B 15 C А. Find the length of "a"using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sav [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>a</em> = 12

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Trigonometry</u>

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Identify</u>

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length <em>a</em>.

<u>Step 2: Define</u>

hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 15

leg <em>b</em> = 9

leg <em>a</em> = ?

<u>Step 3: Find missing length </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables:                    a² + 9² = 15²
  2. Isolate <em>a</em> term:                                  a² = 15² - 9²
  3. Exponents:                                       a² = 225 - 81
  4. Subtract:                                           a² = 144
  5. Isolate <em>a</em>:                                           a = ±12

Since we are not dealing with a quadrant triangle, we can disregard the negative root of the quadratic.

∴ <em>a</em> = 12 is our final answer.

State which of the following sets of ordered pairs represent a function.
stich3 [128]
A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x. This means that:

Set A and Set C are functions because their y values don’t repeat.

Set B is NOT a function because the 2 in the y values repeats twice.

Hope I helped!

WILL GIBE BRAINLIEST ASAP
Romashka [77]

Answer:

A and D have whole grid squares that are the same size and aren't over lapping

C has overlapping grid squares making it hard to count

B can't be used to find area because some of the grid squares are different sizes

You still could use B because four of the smaller squares seems to be equivalent to one of the larger squares

Find the value of each expression using the given information cot∅=8, csc&lt;0<br> find sin ∅
Oksana_A [137]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  sin(∅) = -√65/65

Step-by-step explanation:

The identities that relate the cotangent, the cosecant, and the sine are ...

  csc² = 1 +cot²

  sin = 1/csc

_____

For the given values, we find ...

  csc(∅)² = 1 +cot(∅)² = 1 +8² = 65

  csc(∅) = -√65 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . square root with attention to sign

  sin(∅) = -1/√65 = (-√65)/65
