Taking over his thoughts is the answer
Since the area of a triangle is in the form
area=0.5(base)(height)
height=base+7
let base=x
area=0.5(x)(7+x)
30=3.5x+0.5x^2
multiply the equation by 2
60=7x+x^2
subtract 60 from both sides
x^2+7x-60=0
(x-5)(x+12)=0
thus x=5 or x=-12 since we are only considering positive answers
x=-12 is rejected
so base=5 and height=5+7=12
1. 1/9
2. 0
3. -9
4. -1
Reasoning: To get the opposite of a number just add a negative sign or take it away. This can be done to all numbers other than 0
Answer:
cosine of angle a = 8/17
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there!
Remember these are the trigonometric ratios
SOC CAH TOA
Sine = Opposite over Hypotenuse (SOH)
Cosine = Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH)
Tangent = Opposite over Adjacent (TOA)
And we are asked to find the Cosine of angle A
Remember cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse
Hypotenuse - The longest side
Adjacent - the side that's not the hypotenuse nor the opposite
The adjacent side length of angle A is equal to 8 and the hypotenuse is equal to 17
so the cosine of angle a = 8/17
