Which ratio represents the cotangent of angle B in the right triangle below?

Mathematics
1 answer:
eimsori [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C. 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity;

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

From the diagram

Opposite = x

Adjacent = 12

tan <B  = x/12

Since cot <B = 1/tan <B

cot <B = 12/x

Get x using pythagoras theorem

x² = 20²-12²

x² = 400 -144

x² = 256

x = 16

Hence cot <B = 12/16

cot <B =3/4

The legs of a right triangle are 3 and 4 inches long how long is the hypotenuse
nataly862011 [7]
In the right angled triangle, a hypotenuse is the longest line of the triangle and is always the one that is opposite the right-angle of the triangle.
If your triangle is a right angled triangle, the simplest way is to use the Pythagora's Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The formula for which is
a² + b² = c²  where c is the unknown hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides.
<span>Using this formula,
3</span>² + 4² = c²
9 + 16 = c²
25 = c²
√25 = √c²
5 = c which if you notice is also the lengthiest .

Amy and Roger both wash windows at a large downtown building. Amy can wash 25 windows in 4 hours. Roger can wash 32 windows in 6
mote1985 [20]
Amy can wash 75 cars in 12 hours, Roger can wash 64 cars in 12 hours.
so therefore 75+64 =139
together they can wash 139 cars in 12 hours
