Suppose we have a right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse of length c. Suppose b=3 and c=5. Then a= , For the

Answer:

Length of right-angle triangle 'a' = 4

b)

<u><em></em></u> $sin(A) = \frac{opposite side}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{a}{c} = \frac{4}{5}$ <u><em></em></u>

<u><em></em></u> $cos(A) = \frac{Adjacent side}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{b}{c} = \frac{3}{5}$ <u><em></em></u>

<u><em></em></u> $tan(A) = \frac{opposite side}{Adjacent side} = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{4}{3}$ <u><em></em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given b = 3 and hypotenuse c = 5

Given ΔABC is a right angle triangle

By using pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

⇒ a² = c² - b²

⇒ a² = 5²-3²

=25 - 9

a² = 16

⇒ a = √16 = 4

The sides of right angle triangle a = 4 ,b = 3 and c = 5

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

<u><em></em></u> $sin(A) = \frac{opposite side}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{a}{c} = \frac{4}{5}$ <u><em></em></u>

<u><em></em></u> $cos(A) = \frac{Adjacent side}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{b}{c} = \frac{3}{5}$ <u><em></em></u>

<u><em></em></u> $tan(A) = \frac{opposite side}{Adjacent side} = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{4}{3}$ <u><em></em></u>

The sales tax rate is 8.25%. Estimate the sales tax<br> on a book that costs $18.50.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

$1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales Tax Rate = 8.25%

Book Sales Cost = $18.50

Book Sales Tax = 8.25% x $18.50

= 8.25/100 x $18.50

= 0.0825 x $18.50

Book Sales Tax = $1.53

32. The price of a box of tarts is $1 cheaper than that of a loaf of bread. If 3 times the price of a

Delvig [45]

Answer: $8.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a bread = x

Let the price of a tarts = x - 1

If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:

3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5

3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5

3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5

3.5x = 30

x = 30/3.5

x = 8.6
