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.

As per the reference document attached thereby along with the question statement, if (∠SOX = 160°), [∠1 = (x + 14)], and [∠2 = (3x – 10)], then the measure of ∠2 in degrees will be 113°

As per the reference document attached thereby along with the question statement, (∠SOX = 160°), and it's constituent angles

[∠1 = ∠SOW = (x + 14)], and [∠2 = ∠WOX = (3x – 10)],

And we are required to determine the measure of ∠2.

Since, [(∠SOW + ∠WOX) = ∠SOX],

Therefore, [{(x + 14) + (3x – 10)} = 160°]

Or, [{(x + 3x) + (14 - 10)} = 160°]

Or, [(4x - 4) = 160°]

Or, [4x = (160 + 4)°]

Or, (4x = 164°)

Or, [x = (164/4)°]

Or, (x = 41°)

Or, [(3x – 10) = {(3 * 41) - 10}°]

Or, [∠2 = (123 - 10)°]

Or, (∠2 = 113°)

That is, if (∠SOX = 160°), and it's constituent angles (∠1) and (∠2) measure as [∠1 = ∠SOW = (x + 14)], and [∠2 = ∠WOX = (3x – 10)], then the measure of ∠2 in degrees will be 113°

the ratio of students with bikes to students with scooters in the school is 85:51. What is the greatest common factor that you c
Vikentia [17]
Answer:GCF=17

To find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of the numbers, we first need to list the prime factors of both 85 and 51

52=3*17

85=5*17

17 is the sole common factor that these two numbers have in common, therefore 17 is the GCF.

To simplify the ratio, simply divide both numbers by 17.

85:51 becomes 5:3
