HELP!!! Find the exact value of cos A in simplest radical form.

1 answer:

Galina-37 [17]2 years ago

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.

3. Is XY Tangent to circle Z?<br> Y<br> 12 X<br> (20<br> Z<br> 18

Ratling [72]

Answer:

XY is a tangent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$XY = 12$

$WY = 20$

$WZ = 8$

Required

Is XY a tangent?

XY is a tangent if:

$WY^2 = XY^2 + WX^2$

Because XY should make a right angle at point X with the circle

Where

$WX = 2 * WZ$

So, we have:

$WY^2 = XY^2 + WX^2$

$WY^2 = XY^2 + (2*WZ)^2$

$WY^2 = XY^2 + (2WZ)^2$

$WY^2 = XY^2 + 4WZ^2$

This gives:

$20^2 = 12^2 + 4*8^2$

$400 = 144 + 256$

$400 = 400$

<em>Yes, XY is a tangent</em>

Find the volume of the cylinder height 10 in base radius 3 in

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: 282.60in³

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating the volume of a cylinder, the formula to use is:

= πr²h

where,

π = 3.14

r = radius = 3 in

h = height = 10 in

Volume = πr²h

= 3.14 × 3² × 10

= 282.60

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 282.60in³
