Step-by-step explanation:

it's an equilateral triangle so all sides are equal

using Pythagorean theorem

2(√6) raised to the power of 2 = √6 raised to the power of 2 + x raised to the power of 2

2(√6) raised to the power of 2 is 12

√6 raised to the power of 2 is 6

therefore 12=6 + x

x = 12-6

x=6

Use identities to find the values of the sine and cosine functions for the following angle measure.

puteri [66]

Using the cosine double angle formula,

$\cos 2\theta=2\cos^2 \theta-1=\frac{12}{13}\\\\2\cos^{2} \theta=\frac{25}{13}\\\\\cos^{2} \theta=\frac{25}{26}\\\\\boxed{\cos \theta=\frac{5}{\sqrt{26}}}$

(Note I took the positive case since $\theta$ terminates in the first quadrant)

Using the Pythagorean identity,

$\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta=1\\\\\sin^2 \theta+\frac{25}{26}=1\\\\sin^2 \theta=\frac{1}{26}\\\\\boxed{\sin \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{26}}}$

(Note I took the positive case since $\theta$ terminates in the first quadrant)

Jessica is purchasing a new car whose MSRP is $19,750. She is trading in her old car for $8100.

Without the upgrade package and delivery charge , the cost of her car is

19,750 - 8100 = $11650

upgraded cost = $6000 and Vehicle delivery = $600. we add the upgraded cost and delivery cost.

Total cost of car = 11650 + 6000 + 600 = $18,250
