In ΔWXY, the measure of ∠Y=90°, YX = 40, XW = 41, and WY = 9. What ratio represents the cosine of ∠W?

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine of an angle:

The cosine of an angle, in a right triangle, is the length of the side adjacent to this angle divided by the hypotenuse.

Length of the largest side:

The length of the largest side is 41, that is, the hypotenuse is 41. The hypotenuse is XW.

WY = 9.

This means that the length of the adjacent side to angle W is 9.

What ratio represents the cosine of ∠W?

Adjacent side has length 9, hypotenuse has length 41. So

the correct answer is a.) bc< mn 5 stars if this you : )

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
