Why does sin54°≈0.809≈cos36° in a right triangle? A
54° and 36° are complementary angles in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the opposite leg of 54° and the adjacent leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

B
54° and 36° are complementary angles in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the adjacent leg of 54° and the opposite leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

C
54° and 36° are supplementary in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the opposite leg of 54° and adjacent leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

D
54° and 36° are supplementary in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the adjacent leg of 54° and opposite leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

A

54° and 36° are complementary angles in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the opposite leg of 54° and the adjacent leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer explains itself.

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. When one of the angles is 90°, the sum of the other two angles is also 90°. That means those two acute angles are complementary (not supplementary).

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.

b) k’(6, 4); l’(3, 3)

step-by-step explanation:

a 270° clockwise rotation maps every point (x, y) to (y, -x). (it negates the x-coordinate and then switches it and the y-coordinate.)

this means the endpoints of the side congruent to kl, k' and l', would be mapped as:

k'(-4, 6)→(6, 4)

l'(-3, 3)→(3, 3)
