Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The way the diagram looks when it is drawn is that you are going to need the sine function to solve for the side opposite which is CD.

Formula

Sin(A) = Sin(68 = opposite / hypotenuse     Substitute values.

Solution

sin(68) = altitude (side opposite) / 20       multiply both sides by 20

20*sin(68) = 20* altitude / 20                     substitute for sin(68)

20* 0.9272 = altitude

altitude = 18.5

Answer: 18.5 to the nearest tenth

1.6x=1.28<br> help me solve this
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sure! So, we need to divide by 1.6 on each side to isolate the x.

1.6x / 1.6 is just x. We need to divide by the same on the other side too!

1.28 / 1.6 is 0.8.

So x = 0.8

He dimensions are tripled. The new surface area would be times larger than the original surface area.
ddd [48]

Answer:

The new surface area would be 9 times larger than the original surface area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we do not know what was the original shape, but we will see that it does not matter.

Let's start with a square of side length L.

The original area of this square will be:

A = L^2

Now if each dimension is tripled, then all the sides of the square now will be equal to 3*L

Then the new area of the square is:

A' = (3*L)^2 = (3*L)*(3*L) = 9*L^2 = 9*A

So the new surface area is 9 times the original one.

Now, if the figure was a circle instead of a square?

For a circle of radius R, the area is:

A = pi*R^2

where pi = 3.14

Now if the dimensions of the circle are tripled, the new radius will be 3*R

Then the new area of the circle is:

A' = pi*(3*R)^2 = pi*9*R^2 = 9*(pi*R^2) = 9*A

Again, the new area is 9 times the original one.

If the figure is a triangle?

We know that for a triangle of base B and height H, the area is:

A = B*H/2

If we triple each measure, we will have a base 3*B and a height 3*H

Then the new area is:

A' = (3*B)*(3*H)/2 = (3*3)*(B*H/2) = 9*(B*H/2) = 9*A

Again, the new area is 9 times the original area.

So we can conclude that for any shape, the new area will be 9 times the original area.
