Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem can be understood as a mathematical relationship between the sides of a right triangle that helps to understand geometric problems in real situations, such as finding measurements, calculating areas, etc.

The theorem says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other sides.

In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, on the side opposite to its longest angle, and the other two sides will be the sides. So the Pythagorean theorem formula is:

a² = b² + c²

where a represents the hypotenuse and b and c the other sides.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

B. y= -2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

• Locate and plot the point (-2,2) on a graph.

• Plot the line y= 1/2x+3 on the graph.

• Once you have your line and Point graphed, Graph the answer choices.

• Your answer will be the line that goes through the point (-2,2).

• To check your answer, Make sure that the line is also perpendicular, or has a 90-degree angle to the original line.

• Thus, your answer is B.

20 POINTS. Given cos θ=4/5, find cot(θ).

nydimaria [60]

$\displaystyle\\\cos\theta=\frac{4}{5}\\\\ \sin\theta=\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2} =\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}} =\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} =\frac{3}{5}~~\text{(If } \theta \in \text{quadrant 1)}}\\\\\\ \cot(\theta)=\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=\frac{~~\dfrac{4}{5}~~}{\dfrac{3}{5}}=\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{5}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\\\\\\\boxed{\cot(\theta)=\frac{4}{3}}$
