If the sine of a certain angle is 12/13, what could the cosine of that angle be?

5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Sine is equal to the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse, while cosine is equal to the length of the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse. Since you know that the opposite side has length 12 and the hypotenuse has length 13, you can use the pythagorean theorem to find that the length of the third (adjacent) side is Therefore, the cosine of that angle is 5/13. Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
