Answer:
(a) SV/VW
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationship between trig functions and sides in a right triangle. This problem also makes use of the properties of similar triangles:
- corresponding sides are proportional
- corresponding angles are congruent
__
<h3>sine ratio</h3>
The sine of angle U is given by ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
The side opposite angle U in ΔTUS is ST. The hypotenuse of that right triangle is side TU. This means the desired ratio is ...
sin(U) = Opposite/Hypotenuse = ST/TU
<h3>corresponding ratio</h3>
In similar ΔVWS, angle W has the same measure as angle U. Its sine will be the ratio of the corresponding sides. The similarity statement ΔTUS~ΔVWS tells you that the side corresponding to ST is SV, and the side corresponding to TU is VW.
sin(U) = sin(W) = SV/VW
Answer:
A.5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
The age of Blain is 23 years old
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let the age of Blain be "a" and age of Jillian be "b"
Given that Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age
So we can frame a equation as:
age of blain = 2 + 3(age of Jillian)
a = 2 + 3b ----- eqn 1
Also given that Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain
Age of Jillain = Age of Blain - 16
b = a - 16 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
a = 2 + 3(a - 16)
a = 2 + 3a - 48
a - 3a = -46
-2a = -46
a = 23
Thus the age of Blain is 23 years old
So the probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. This means that the favorable outcomes are 7/9, and the unfavorable outcomes are 2/9. The odds against the event are the unfavorable outcomes. Therefore the odds against the event is 2/9, or 0.2 repeating. Hope this helps.
