Answer:

Explanation:

You just need to find the ratio of lengths of one of the sides and apply it to the unknown side:

This means that the triangle on the right has sides that are 3 times the length of the smaller triangle.

Answer:

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This can be done as a proportion. A proportion consists of 2 ratios which means it has 4 parts. If you know three of them, you can solve for the 4th.

We can use the following proportion

42/14 = x / 12 Notice that both ratios have tops and bottoms that use corresponding parts. Cross Multiply

14*x = 42 * 12 Combine the right

14x = 504 Divide by 14

x = 504/14

x = 36

Plz help!!<br> Consider the given right triangle.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

b = 8

c = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right triangle,

a = $8\sqrt{3}$ , m(∠B) = 30°

By applying sine rule in the given triangle,

cos(B) = $\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

cos(B) = $\frac{BC}{AB}$

cos(30°) = $\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{c}$

$\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}= \frac{8\sqrt{3} }{c}$

c = 16

Further we apply tangent rule,

tan(B) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

tan(30°) = $\frac{b}{a}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{b}{8\sqrt{3} }$

b = 8

almond37 [142]

Answer:

10201

Step-by-step explanation:

=(101)²

=(100+1)²

={100²+2(100)(1)+1²} [(a+b)²=a²+2ab+b²]

=10000+200+1
