Answer:

Cos B = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Sine B = 3/5

Cos B =?

Recall:

Sine B = Opposite / Hypothenus

Sine B = 3/5

Therefore,

Opposite = 3

Hypothenus = 5

Next, we shall determine the Adjacent. This can be obtained as follow:

Opposite = 3

Hypothenus = 5

Adjacent =?

Hypo² = Adj² + Opp²

5² = Adj² + 3²

25 = Adj² + 9

Collect like terms

Adj² = 25 – 9

Adj² = 16

Take the square root of both side

Adj = √16

Adjacent = 4

Finally, we shall determine Cos B. This can be obtained as follow:

Hypothenus = 5

Adjacent = 4

Cos B =?

Cos B = Adjacent / Hypothenus

Cos B = 4/5

Given: PSTQ is a trapezoid. ST=4, PQ=25, PS=13, TQ=20 Find: Area of PSTQ.
babunello [35]

Answer:

  174 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few different ways you can find the altitude of the trapezoid. Consider the attached figure with some points and lines added. SQ' is parallel to TQ, so Q'Q = 4 and PQ' = 21. Based on the side length of PS = 13, you can <u>guess</u> that the height is 12. (5-12-13 is a commonly-used Pythagorean triple.) This would make PP' = 5, P'Q' = 16, and triangle SP'Q' have side lengths 12, 16, and 20, corresponding to a 3-4-5 right triangle multiplied by 4.

Another way to find the height is to use Heron's formula for the area of triangle PSQ'. The side lengths are 13, 20, 21, so the half-perimeter is 27 and the area is √(27(27-13)(27-20)(27-21)) = √(9²·14²) = 126. The base of the triangle, PQ', is 21, so the height is ...

... h = 2A/b = 2·126/21 = 12

The area of parallelogram Q'STQ is then ...

... A = bh = 4·12 = 48

and the total area is the triangle area plus the parallelogram area:

  trapezoid area = 126 + 48 = 174 . . . . units²

_____

Of course, with the height known, the usual formula for the area of a trapezoid can be used:

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

  A = (1/2)(25 +4)·12 = 29·6 = 174 . . . . units²

____ [38]

Answer:

The correct answer: 0.05404

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Binomial distribution = x

n = 10

and p = 0.09

solution:

P(X=x) =1 0Cx*(0.09^x)*((1-0.09)^(10-x)) for x=0,1,2,...,10

So the probability is calculated by the Formula:

P(X>=3) = 1-P(X=0)-P(X=1)-P(X=2)

putting the given values in the formula

= 1-10C0*(0.09^0)*((1-0.09)^(10-0))-...-10C2*(0.09^2)*((1-0.09)^(10-2))

= 0.0540400

Thus, the correct answer: 0.05404

Which set of steps can be used to prove the sine sum identity, sin(x + y) = sin(x)cos(y) + cos(x)sin(y)? Use the complementary r
Vilka [71]

Answer:

[A]  use the complementary relationship between sine and cosine to rewrite sin(x + y) as cos(pi/2-(x+y)). apply the cosine sum identity. then simplify using sin(–y) = –sin(y) and cos(–y) = cos(y).

Step-by-step explanation:

i got it right

screw that other person l0l

note that sin(-x)=-sin(x) and cos(-x)=cos(x)

so sin(-y)=-sin(y) and cos(-y)=cos(y)

or something like that idfk
