Answer:

3. m∠A < 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle NGS, marked as 80°, has a measure that is the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles: GAN, GNA.

If we assume that angle measures cannot be zero, then we must have ...

m∠A +m∠N = 80°

m∠A = 80° -m∠N

Since m∠N > 0, the measure of angle A must be less than 80°.

This conclusion matches choice 3.

Answer: $\bold{5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 6)\ \tan \theta =\dfrac{8}{17}\qquad 7)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{4}{3}\qquad 8)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}$

<u>Step-by-Step Explanation:</u>

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c² , <em>where "c" is the hypotenuse</em>

$5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{3\sqrt{11}}{18}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}$

Note: (15)² + (3√11)² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 18

$6)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{8}{17}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{8}{17}}$

Note: 8² + 15² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 17

$7)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite to}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{20}{15}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{3}}$

Note: hypotenuse not needed for tan

$8)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{2}{2\sqrt{10}}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}$
