It is an arithmetic because it is adding 2 to each number.
Answer:
-9/14
Step-by-step explanation:
This is my simplest-
Do the keep-change-flip method for this problem (and also any problem involving this)
KEEP -3/8
CHANGE the division sign to multiplication
FLIP the last fraction. 7/12 to 12/7
Now solve the problem by multiplying the fractions
-3/8 × 12/7 =
-3 × 12 = -36
8 × 7 = 56
-36 / 56 =
Simplify it by dividing the numerator (up of the line) and denominator (below the line) to get -9/14
In this problem you use cosine because you know the hypotenuse and you want to know the adjacent side of the triangle. So in your calculator you would input cos(52). Then you would multiply that answer with the hypotenuse side. So your equation would be this: cos(52) x 13
