Step-by-step explanation:
- Since m∠ACM = 90°, then by angle addition, m∠ACP + m∠PCM = 90°.
- Since CP⊥ AM, then by definition of perpendicular, m∠APC = 90°. Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, that means m∠PAC + m∠ACP = 90°.
- By substitution, m∠PCM = m∠PAC.
- Since m∠PCM + m∠CMP = 90°, then by substitution, m∠CMP = m∠PAC.
- Therefore, by AAA, △ACP and △CMP are similar.
Having proven that the triangles are similar, we can write the proportion:
AP / CP = CP / MP
9 / CP = CP / 16
CP² = 144
CP = 12
Now, we can simply use Pythagorean theorem to find the other sides.
AC² = AP² + CP²
AC² = 9² + 12²
AC = 15
CM² = CP² + PM²
CM² = 12² + 16²
CM = 20

Answer: cos(76)</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
The original expression is of the pattern cos cos + sin sin. This pattern matches the second identity in the hint. Specifically, we'll say the following:
cos(A - B) = cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B)
cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B) = cos(A - B)
cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = cos(94 - 18)
cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = cos(76)
----------
We can verify this by use of a calculator. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
- cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = 0.24192
- cos(76) = 0.24192
Both expressions give the same decimal approximation, so this helps confirm the two expressions are equal. You could also use the idea that if x = y, then x-y = 0. Through this method, you'll subtract the left and right hand sides and you should get (very close to) zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
By Law of Indices, a^m / a^n = a^(m-n).
Therefore a² / a⁸ = a^(-6).
x = -6.
Answer: 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
We can do this by drawing a terminal side in a standard position and then drawing the associated triangle. We then use the Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side the hypotenuse. Then, this will give a Pythagorean Triplet of 3, 4 and 5.
We now have a triangle with the values of:
x = 4
y =3
h^2= 4^2 + 3^2
h^2 = 16 + 9
h^2 = 25
h = 5
h = 5
Tangent = opposite/adjacent
= y/x
= 3/4
= 0.75
