Find the value of the trig function indicated ​

Mathematics

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>

Xan and Katie are twins. Xan weighs 66 6 6 pounds 99 9 9 ounces, and Katie weighs 88 8 8 pounds 11 1 1 ounce. What is the differ
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

264 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

#Convert Xan weight into ounces:

1lb= 16 \ oz\\\\66\ lb=66\times 16=1056 \ oz\\\\\therefore Xan's=1056 \ oz+ 99 \ oz=1155 \ oz

Convert Katie's 88 pounds 11 ounce to ounces:

1lb= 16 \ oz\\\\88\ lb=88\times 16=1056 \ oz\\\\\therefore Katie's=1408 \ oz+ 11 \ oz=1419\ oz

The difference is calculated by subtracting Xan's from Katie's:

=1419 \ oz-1155 \ oz\\\\=264\ oz

Hence, the difference between the weights is 264 ounces

100 POINTS GEOMETRY QUESTION PLEASE ANSWER !!!!!!
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC have sides: 5, 7 and 10

5^2 + 7^2 = 25+47 = 72 < 10^2

so triangle ABC is obtuse

JKL has sides: 12, 35 and 37

12^2 + 35^2 = 144 + 1225 = 1369 = 37^2

so triangle JKL is right-angled

PQR has sides 12, 10 and 16

12^2 + 10^2 = 144 + 100 = 244 > 16^2

so triangle PQR is acute

Suppose that F(x) = x3 and G(x) = -4x3-5. Which statement best compares the graph of G(x) with the graph of F(x)?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) is first stretched by factor 4 from '4x³';

It is then reflected in the x-axis, since it is '-4x³';

Lastly, it is shifted down 5 units, because of the '-5'.
