What is cos A?

Mathematics
1 answer:
dexar [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

cos A = \frac{5}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle, ∆ABC is a right triangle.

To find cos A, we'd need to apply the trigonometric ratio formula, which is cos A = adjacent length/hypotenuse length

From the ∆ given,

AC = adjacent = 15,

BC = opposite = 36

We are not given the hypotenuse length AB.

==>Find the hypotenuse length AB, using the Pythagorean theorem formula:

c² = a² + b²

AB² = 15² + 36² = 225 + 1296 = 1521

AB = √1521

AB = 39

==>Find cos A:

cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos A = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

Adjacent = AC = 15

Hypotenuse = AB = 39

cos A = \frac{15}{39}

cos A = \frac{5}{13}

Solve each equation 3m-3/5=2m-1/2
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

m= 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Move the terms so that will be 3m - 2m=-1/2 + 3/5

2. Subtract the m values so that will be 3m - 2m= 1 or m

3. Calculate the sum.

4. So the answer will be m= 1/10. M because we subtracted 2 from 3 which make us 1 so we say it m and 1/10 by doing 1/2 + 3/5.

What is the circumstance of the circle P .
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

=6π ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula C=2πr where r is the radius and C the circumference of the circle.

In the circle provided r= 3ft

C= 2π × (3ft)

=6π ft

We do not use the approximate value of pi as the question demands us to leave pi unsolved.

Wright a simple equation :)
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

6 pairs of socks

Step-by-step explanation:

I started with $15.99 and subtracted that by $21.93. $21.93-$15.99= $5.94. Then I divided $5.94 by $0.99. $5.94/$0.99= 6. I hope this helped

If the translation of (x,y)->(x-5, y+2) was applied to the triangle ABC below, what would be the coordinates for A' after the
Rainbow [258]

Answer: (-3,0)

To get this answer, we subtract 5 from the x coordinate and add 2 to the y coordinate. Point A is located at (x,y) = (2,-2) so we see that x = 2 and y = -2

Subtract 5 from the x coordinate: x-5 = 2-5 = -3. The new x coordinate is -3

Add 2 to the y coordinate: y+2 = -2+2 = 0. The new y coordinate is 0.

Therefore, using the rule (x,y) --> (x-5,y+2) has the mapping (2,-2) ---> (-3,0)

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

"6 out of 10 people" means the ratio of class:no_class is 6:4

990/10 = 99, the smallest the "class" and the "no_class" add up to is 10. And, generally, the total divides with that nicely, as in this case.

99(6) = 594 ----------- probably class

99(4) = 396 ------------------ probably no class

Total  = 990

I hope this helps
