Answer

<h3>48°</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that sum of complementary angle adds to 90°

Let the angles be 7x and 8x

<u>First </u><u>of </u><u>all,</u><u> </u><u>finding </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>x</u>

\sf{7x + 8x = 90 °}

Collect like terms

⇒\sf{15x = 90 °}

Divide both sides of the equation by 15

⇒\sf{ \frac{15x}{15}  =  \frac{90}{15} }

Calculate

⇒\sf{x = 6 °}

The value of X is 6°

<u>Now,</u><u> </u><u>substituting </u><u>/</u><u> </u><u>Replacing</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>x</u>

⇒\sf{7x = 7 \times  6 = 42}

⇒\sf{8x = 8 \times 6 = 48}

The measure of larger angle is 48°

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Suppose that Sin(θ)=5/13 and cos(θ)=-12/13. Find the value of tan(θ), cot (θ), CSC (θ), and sec (θ). Find the value of tan(2θ)
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Because θ lies in quadrant II, 2θ must lie in quadrant IV. This means the tangent of 2θ is negative.

The adjacent side to θ is 7 because √(25²-24²)=7, so tanθ=7/24.

The double angle formula for tangent is tan 2θ = (2 tan θ) / (1 − tan² θ).

Substituting the value for tanθ in and keeping in mind that this is in quadrant IV, we get tan 2θ = -(2(7/24)/(1-(7/24)²)).  

Simplified, this becomes tan 2θ = -336/527.  

Therefore, the answer is C. -336/527.

What is the area of a triangle whose vertices are D(3,3) , E(3,−1) , and F(−2,−5)?<br> ?= Unit ^2
Thepotemich [5.8K]
Length of DE = 3-(-1) = 4

SIDE DE is a vertical line 

horizontal distance between E and F is  3 - (-2) = 5

So the area of triangle DEF = 0.5 * 4 * 5 = 10 sq units

There wear 10000 bugs in a mountain in the train there are 15 bug how many bugs in all
mojhsa [17]
There are 10000 bugs and you add 15 bugs to it. 
10,000+15= 10,015

The total is 10,015 bugs 

There were already 10,000 bugs and 15 bugs joined them. 
Which makes it an addition statement
