Cosθ is 3/5 because the cosine is found from the adjacent side of the triangle being divided by the hypotenuse. The sine is found by putting the opposite side from θ over the hypotenuse. If you draw this triangle out, the side across from θ would be 4 and the hypotenuse 5. In order to find the opposite side, you could either solve with the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2= c^2) or you could remember the properties of a triangle, therefore the final side is 3. You then put the opposite, 3, over the hypotenuse,5, in order to get 3/5 for the cosθ.

Answer:

cosθ =  \frac{3}{5} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If sinθ =4/5 .

To find :  cosθ = _____.

Solution : We have given that sinθ =4/5 .

By the trigonometric identity

cos²θ + sin²θ = 1.

Plugging the value of sinθ =4/5 .

cos²θ + (\frac{4}{5}) ^{2} = 1.

cos²θ + \frac{16}{25} = 1.

On subtracting  \frac{16}{25}  from both sides

cos²θ = 1 -  \frac{16}{25} .

cos²θ =  \frac{25 -16}{25} .

Taking square root both sides.

\sqrt{cos^{2}theta}  = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} .

cosθ =  \frac{3}{5} .

Therefore, cosθ =  \frac{3}{5} .

kumpel [21]
X - 2y = -10 -->   x = 2y -10

3x + 5y = 25 --> 3(2y-10) + 5y = 25 --> 11y - 30 = 25 --> 11y = 55 --> y = 5

x = 2y -10 --> x = 2(5) -10 --> x =10 -10 --> x =0

Find the length of side xz give your answers to 3 significant figures
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

XZ ≈ 14.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos29° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{ZY}{XZ} = \frac{12.6}{XZ}

Multiply both sides by XZ

XZ × cos29° = 12.6 ( divide both sides by cos29° )

XZ = \frac{12.6}{cos29} ≈ 14. 4 ( to 3 sig. figs )
