If sin Ф=1/3>0 and tan Ф<0; then Ф belongs to the second quadrant and cos Ф will be negative (cos Ф<0).

sin²Ф+cos²Ф=1
(1/3)²+cos²Ф=1
1/9+cos²Ф=1
cos²Ф=1-1/9
cos²Ф=8/9
cos Ф=⁺₋√(8/9)=⁺₋2√2 / 3

We have two possible solutions.
cos Ф=2√2 / 3 This solutions is not possible, because in this case cos Ф has to be negative (cos Ф<0)

cos Ф=(-2√2) / 3 this solutions is right.

answer:B. -2 square root 2 /3    (or    (-2√2) /3  )

Answer:

B. 40, 51.5, 88.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x - 4) + (2x + 3) + (3x- 4) = 180

10x - 5 = 180

10x = 185

x= 18.5

Substitute

5(18.5) - 4 = 88.5

2(18.5) + 3 = 40

3(18.5) - 4 = 51.5
