Given:

In a right angle triangle θ is an acute angle and \tan\theta =\dfrac{3}{5}.

To find:

The value of \cos \theta.

Solution:

In a right angle triangle,

\tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

We have,

\tan\theta =\dfrac{3}{5}

It means the ratio of perpendicular to base is 3:5. Let 3x be the perpendicular and 5x be the base.

By using Pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{Perpendicular^2+base^2}

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{(3x)^2+(5x)^2}

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{9x^2+25x^2}

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{34x^2}

Hypotenuse=x\sqrt{34}

In a right angle triangle,

\cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

\cos \theta=\dfrac{5x}{x\sqrt{34}}

\cos \theta=\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{34}}

Therefore, the value of \cos \theta is \dfrac{5}{\sqrt{34}}.

SashulF [63]
First we write the variables already defined:
 m = the number of magazine subscriptions sold
 n = the number of newspaper subscriptions sold
 We now write the system of inequations based on the following facts:
 "he earns $ 23 for each magazine subscription and $ 54 for each newspaper subscription that he sells. his goal is to make more than $ 642 per week"
 23m + 54n> 642
 "I have expectations to sell at least 10 subscriptions per week"
 m + n> = 10
 Answer: 
 A system of inequalities that models the given situation is: 
 23m + 54n> 642 
 m + n> = 10
