Answer:

First term = 15

Second term = 9

Third term =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

First term = 3x

Second term = 3x - 6

Third term =  \frac{1}{5} (3x) =  \frac{3x}{5}

Also,

3x -  \frac{3x}{5}  = 12

\frac{15x}{5}  -  \frac{3x}{5}  = 12

\frac{15x - 3x}{5}  = 12

15x - 3x = 12 \times 5

12x = 60

x =  \frac{60}{12}

x = 5

With the value of x, we conclude that the first three terms are as follows:

First term = 3x = 3×5 = 15

Second term = 3x - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9

Third term = \frac{3x}{5} =\frac{15}{5}= 3

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow.
bija089 [108]

Given:

ABC is a right triangle.

Opposite of C = AB = 6

Adjacent of C = BC = 8

Hypotenuse = AC = 10

To find:

The value of sin C.

Solution:

Using basic trigonometric ratio formula:

$\sin \theta = \frac{\text{Opposite of }\theta}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

$\sin C = \frac{\text{Opposite of C}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

$\sin C = \frac{AB}{AC}

$\sin C = \frac{6}{10}

Cancel the common factors.

$\sin C = \frac{3}{5}

The value of sin C is \frac{3}{5}.
