Find the angle measure that makes the statement true. <br> Sin 25° = Cos ____ °
alex41 [277]

Answer:

We know that sin(x) = cos(90°-x). In that sense, we know that:

sin(25°) = cos(90°-25°) = cos(65°)

If you put both values in a calculator, we get that:

sin(25°) = 0.4226

cos(65°) = 0.4226

Therefore: Sin 25° = Cos 65°

What might you look for in another place on Earth to know if its surface pieces are moving towards each other?
Gennadij [26K]

Understanding this movement can help predict where earthquakes will take place. ... This forces apart pieces of the Earth's surface in a violent earthquake.

The equator runs north-south roughly through the middle of the continent of Africa. Answer
Bas_tet [7]
This is false, as the equator does not run north-south. The equators is the line that goes all around the planet in equal distance from the two poles: so it runs west-east.

It is true however that it runs roughly through the middle of the continent of Africa, but rather on the west-east axis.
