Answers:

tan(A) = 8/15

sin(A) = 8/17

cos(A) = 15/17

==================================================

Explanation:

The tangent ratio involves the opposite over adjacent. With respect to angle A, the opposite side is 8 units long as this side is as far as possible away from angle A. In contrast, the adjacent side is 15 units long because this leg is closest possible and the two are right next to one another.

Therefore,

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = BC/AC

tan(A) = 8/15

---------------

As for the other trig ratios, they are:

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

which explains why sin(A) and cos(A) are 8/17 and 15/17 respectively.

7. Meghraj divided like this. 1.05 2.1 → 105 210 Do you agree with what he did? Explain your thinking.​
Anarel [89]

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that means

1.05 / 2.1

or

1.05 ÷ 2.1

both mean the same thing.

so, let's look at

1.05 / 2.1

this is the same as

105/100 / 210/100 = (105×100) / (210×100) =

= (105×100) / (210×100) × (1/100 / 1/100)

as long as we multiply numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) always with the same thing, the general fraction or division is unchanged.

(105×100) / (210×100) × (1/100 / 1/100) =

= (105 × 100/100) / (210 × 100/100) = 105 / 210

so, yes, the division of 105 / 210 is the same as 1.05 / 2.1

Answer:

B: BC ≅EC

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the two angles starting in C are congruent (they're opposite by vertex C).

Given that the B angle and the E angle are congruent, in order for the two triangles to be congruent by A(ngle)S(ide)A(ngle) you want the side inbetween to be congruent. That is BC and EC. Option B
