Answer:

x = 27.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given:

  • opposite side: 10.5 ft
  • adjacent side: x ft
  • to that angle: 21°

So, use <u>tan rule</u>:

\sf tan(\theta) = \dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}

insert values

\sf tan(21) = \dfrac{10.5}{x}

make 'x' subject

\sf x= \dfrac{10.5}{tan(21) }

calculate value

\sf x = 27.35343...

rounded to nearest tenth

\sf x = 27.4 \ ft

To find the length of the missing side x, use Tan trigonometric formula

Tan: \frac{opposite}{Adjacent}

Tan 21 = \frac{10.5}{x}

Tan 21 × \frac{1}{10.5} = \frac{10.5}{x}×\frac{1}{10.5}

\frac{10.5}{Tan 21}=x

x=27.4

X= 27.4 ft

Hope it helps!

What scale factor was used in going from the grey triangle to the yellow triangle?
Lena [83]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out the length of the third side of the triangle. (The right side of the Y-axis) We use the pythagorean theorem to find it. 4²+2² = 20 find the square root of 20 √20 = ~4.5 so with this in mind, lets find the length of the whole triangle. 8²+4²=80 then √80 = ~9 with this, we can say that since the length of one of the legs has increased by 2, and so has the length of the base, and also the length of the hypotenuse, the scale factor must be 2.

See Attached picture.

We use the Work formula to solve for the unknown in the problem which is W = F x d. First, we solve for the Net Force acting on the car. The Net Force is the summation of all forces acting on the object. For this case, we assume that Friction Force is negligible thus the Net Force is equal to:

F = mgsinα in terms of SI units and in terms of english units we have F = m(g/g₀)(sin α) where g₀ is the proportionality factor, 32.174 ft lb-m / lb-f s²

F = 2500 (32.174/32.174) (sin 12°) = 519.78 lb

W = Fd = 519.78 lb (400 ft) = 207912 ft - lb or 20800 ft-lb

Dean had already read 1 book this year before joining a book club, and he plans to read 1 book every month now that he has joine
solniwko [45]

<em>b</em><em> </em>for <em>books</em><em> </em>read. b=1x + 1. the amount of months he's been in the club goes for x and +1 because he already read a book before he joined. if you do easy math, he's been there for 8 months because he read 9 books. i probably got the equation backwards but this works both ways imo.
