Given: △RST ~ △VWX

Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

Given

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: △RST ~ △VWX, TU is the altitude of △RST, and XY is the altitude of △VWX.

Comparing △RST and △VWX;

TU ~ XY (given altitudes of the triangles)

<TUS = <XYW (all right angles are congruent)

<UTS ≅ <YXW (angle property of similar triangles)

Thus;

ΔTUS ≅ ΔXYW (congruent property of similar triangles)

<UTS + <TUS + < UST = <YXW + <XTW + <XWY = 180^{0} (sum of angles in a triangle)

Therefore by Angle-Angle-Side (AAS), △RST ~ △VWX

So that:

\frac{TU}{XY} = \frac{US}{YW} (corresponding side length proportion)

Sin(-x)= -cos x for all values of x. True or false
kogti [31]

Answer:

That's incorrect. The simplest way to show this is by evaluating the functions at a given point. Let's say x=0, then:

Sin(-x) = Sin(0) = 0

-cos x = -cos (0) = -1

Therefore, Sin(-x)≠-cos x.
