Given:

Right triangle XYZ has right angle Z.

\sin(x)=\dfrac{12}{13}

To find:

The value of \cos x.

Solution:

We know that,

\sin^2(x)+\cos^2(x)=1

\cos^2(x)=1-\sin^2(x)

\cos(x)=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}

For a triangle, all trigonometric ratios are positive. So,

\cos(x)=\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}

It is given that \sin(x)=\dfrac{12}{13}. After substituting this value in the above equation, we get

\cos(x)=\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{12}{13})^2}

\cos(x)=\sqrt{1-\dfrac{144}{169}}

\cos(x)=\sqrt{\dfrac{169-144}{169}}

\cos(x)=\sqrt{\dfrac{25}{169}}

On further simplification, we get

\cos(x)=\dfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{169}}

\cos(x)=\dfrac{5}{13}

Therefore, the required value is \cos(x)=\dfrac{5}{13}.

Use the net to determine the total surface area. The net of a prism with width 10 inches, length 5 inches, and height 7 inches i
leva [86]
We are asked to solve for the surface area of the described figure in the problem. We can conclude that the given figure is a rectangular prism since it was being mentioned in the problem that the height is laid flat. Therefore, the formula for the surface area is SA = PH + 2B where "P" stands for the perimeter of the rectangle and "B" stands for the area of the rectangle while "H" is for the height.
Solving for P, we have it:
P = width + length + width + length
P = 10 + 5 + 10 + 5
P = 30 inches
Solving for B, we have it:
B = length * width 
B = 10 * 5
B = 50 inches squared
Solving for the surface area, we have it:
SA = PH + 2B
SA = 30*7 + (2*50)
SA = 310 inches squared

The answer is 310 in2.
