Answer:

angle 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric mnemonic SOH CAH TOA, we know that cos or cosine is the ratio between the adjacent side and hypotenuse side.

This means that if cos A = 0.48, A is the measure of the angle which it's relative adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle will be around 0.48.

Let's try angle 2, cos (angle 2) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 7.8 / 8.9 = 0.876404494382 ≈ 0.87 ≠ 0.48. Since the proportions are not equal, this angle cannot be the one marked as A.

Since angle 3 is a right angle, the adjacent could be either side so it cannot be correct. Thus angle 1 is correct.

The area of a rectangle is 144a^8b^4 square units. If the width of the rectangle is 8a²b^2 units, what is the length in units?
qaws [65]

Answer:

A) 18a^6b^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area = width x length

length = area/width

144a^8b^4/8a²b^2 = 18a^6b^2

The triangle shown is a right triangle. Create the equation to be used to find the missing lengths.
telo118 [61]
The equation used to find the missing lengths:
9 = __SR (5^2 + x^2)__
As long as it is a right triangle, this is called the Pythagorean Theorem
{9}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}  \\  \sqrt{ {9}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{( {x}^{2}  +  {5}^{2} )}  \\ 9= \sqrt{( {x}^{2}  +  {5}^{2} )}


** FYI- if you wanted to SOLVE FOR THE MISSING SIDE X, then just switch around the original equation solving in terms of x:
{9}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  =  {9}^{2}  -  {5}^{2}  \\ x= \sqrt{( {9}^{2} -  {5}^{2})}  =  \sqrt{(81 - 25)}  \\
x =  \sqrt{56}  =  \sqrt{(8 \times 7)}   \\ x=  \sqrt{(4 \times 14)}  =  \sqrt{4}\times  \sqrt{14}  \\ x = 2 \sqrt{14}
