How do you use special right triangles to solve for missing sides? (30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles)

Mathematics

Answer: see below

Step-by-step explanation:

30 - 60 - 90 triangles have angles in the triangle measuring 30, 60, and 90 degrees. A 30 - 60 - 90 triangle also has special side ratios according to a side's location in the triangle.

The side across from the 30 degree angle is represented by x.

The side across from the 60 degree angle is represented by x\sqrt{3}.

The side across from the 90 degree angle is represented by 2x.

45 - 45 - 90 triangles have angles in the triangle measuring 45, 45, and 90 degrees. A 45 - 45 - 90 triangle has special side ratios similar to the 30 - 60 - 90 triangle.

The side across from either of the 45 degree angles is represented by x.

The side across from the 90 degree angle is represented by x\sqrt{2}.

These ratios can be used to find missing sides. If you know that a triangle is one of these special triangles and you also know one of its side lengths, you can plug the known length in for x in the proper place.

EX: you have a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle with a side length of 2 across from the 30 degree angle. You then know that the side across from 60 is 2\sqrt{3} and the side across from 90 is 4.

Can someone help please?

Answer:

y=1X

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the distance over the money made over the days worked is 2/2 which simplifies to 1 so that would be the one x. then the y intercept is found on the y axis where does the line cross the y axis? this would be at zero so you do not need to put that in the equation

What is the explicit formula for this sequence?
Zarrin [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The above sequence is a geometric sequence

For an nth term in a geometric sequence

a(n) = a ({r})^{n - 1}

where

n is the number of terms

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

From the question

a = 5

r = 10/5 = 2

Therefore the explicit formula for this sequence is

a(n) = 5( {2})^{n - 1}

Hope this helps you

Given f (x) = -3x - 1, solve for x when f (x) = -4
Aleks [24]
Answer:
11
Explanation:
f(x) = -3x - 1 when f(x) = -4
f(x) = -4 * -3 -1 = 12 - 1 = 11
