Question

There is a clown's face on the top of a spinner. The tip of his hat rotates to (−2, 5) during one spin. What is the cosine value of this function?

Answer 1

In order to find the cos of that angle, you need to find the value of x, since cos of an angle is the side opposite over the hypotenuse. Can you find x using Pythagorean's Theorem?

Answer 2

I think, is it 5/-2?

Answer 5

I'll give a medal to whoever can help me solve this problem!!

Answer 6

you need to use the pythagoras theorem to find x

Answer 7

x^2 = 5^2 + (-2)^2

Answer 8

x^2 = 25 + 4
x^2 = 29
x = 5.385

Answer 9

ya exactly, now you can find the cos value

Answer 10

opp/hyp?

Answer 11

cos= adj/hyp which would be -2/5.383

Answer 12

-0.3714

Answer 13

i believe so

Answer 14

these are my choices:
-2
5
\[(5\sqrt{29})/29\]
-2 sqrt 29 / 29

Answer 15

the last one, as when you find it out you get the answer
