Answer:

63/65

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that sin(a-b) = sin(a)cos(b) - cos(a)sin(b)

Therefore, we have:

sin(a-b) = sin(a)cos(b) - (-3/5)(5/13)

sin(a-b) = sin(a)cos(b) + 3/13

Since sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse and cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse, then if cos(a) = -3/5, sin(a) = 4/5. Likewise, if sin(b) = 5/13, then cos(b) = 12/13.

Therefore, sin(a-b) = (4/5)(12/13) + 3/13 = 48/65 + 3/13 = 48/65 + 15/65 = 63/65

This triangle is separated into two right triangles
if AB=BD(given) so the hypotenuses are congruent

one of the sides is same between the right triangles (BC)

so according to HL theorem, if the hypotenuses and one of the sides (except hypotenuse) between two or more right triangles are congruent to each other
the triangles are congruent


hope you understand it
good luck

How do you construct an inscribed hexagon? explain
lianna [129]

Answer:

<em>Draw a circle of some radius. Divide the central angle (360 deg) into 6 equal parts of 60 each by a protractor. Join the points where the lines dividing the angle meets the circumference of the circle.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Six sides have the same length and the angles formed by six intersections of lines are correct. If either side has a length different from any other side, or if any of the angles differs from any other, it is not correct.

The table shows data gathered by an environmental agency about the decreasing depth of a lake during the first few months of a d
Elanso [62]
(0,346)(2,344.8)
slope = (344.8 - 346) / (2 - 0) = -1.2 / 2 = -0.6

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -0.6
(0,346)...x = 0 and y = 346
now we sub and find b, the y int
346 = -0.6(0) + b
346 = b
so ur equation is : y = -0.6x + 346....with x being the number of weeks

after 4 weeks...
y = -0.6(4) + 346
y = - 2.4 + 346
y = 343.6 <==== after 4 weeks

after 9 weeks..
y = -0.6(9) + 346
y = -5.4 + 346
y = 340.6 <=== after 9 weeks
