Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question we're going to use trigonometric identities and good ol' Pythagoras theorem.
a) Firstly, sec(θ)=52. we're gonna convert this to cos(θ) using:
we can substitute the value of sec(θ) in this equation:
and solve for for cos(θ)
side note: just to confirm we can find the value of θ and verify that is indeed an acute angle by
b) since right triangle is mentioned in the question. We can use:
we know the value of cos(θ)=1\52. and by comparing the two. we can say that:
- length of the adjacent side = 1
- length of the hypotenuse = 52
we can find the third side using the Pythagoras theorem.
- length of the opposite side = √(2703) ≈ 51.9904
we can find the sin(θ) using this side:
and since
Given:
The base of the given triangle has two part:
Left( left side of the hypotenuse) = 25
Right ( right side of the hypotenuse) = x
The altitude (h) = 60
To find the value of x.
Formula:
By Altitude rule we know that, the altitude of a triangle is mean proportional between the right and left part of the hypotenuse,
Now,
Putting,
left = 25, altitude = 60 and right = x we get,
or, [ by cross multiplication]
or,
or,
Hence,
The value of x is 144.
