Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Right triangle ABC is represented with the right angle at vertex B. Base BC
1 answer:
By using trigonometric relations, we will see that:
AC = 15.6 in
AB = 8.4 in.
<h3>How to get the measures of the other two sides of the right triangle?</h3>Here we have the right triangle where:
B = 90°
C = 40°
BC = 10 in.
Notice that is the adjacent cathetus to the angle C, then we can use the two relations:
- sin(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse).
- tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus).
Where:
- hypotenuse = AC
- opposite cathetus = AB.
Then we will have:
sin(40°) = 10in/AC.
AC = 10in/sin(40°) = 15.6 in
tan(40°) = AB/10in
tan(40°)*10in = AB = 8.4 in.
So we can conclude that for the given right triangle we have:
AC = 15.6 in
AB = 8.4 in.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form is accomplished by completing the square on the quadratic. Do this by first setting the parabola equal to 0 then moving the constant over to the other side:
Now take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9:
The reason we do this is to create a perfect square binomial on the left:
(obviously the 0 results from the addition of 9 and -9). Move the 0 back over to the other side and set the quadratic back equal to y:
This gives you a vertex of (-3, 0), which is a minimum value, since the parabola opens upwards.
