Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ABCD is a parallelogram.

E is the point where the diagonals AC and BD meet.

Consider triangles ABE and CDE

Statement Reason

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1) AB =CD Opposite sides of a parallelogram

2) Angle ABE =

Angle EDC Alternate angles of two parallel lines

3) BE = DE Diagonals bisect each other in a parallelogram

Hence by SAS axiom the two triangles are congruent.

Find the value of the six trig functions given the triangle below.

Y_Kistochka [10]

$\text{Here,}\\\\\text{Opposite side,}~ O = 2\\\\\text{Hypotenuse,}~ H = \sqrt 5 \\\\\text{Adjacent side,}~ A = \sqrt{5-4} = \sqrt 1 =1 ~~ ;[\text{By using Pythagorean theorem}]\\\\\\\sin \theta = \dfrac{O}H = \dfrac 2{\sqrt 5}\\\\\\\cos \theta = \dfrac{A}{H} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt 5} \\ \\\\ \tan \theta = \dfrac{O}{A} = \dfrac 21 = 2$

$csc \theta = \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta} = \dfrac{\sqrt 5}2\\\\\\\sec \theta = \dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} = \sqrt 5 \\\\\\\cot \theta = \dfrac 1{\tan \theta} = \dfrac 12$

Work out 12+8÷(9-5) 0.018÷0.06 Express as single fraction 5/7÷2/5

Anettt [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know if the first set of numbers is all in one set, but I'll do my best to give you an answer.

Really all you need to do is use PEMDAS for the first question.

(Parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract. In that order)

$1 2 + 8 \div (9 - 5) \\ 12 + 8 \div 4 \\ 12 + 2 \\ 14$

Then to simplify that fraction next to it, notice that 0.018 is 3x 0.06.

that's a 3:1 ratio, so it ends up simplifying to this:

$\frac{3}{1}$

Lastly, to solve the division of that fraction. If you divide by a fraction, you multiply whatever it's dividing by its inverse.

So...

$\frac{5}{7} \div \frac{2}{5} \\ \frac{5}{7} \times \frac{5}{2} \\ \frac{25}{14}$

Helppppp plz asap..............

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is 48 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

It can't be any of the negative answers since the question didn't start with a negative number, and it can't be 14 feet since he started with 15 feet, so it has to be 48 feet.
