Answer:

a) Applying Pithagoras Theorem

b) Trigonometric relations

c) No we can not

d) No we can not

e) See step-by-step explanation

f) See step-by-step-explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The easiest method for calculating the missing side is applying Pithagoras Theorem

c²  =  a²  +  b²

c²  =  (5)²  +  (12)²      ⇒  c²  = 25 + 144    ⇒ c²  =  169    ⇒  c  = 13

b) The easiest method to find the missing angles, is to calculate the sin∠ and then look for arcsin fuction in tables.

sin ∠α = 5/13    sin ∠α = 0.3846    ⇒      arcsin (0.3846 )   α  = 23⁰

Now we can either get the other angle subtracting 180 - 90 - 23 = 67⁰

Or calculating sinβ = 12 /13    sinβ = 0.9230  arcsin(0.9230)   β = 67⁰

c) The law of cosines should not be applied to right triangles, in fact for instance in our particular case we have:

Question a)

c²  = a² + b² - 2*a*b*cos90⁰   (law of cosines ) but cos 90⁰ = 0

then c²  = a² + b² which is the expression for theorem of Pithagoras

In case you look for calculating the missing angles

c²  = a²  +  b²  - 2*5*13*cos α

169 = 25  +  144 - 2*5*13* cos α

As you can see 169 - 25 - 144 = 0

Then we can not  apply law of cosine in right triangles, we shoul apply trigonometric relations and Pithagoras theorem, and as we saw you can get the expression of Pithagoras theorem from cosine law

c²  =  a²  +  b²  - 2*a*b*cos∠90°    cos ∠ 90°  = 0

Then     c²  =  a²  +  b²

Question 9 options:
vazorg [7]

Answer:

  • area = 14 square units
  • perimeter = 19.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the triangle extends from x=2 to x=6, a distance of 4 units.

The height of the triangle is 9 - 2 = 7 units.

Then the area is ...

  A = (1/2)(4 units)(7 units) = 14 units^2

__

The length of the hypotenuse is given by the Pythagorean theorem.

  h^2 = 4^2 +7^2 = 16 +49 = 65

  h = √65 ≈ 8.1

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  P = 4 + 7 + 8.1 = 19.1 . . . units

Which equation best represents the line of best fit for the scatterplot?
Masja [62]

Answer:

The line of best fit would be the line in between all the points in the scatter plot that is the closest to having an equal amount of dots on each side.

If there isn't one with the exact number, pick the one that is the <em>very closest</em>.

Solve the system of equations. 3x – 4y = 8 18x – 5y = 10 x= y =<br>​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

3x-4y=8

and 18x-5y=10

Suppose,

3x-4y=8→(1)

and 18x-5y=10→(2)

Taking equation (1), we have

3x-4y=8

⇒3x=4y+8

⇒x=( 4y+8)/ 3  →(3)

Putting x= (4y+8 )/3  in equation (2), we get

18x-5y=10

18( (4y+8) /3)  -5y=10

⇒24y+48-5y=10

⇒19y+48=10

⇒19y=10-48

⇒19y= -38

⇒y=- 38 /19

 ⇒y= -2→(4)

Now, Putting y=-2 in equation (3), we get

x=4y+8

x= (4(-2)+8) /3

 ⇒x= (-8+8)/ 3

 ⇒x= 0/ 3

 

⇒x=0

∴x=0  and  y= -2
