the equation,
                                            A = bh
where A is area, b is base, and h is height. From this equation, we can solve for the base of the banner by dividing the area by the height. 
                        base of the banner = 127.5 cm² / 4.25 cm
                         base of the banner = 30 cm
Thus, the measure of the base of the banner is equal to 30 cm.
