A=Adam
m= Melissa

a+m = 32
m= 3a
Then 3a + a = 32 or 4a =32 then a = 8

Emma's square patio below has been area=31 sq ft. She decides to decrease one dimension by 1 foot and decreases the other dimens

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

4.57ft by 1.57 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Emma's square patio has been area=31 sq.ft

One dimension decrease by 1 foot and other dimension decrease by 4 feet.

We have to find the new dimensions of Emma's patio.

Let x be the side of Emma's square patio

We know that

Area of square= $x^2$

$x^2=31$

$x=\sqrt{31}=5.57$ ft

One dimension= $5.57-1=4.57$ ft

other dimension= $5.57-4=1.57 ft$

Hence, the new dimension of Emma's patio is given by

4.57ft by 1.57 ft

Identify the triangle that contains an acute angle for which the sine and cosine ratios are equal. 1. Triangle A B C has angle m

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The correct option: (2) Triangle ABC that has angle measures 45°, 45° and 90°.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that a triangle ABC has an acute angle for which the sine and cosine ratios are equal to 1.

Let the acute angle be m∠A.

For the sine and cosine ratio of m∠A to be equal to 1, the value of Sine of m∠A should be same as value of Cosine of m∠A.

The above predicament is possible for only one acute angle, i.e. 45°, since the value of Sin 45° and Cos 45° is,

$Sin\ 45^{o} =Cos\ 45^{o} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

So for acute angle 45° the ratio of Sin 45° and Cos 45° is:

$\frac{Sin\ 45^{o}}{Cos\ 45^{o}} = \frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } }{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } } = 1$

Hence one of the angles of a triangle is, m∠A = 45°.

Comparing with the options provided the triangle is,

Triangle ABC that has angle measures 45°, 45° and 90°.

Thus, the provided triangle is a right angled isosceles triangle, since it has two similar angles.
