Answer: The ratio is 2.39, which means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that the "legs" of a triangle rectangle are the cathati.

if L is the length of the shorter leg, 2*L is the length of the longest leg.

Now you can remember the relation:

Tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Then there is one acute angle calculated as:

Tan(θ)  =  (shorter leg)/(longer leg)

Tan(φ) = (longer leg)/(shorter leg)

And we want to find the ratio between the measure of the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle.

Then we need to find θ and φ.

Tan(θ) = L/(2*L)

Tan(θ) = 1/2

θ = Atan(1/2) = 26.57°

Tan(φ) = (2*L)/L

Tan(φ) = 2

φ = Atan(2) = 63.43°

Then the ratio between the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle is:

R = (63.43°)/(26.57°) = 2.39

This means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Graph #1

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare your

y - 1 = (2/3)(x - 3) to

y - k = m(x - h).  We see that k = 1 and h = 3.

Thus, (1, 3) is a point on the graph.  This matches Graph #1.  

Note: Graph #1 and Graph #3 appear to be the same.  Why?
