Find the value of the trig function indicated ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lera25 [3.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

\cos(\theta)=\frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let us find the missing side. We know this is a <u>right triangle</u>, so we can use the pythagorean thereom to find the last side. Let us set 12 as variable <em>a</em>, 20 as variable <em>c</em>, and the unknown side as variable <em>b</em>.

a^2+b^2=c^2\\12^2_b^2=20^2\\b^2=400-144\\b^2=256\\b=\pm16

We do know that a <u>length can never be negative</u>, so the side <em>b</em> would be 16.

Step 2:

According to SOHCAHTOA, cosine is utilizes the adjacent and hypotenuse of the given angle theta. Let us write the equation:

\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{16}{20} \\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{4}{5}

<em>I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)</em>

Simplify 38 over 49 what’s the anwswer
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 38 over 49 can be written as 38/49. When divided, you will get 0.77551020408. It takes lots of regrouping, but it ends eventually.

If you are reducing it as a fraction, it is not possible because there is no other number to reduce it, so it will be in it's simplest form already.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Given m∠RST = (15x - 10)o

Using angle addition postulate:

m∠RST = m∠RSP + m∠PST (15x - 10)= (x + 25)+ (5x + 10)(15x - 10)=

so your answer would be (6x+35)

Find mEC.<br> 5x - 27)<br> (2x - 5)<br> D
UNO [17]

Answer:

Arc EC = 58°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the value of x.

m<D = ½(arc EC) => Inscribed Angles Theorem

Substitute

2x - 5 = ½(5x - 27)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(2x - 5) = 5x - 27

4x - 10 = 5x - 27

Collect like terms

4x - 5x = 10 - 27

-x = -17

Divide both sides by -1

x = 17

Find arc EC:

Arc EC = 5x - 27

Plug in the value of x

Arc EC = 5(17) - 27 = 85 - 27

Arc EC = 58°
