Given data, cos(A - B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB 
<span>let, A=60' and B=30' ( here the ' sign bears degree) </span>
<span>L.H.S = cos(A - B) </span>
<span>=cos (60'-30) ( using value of A and B ) </span>
<span>=cos30' </span>
<span>= sqrt3/2 </span>
<span>R.H.S= cosAcosB + sinAsinB </span>
<span>=cos60' cos30' + sin60' sin30' </span>
<span>= 1/2* sqrt3/2+ sqrt3/2*1/2 </span>
<span>= sqrt3/4 + sqrt3/4 </span>
<span>=2 sqrt3/4 </span>
<span>= sqrt3/2 </span>
<span>so L.H.S =R.H.S or cos(A - B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB</span>

In isosceles △ABC (AC = BC) with base angle 30° CD is a median. How long is the leg of △ABC, if sum of the perimeters of △ACD an
SIZIF [17.4K]

Note necessary facts about isosceles triangle ABC:

  • The median CD drawn to the base AB is also an altitude to tha base in isosceles triangle (CD⊥AB). This gives you that triangles ACD and BCD are congruent right triangles with hypotenuses AC and BC, respectively.
  • The legs AB and BC of isosceles triangle ABC are congruent, AC=BC.
  • Angles at the base AB are congruent, m∠A=m∠B=30°.

1. Consider right triangle ACD. The adjacent angle to the leg AD is 30°, so the hypotenuse AC is twice the opposite leg CD to the angle A.

AC=2CD.

2. Consider right triangle BCD. The adjacent angle to the leg BD is 30°, so the hypotenuse BC is twice the opposite leg CD to the angle B.

BC=2CD.

3. Find the perimeters of triangles ACD, BCD and ABC:

P_{ACD}=AC+CD+AD=2CD+CD+AD=3CD+AD;

P_{BCD}=BC+CD+BD=2CD+CD+AD=3CD+AD;

P_{ABC}=AC+BC+AB=2CD+2CD+AD+BD=4CD+2AD.

4.  If sum of the perimeters of △ACD and △BCD is 20 cm more than the perimeter of △ABC, then

P_{ACD}+P_{BCD}=P_{ABC}+20,\\ \\3CD+AD+3CD+AD=4CD+2AD+20,\\ \\6CD+2AD=4CD+2AD+20,\\ \\2CD=20.

5. Since AC=BC=2CD, then the legs AC and BC of isosceles triangles have length 20 cm.

Answer: 20 cm.

Elliot has a total of 26 books. He has 12 more fiction books than nonfiction books. Let x represent the number of fiction books
AlladinOne [14]

<u>Answers</u>

19 fiction books

7 nonfiction books


<u>Explanation</u>

x + y = 26  ............................................. (i)

x – y = 12  ............................................ (ii)

Elliot added the two equations and the result was

2x = 38.

Dividing both sides by 2;

x = 19

There are 19 fiction books.

Substituting x in equation (i),

x + y = 26             when x = 19

19 + y = 26

y = 26 - 19

   = 7

There are 7 nonfiction books

The system shown is _____.<br><br> equivalent<br><br> independent<br><br> inconsistent
Rzqust [24]
We know that
If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent.
When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line
so
the system has an infinite number of solutions

If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent.
<span>
therefore
the system is </span>consistent, dependent and <span>equivalent
</span><span>
the answer is 
</span>equivalent
