Hi there! In this problem, you should have the knowledge of three basic Trigonometric Ratio.

  • sinA = opposite/hypotenuse
  • cosA = adjacent/hypotenuse
  • tanA = opposite/adjacent

Now that we know three basic ratio. Let's check each choices!

  • sin50° = d/c

This choice is wrong because we focus on the 50° angle. When we focus on 50°, sin50° should be d/x and not d/c.

  • sin50° = c/x

This choice is also wrong because in ratio, it's cos50° that adjacent/hypotenuse.

  • tan50° = d/c

This choice is correct! As ratio states, tanA = opposite/adjacent.

  • tan50° = x/c

This choice is wrong. x/c is a reciprocal of cosine which is 1/cos. We call the reciprocal of cosine as secant or sec in short.

  • cos50° = x/d

This choice is wrong as x/d is a reciprocal of sine which is 1/sin. We call the reciprocal of sine as cosecant or cosec/csc in short.

  • cos50° = c/x

This choice is right by the ratio. Nothing really much to explain since we follow by ratio that is defined.

Answer

  • tan50° = d/c
  • cos50° = c/x

Questions can be asked through comment.

Furthermore, tan also has its reciprocal form itself which is called cotangent also known as cot in short.

Hope this helps, and Happy Learning! :)

Someone help w these tw
Bumek [7]

1. The simplified expression is 10x+8y-12.

Combine like terms to simplify the expression.

-6x-12+8y+16x

-6x and 16x are both like terms, so those can be combined.

-6x+16x=10x

10x+8y-12

2. The solution to the equation is x=13.

Solve by adding 17 to both sides of the equation.

-4=-17+x

-4+17=-17+17+x

13=x
