Cos a = 3/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want cos a you use the identity cos a = 1 / sec a,

so cos a = 1 / 8/3

= 3/8.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

true

step-by-step explanation:

intersecting chords are just lines that intersect. so a line is equal to 180 degrees, so when it is intersected by another chord, then it create supplementary angles, and because the lines cross, vertical angels are also formed.
