Given that,

ABC is a right angle triangle, C is the right angle.

To find,

cosB = ?

Solution,

The sum of angle of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. So,

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

Put ∠C = 90°

∠A + ∠B + 90° = 180°

∠A + ∠B = 90°

Taking cos with each term.

cosA+cosB = cos (90)

cosA+cosB = 0

cosB=-sinA

Hence, cosB = sinA.

Which statement best shows the difference between a line and a point

Vlada [557]

A point denotes a location or a specific designation in space. A point has no measurements, it is simply a dot in one dimension. A line is composed of infinitely many points which extends in two opposite sides, the positive and negative infinities. A line is also one dimensional. If it were a segment, it would have two opposite endpoints, not extending to both infinities.

Suppose angle A and angle B are supplementary.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

x = 2

Angle A = 95°

Angle B = 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

Concepts

Supplementary angles are angles that sum up to 180° to form a straight angle.

Application

We are asked to find the value of x, Angle A, and Angle B. We are given angles A and B as 15x + 65 and 50x - 15. To do this, we can set up the equation 15x + 65 + 50x - 15 = 180 because we know these angles are supplementary, or adding to 180°. Then, once we get the value of x, we plug in that value for each angle.

Solution

Step 1: Simplify both sides.
