Using cosine, we can find the hypotenuse by using the formula below;

hypotenuse = adjacent / cos ∅

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>Trigonometric ratios:</h3>
  • Trigonometric ratios are ratios of sides of a right angled triangle.
  • The simplest ratios are cosine, sine and tangent.

Using cosine, the hypotenuse side can be solved as follows:

cosine ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

cross multiply

hypotenuse cos ∅ = adjacent

divide both sides by cos ∅

hypotenuse cos ∅ / cos ∅ = adjacent / cos ∅

Therefore,

hypotenuse = adjacent / cos ∅

A function is defined by f(x)=6x+1.5. What is f(2.5)
Nataly_w [17]

f(2.5) means x is equal to 2.5.

Replace x in the equation with 2.5 and solve:

6(2.5) + 1.5 = 15 + 1.5 = 16.5

f(2.5) = 16.5

2. Explain the relationship between depression and heart disease.
vredina [299]

Answer:

People with depression may have uncommonly sticky platelets, the tiny cells that cause blood to clot. In patients with heart disease, this can accelerate atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and increase the chance of heart attack. Some studies show that treating depression make platelets less sticky again.
