The reasonable estimate for the length of side DE is 3 units

Find the diagram of the question attached. The given triangle ABC and BDE are similar triangles.

Using the similarity theorem of a triangle, this is expressed as:

AC = DE

Using the pythagoras theorem to get the length of AC:

AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2

5^2 + AC^2 + 4^2

AC^2 = 25 - 16

AC^2 = 9

AC= 3

Since AC = DE, hence the reasonable estimate for the length of side DE is 3 units

Find the exact value of the given expression.<br> sin(2cos^-1(5/13))
xeze [42]

Answer:

+120/169 or -120/169

Step-by-step explanation:

  • let cos^{-1}[\frac{5}{13}  ] = \alpha

where, alpha is some angle that satisfies the assumed condition.

  • so, cos\alpha= 5/13

[ taking cos to the other side  or applying cos on both sides]

  • now, substitute this in the given expression
  • sin(2cos^-1(5/13)) = sin(2\alpha )

as sin\beta =  + or -\sqrt{1-(cos\beta) ^{2}

[by general trigonometry formula: cos^{2}[\beta]  +sin^{2}[\beta]=1]

so if  cos\alpha= 5/13, we can get sin\alpha from the above formula as + or - 12/13

(because, after taking square root on both sides we keep + or -]

  • as, sin2\beta  = 2*sin[\beta ]*cos[\beta ]

[by general trigonometry formula]

  • here, now sin[2\alpha ]=2*(+or- 12/13)*5/13\\

so, the final value can be 120/169 or -120/169.
