For an angle θ with the point (−5, −12) on its terminating side, what is the value of cosine?

viva [34]

Answer:

option C. $-\frac{5}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

The point (-5,-12) belong to the III quadrant

The value of the cosine is negative

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

Find the value of the hypotenuse

$h^{2}=5^{2}+12^{2}\\ h^{2} =25+144\\ h^{2}=169\\h=13\ units$

The value of cosine of angle θ is the ratio between the side adjacent to angle θ and the hypotenuse

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{5}{13}$

A film student wants to capture a shot of a satellite dish placed at the top of a building. The line of sight between the ground

ICE Princess25 [194]

The ground, the building and the line of sight between the ground camera and the top of the building form right triangle with hypotenuse equal to 45 feet and angle adjacent to this hypotenuse and ground - 50°. The building is an opposite leg to the given angle, then you should write sine function:

$\sin 50^{\circ}=\dfrac{height}{45} \\ \\ 0.766=\dfrac{height}{45}\\ \\ height=45\cdot 0.766=34.47$ .
