Answer:

cos A= 9/41 and tan A is 40/9

Step-by-step explanation:

SOHCAHTOA.

Sine = opposite/hypotenuse

Cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse

Tangent=opposite/adjacent

Let's go back to your problem

41 sin A = 40

To get sin A by itself, divide both sides of the equation by 41. You get sin A = 40/41. As sine = opposite/hypotenuse, 40 will be the leg and 41 will be the hypotenuse. What is the value of the other leg?

Use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 40^2 = 41^2

a^2 + 1600 = 1681

a^2 = 81

a=9

This is a 9-40-41 right triangle

Now, solve cos A

cos=adjacent/hypotenuse

cos=9/41

Finally, solve for tan A

tan=opposite/adjacent

tan=40/9

Hope this helps :)

Ted and Meg have each drawn a line on the scatter plot shown below:

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

A.)Line P, because it is closest to most data points

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of best fit is a line which best represents the data and the data points are closely related to it.

It is also known as a trend line.

The line of best fit may pass through, some , none or all of the data points.

Also if the scatter plot does not pass through all the data point then the magnitude of positive residual must be approximately equal to the magnitude of negative residual of the data points.

Hence, by looking at the scatter plot we see that all the data points lie above Line R.

Hence, the Line R will not be a line of best fit.

But all the data points lie close to the line P , hence it act as a line of best fit.

A circle has a center of (5,-5) and goes through (6,-2). What is the radius?

Fittoniya [83]

Start with the equation of a circle whose center is at (h,k) and whose radius is r:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Substituting the given coordinates of the center:

(x-5)^2 + (y-[-5])^2 = r^2, or (x-5)^2 + (y+5)^2 = r^2

Substituding the given coordinates of a point (6,-2) on the circle:

(6-5)^2 + (-2+5)^2 = r^2

Simplifying:

1^2 + 3^2 = r^2, or 1 + 9 = r^2, or 10= r^2. Then r = sqrt(10).
