f the cos of angle x is eight seventeenths and the triangle was dilated to be two times as big as the original, what would be the value of the cos of x for the dilated triangle? Clue: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar, and enter the fraction with no spaces.

I meant group mathematics oops

Vocaloid · Answer

Dilation does not change the angles, and thus, does not change any of the angle ratios. So if the angle ratios don’t change, what does that say about the new cos value?

icecreamsundae · Answer

It is 8/17??

Vocaloid · Answer

yup, good, the cos ratio remains the same (8/17)
