Answer:
a=6m
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) ∠ABC = 54°
a) ∠ABC = 43°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Trigonometric ratios</u>

where:
is the angle- O is the side opposite the angle
- A is the side adjacent the angle
- H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
<u>Part (a)</u>
Use the cos trig ratio to find an expression for the measure of BD:


Use the cos trig ratio and the found length of BD to find angle ABD:



Therefore:



<u>Part (b)</u>
Use the tan trig ratio to find angle CAD:



Therefore:


∠ABC = ∠ABD
Interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°



Answer:
-20.2m -11.8
Step-by-step explanation:
(2y + 14.6m + 3.8) – (34.8m + 15.6 + 2y)
Distribute the minus sign
(2y + 14.6m + 3.8) – 34.8m - 15.6 - 2y
I like to line them up vertically
2y + 14.6m + 3.8
– 2y -34.8m - 15.6
------------------------------
-20.2m -11.8
You'll apply the geometric mean formula. The idea is to multiply the two pieces of the hypotenuse: 5*11 = 55
Then apply the square root to get sqrt(55)
The exact answer in terms of radicals or square roots is sqrt(55)
Using a calculator, the approximate answer is sqrt(55) = 7.416198
If your teacher wants you to use a proportion, then one way to do it is to have
11/y = y/5
11*5 = y*y
55 = y^2
y^2 = 55
y = sqrt(55)
y = 7.416198 approximately
4.76 rounded to one decimal place is 4.8~
