Answer:
cos N = 7/25 =.28
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
cos theta = adj side / hypotenuse
cos N = MN/ LN
We need to find the ad
Using the Pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2
MN^2 + 48^2 = 50^2
MN^2 + 2304 =2500
MN^2 = 2500-2304
MN^2 =196
Taking the square root
MN =14
cos N = MN/ LN
cos N = 14/50
cos N = 7/25
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
Replace x by its value, so here
for x = 3
x + 29 = 3 + 29 = 32
Thanks
We use the law of correspondence that is
Hypotenuse = Hypotenuse Leg = Leg
3y + x = y + 5
and
y - x = x + 5 --------------------------------- work on your first problem to find x
x = -2y + 5
now you can plug this in to your second equation to sub in for the x
y - ( -2y + 5 ) = ( -2y + 5 ) + 5 y + 2y - 5 = -2y + 10 3y - 5 = -2y + 10 5y = 15 y = 3
Now you can plug back in to solve for x
3y + x = y + 5 3(3) + x = (3) + 5 9 + x = 8 x = -1
so y = 3 and x = -1
