Can anyone help me with trig identities?

Answer:

cosA = √(21/25)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

sin²(A) + cos²(A) = 1

Next, we know that sin(A) = 2/5. Plugging that into our equation, we get

(2/5)² + cos²A = 1

4/25 + cos²A = 1

subtract 4/25 from both sides to isolate cos²A

cos²A = 1 - 4/25 = 25/25-4/25 = 21/25

square root both sides to get

cosA = √(21/25)

We do not include -√(21/25) in our possible answer for cosA because this is in quadrant 1, so cosA must be positive.

suppose someone tells you that she has a triangle with sides having lengths 2.6,8.1 and 8.6. Is this a right triangle? why or wh
sveta [45]
If you're only provided with the lengths of a triangle, and you're asked to determine whether or not the triangle is right or not, you'll need to rely on the Pythagorean Theorem to help you out. In case you're rusty on it, the Pythagorean Theorem defines a relationship between the <em>legs</em> of a right triangle and its <em>hypotenuse</em>, the side opposite its right angle. That relationship is a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is its hypotenuse. To see if our triangle fits that requirement, we'll have to substitute its lengths into the equation.

How do we determine which length is the hypotenuse, though? Knowledge that the hypotenuse is always the longest length of a right triangle helps here, as we can clearly observe that 8.6 is the longest we've been given for this problem. The order we pick the legs in doesn't matter, since addition is commutative, and we'll get the same result regardless of the order we're adding a and b.

So, substituting our values in, we have:

(2.6)² + (8.1)² = (8.6)²

Performing the necessary calculations, we have:

6.76 + 65.61 = 73.96
72.37 ≠ 73.96

Failing this, we know that our triangle cannot be right, but we <em>do </em>know that 72.37 < 73.96, which tells us something about what kind of triangle it is. Imagine taking a regular right triangle and stretching its hypotenuse, keeping the legs a and b the same length. This has the fact of <em>increasing the angle between a and b</em>. Since the angle was already 90°, and it's only increased since then, we know that the triangle has to be <em>obtuse</em>, which is to say: yes, there's an angle in it larger than 90°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we need to do the exponent,3^-1, which equals 1/3.

Now, we multiply 3 with 1/3.

3•1/3 =1
