Answer:

\cos{W} = \frac{9}{41}

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine of an angle:

The cosine of an angle, in a right triangle, is the length of the side adjacent to this angle divided by the hypotenuse.

Length of the largest side:

The length of the largest side is 41, that is, the hypotenuse is 41. The hypotenuse is XW.

WY = 9.

This means that the length of the adjacent side to angle W is 9.

What ratio represents the cosine of ∠W?

Adjacent side has length 9, hypotenuse has length 41. So

\cos{W} = \frac{9}{41}

The cup, on the 9th hole of a golf course, is located, dead center, in the middle of a circular green, which is 35 feet in radiu
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

± 27.33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given problem, we can estimate the initial and final coordinates of the line of the ball path as (-40,-50) and (0,0). Therefore, the slope is:

(-50-0)/(-40-0) = 50/40 = 1.25

Similarly, we can estimate the slope of a perpendicular line to the line of the ball path as: -1*(1/1.25) = -0.8.

Therefore, using (0,0) and the slope -0.8, the equation of the perpendicular line is: -0.8 = (y-0)/(x-0);

-0.8 = y/x

y = -0.8x

Furthermore, we are given the circle radius as 35 ft and we can use the distance formula to find the two points 35 ft far from the origin:

35^2 = x^2 + y^2

y = -0.8x

35^2 = x^2 + (-0.8x)^2

1225 = (x^2 + 0.64x^2)

1225 = 1.64x^2

x^2 = 1225/1.64 = 746.95

x = sqrt(746.95) = ± 27.33 ft

Point S is on line segment \overline{RT}
Semenov [28]

Answer:

RT = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Point S is on line segment

R------------S------------T

RS + ST = RT

Given

ST=3x-8

RT=4x

RS=4x-7,

Step 1

We find x

4x - 7 + 3x - 8 = 4x

4x + 3x -7 - 8 = 4x

7x - 15 = 4x

7x - 4x = 15

3x = 15

x = 15/3

x = 5

Step 2

We find RT

RT = 4x

x = 5

RT = 4 × 5

RT = 20

The numerical length of RT is 20
