Answer:

x= 17cm

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

sides of a triangle:

x, x-5, 3x

perimeter= 80cm

perimeter of a triangle= side + side + side

80 = x + (x-5) + (3x)

80 = x + x + 3x -5 ------------->(rearranging the like terms together)

80 = 5x - 5

80+5 = 5x

85 = 5x

85/5 = x

17cm = x

Answer:

cos2t/cos²t

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given trigonometric expression to us is ,

\longrightarrow \dfrac{cos^4t - sin^4t }{cos^2t }

We can write the numerator as ,

\longrightarrow \dfrac{ (cos^2t)^2-(sin^2t)^2}{cos^2t }

Recall the identity ,

\longrightarrow (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2

Using this we have ,

\longrightarrow \dfrac{(cos^2t + sin^2t)(cos^2t-sin^2t)}{cos^2t}

Again , as we know that ,

\longrightarrow sin^2\phi + cos^2\phi = 1

Therefore we can rewrite it as ,

\longrightarrow \dfrac{1(cos^2t - sin^2t)}{cos^2t}

Again using the first identity mentioned above ,

\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{\dfrac{(cost + sint )(cost - sint)}{cos^2t}}}

Or else we can also write it using ,

\longrightarrow cos2\phi = cos^2\phi - sin^2\phi

Therefore ,

\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{\dfrac{cos2t}{cos^2t}}}

And we are done !

We can rewrite cos 2x as ,

\longrightarrow cos(x + x )

As we know that ,

\longrightarrow cos(y + z )= cosy.cosz -  siny.sinz

So that ,

\longrightarrow cos(x+x) = cos(x).cos(x) - sin(x)sin(x)

On simplifying,

\longrightarrow cos(x+x) = cos^2x - sin^2x

Hence,

\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{cos (2x) = cos^2x - sin^2x }}
