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}

Filling in the given information, you are asked to find "r" from
  64π = 4πr²

Dividing by 4π gives
  16 = r²

And taking the square root tells you
  4 = r

The appropriate choice is ...

Select the inequality that corresponds to the figure:
vivado [14]

Answer:

C. 2x-y>-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The Line is not part of the region since is drawn in the graph using a dotted line, but we still need to find its equation.

The equation of a line is y=mx+b, where 'm' is the slope.

'm' can be obtained using the following formula.

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

To find the slope, as well 'b' we need points from the line, those will be (-6,-5), (0,7) as (x2,y2) and (x1,y1) respectively

Evaluating those point in the formula we have 'm' =2

Using now the above result and the point (0,7) in the equation y=mx+b, we obtain the value for 'b'.

7=2*0+b7

b=7

Hence our line is y=2x+7, and if we write it in standard form we obtain the following> y-2x=7.

Now, since our line is not part of the region, and the region is below that line, there is the < sign.

Hence the inequality that corresponds to the figure is y-2x<7 or, if we multiply by -1 (changin orientation of signs)   2x-y>-7
