Answer:

cos A = 9/41

Step-by-step explanation:

cosine is a function that puts together the ADJACENT side of a triangle in a ratio with the HYPOTENUSE.

So from angle A the side length 9 is right next to A so it is the ADJACENT side. The HYPOTENUSE is the longest side ,that is the side length 41.

so cos A = ADJ/HYP

cos A = 9/41

It could be that the directions were confusing bc they said simplest radical form. Many, but not all right triangles have one or more sidesides that have a radical as part of their measure. This triangle doesn't. If you get a radical in the denominator of a ratio, be sure to rationalize so that there is no radical on the bottom.

Answer:

x=12 y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale factor is 1:3, that means that the length and width of Q multiplied by 3 gives the corresponding length and width of P.

Similarly, the length and width of P divided by 3 gives the corresponding length and width of Q.

With this, 9/3=3, which is the value of y.

4*3=12, which is the value of x.

Trigonometric Ratios

This problem will be solved by the use of a trigonometric ratio called sine because it relates the opposite side of a given angle with the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Selecting the angle of 60° in triangle ABD:

Sine Ratio

$\displaystyle \sin 60^\circ=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
