Answer:
1) a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the caractheristics of a right triangle, the one in which the sum of the two sides squared is the hypotenuse squared(Pytagorean Theorem), is also the the altitudes of a triangle meet at one of the triangle’s vertices. So 1) is the answer to this question.

-
9² = 12² + 15² - 2 (12) (15) cos (B)
81 = 144 + 225 - 360 cos(B)
81 = 369 - 360 cos (B)
360 cos (B) = 369 - 81
360 cos (B) = 288
cos (B) = 0.8
-
Answer: Cosine B = 0.8

-
12² = 15² + 9² - 2 (15)(9) cos (A)
144 = 225 + 81 - 270 Cos A
144 = 306 - 270 Cos A
270 Cos A = 162
Cos A = 3/5 or 0.6
-
Answer: Cosine Angle A = 3/5
If we calculate the net take home pay and we assume the employer withheld federal income tax (wage-bracket, married, 2 <span>allowances), social security taxes, and state income tax (2%)
</span>
Married at least $500 but not more than $510 $21
Social Security at 4.2% $21
State income tax at 2% $10
Total taxes: $52
Total net take-home pay: $598
These equations do match up. All you have to do is find the solution to the first equation. After that, plug in that solution to the second equation. If it makes the equation true, then the equations match.
Hope this helps!
