Answer:

cos q = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard position means the vertex (point or corner of the angle) is at (0,0) and one side of the angle is glued to the positive x-axis (facts, but not technical math terms) See image. Special triangles have all three sides nice and clean with whole number lengths, we call these Pythagorean triples. 3-4-5 is your most basic Pythagorean triple. So we don't even have to calculate the hypotenuse, see image. Now the triangle shown is easy to work with, using entry-level trig...cos = ADJ/HYP. So we get 3/5=.6 BUUuuuut, the angle q in the original problem is actually the giant angle, marked in yellow (see image) and we're in the fourth quadrant which means there's negative numbers all over the place. So just to be sure the answer is .6 and not -.6 Check your signs. One trick to remember is the ASTC markings in the quadrants. I use All Students Take Calculus, but what it means is in the first quadrant All the trig functions are positive. Only Sine (and fam) are positive in the 2nd quadrant. Tan (and fam) in the 3rd and Cos and fam in the 4th quadrant. It's a good quick check.

cos q = 3/5 OR cos q = .6

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-3)(4,−3) and is perpendicular to the line 4x+y=34x+y=3?
zlopas [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

4x+ y= 3

y= -4x + 3

slope = -4

the new slope = 1/4

the equation formula y= mx+b

m = new slope

y = (x/4) + b

From the point given (4,-3)

y = -3. x = 4

-3 = 1 + b

b = -4

the equation =

y =  \frac{1}{4} x - 4

Thx u if u get the answer

So the man's age is divisible by 3, 5, and 7 but not by 2, 4, 6, or 8.

3 * 5 * 7 = 105
105 is not divisible by 2, 4, 6, or 8.
Not sure if any lower ages are there, but since the man is 105 years old, you would receive $105.

HELP ASAPPPP!!!!You are making a picture frame in the craft cabin at summer camp. The frame measures 9 inches by 12
Greeley [361]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

euhm ... did u just asked if a figure with h=9inches and b=12inches is rectangular???

Does it matter what the diagonals are etc?

if the frame has angles of 90° and it has two different lengths then it has to be rectangular. The sides of a square would have the same lengths.
