How could we describe a diagram with a transversal line?

ExtremeBDS [4]

In geometry, a transversal is a line that passes through two lines in the same plane at two distinct points. Transversals play a role in establishing whether two or more other lines in the Euclidean plane are parallel.

If 5 potatoes together have a mass of 1 kg and 8 pears together have a mass of 1,200 g which one has a greater mass, a potato or

klasskru [66]

8 ''Pears have a greater mass'' because 1000g is equal to 1kg and so the pears are 1,200g it would be 1.2k > 1k... hope it helps you :)

Prove the identity.<br> secx- cos x = sin x tan x

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

LHS = RHS

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sec(x) - \cos(x) \\ = \frac{1}{ \cos(x) } - \cos(x) \\ = \frac{1 - { \cos(x) }^{2} }{ \cos(x) }$

Since

${ \sin(x) }^{2} + { \cos(x) }^{2} = 1 \\ 1 - { \cos(x) }^{2} = { \sin(x) }^{2}$

Therefore,

$\frac{1 - \ { \cos(x) }^{2} }{ \cos(x) } \\ = \frac{ { \sin(x) }^{2} }{ \cos(x) } \\ = \frac{ \sin(x ) \times \sin(x) }{ \cos(x) } \\ = \sin(x) \tan(x)$

Therefore LHS = RHS
