Answer:

A

54° and 36° are complementary angles in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the opposite leg of 54° and the adjacent leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer explains itself.

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. When one of the angles is 90°, the sum of the other two angles is also 90°. That means those two acute angles are <em>complementary</em> (not supplementary).

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Is y=-2/5x inverse or direct variation
liraira [26]

Answer:

direct

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation representing direct variation is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

The standard form of an equation representing inverse variation is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

y = - \frac{2}{5} x ← represents direct variation with k = - \frac{2}{5}

3. If Earth was 10 times farther away from the sun than it is now, which planet would it be closest to? (Assume all the planets
Soloha48 [4]
The earth is 93 million miles away from the sun.  93 million times 10 is 930,000,000 away.  Mars is currently 141.6 million miles from the sun.  Assuming the planets were in a straight line you would subtract from 141.6 million miles the 93 million miles so that would put us within 48,600,000 miles of Mars.  So the answer is we would be closest to Mars.
