Answer:
m∠R = 112°
m∠S = 112°
m∠T = 68°
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadrilateral QRST is a cyclic quadrilateral.
A <u>cyclic quadrilateral</u> is a quadrilateral drawn inside a circle where every vertex touches the circumference of the circle.
The <u>opposite angles</u> in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180°.
⇒ m∠Q + m∠S = 180°
⇒ m∠R + m∠T = 180°
Given:
- m∠Q = 68°
- m∠R = (3x + 40)°
- m∠T = (5x - 52)°
<u>Measure of angle Q</u>
⇒ m∠Q + m∠S = 180°
⇒ 68° + m∠S = 180°
⇒ m∠S = 180° - 68°
⇒ m∠S = 112°
<u>Measure of angles R and T</u>
⇒ m∠R + m∠T = 180°
⇒ (3x + 40)° + (5x - 52)° = 180°
⇒ )8x -12)° = 180°
⇒ 8x° = 192°
⇒ x = 24
Substituting the found value of x into the expressions for angles R and T:
⇒ m∠R = (3(24) + 40)°
⇒ m∠R = 112°
⇒ m∠T = (5x - 52)°
⇒ m∠T = 68°

Lateral area of a triangular prism is:
Where, P is the perimeter of the triangular base and h is the height of the prism.
Putting in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the lateral area of the prism is 1568 in².
Answer: 19 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side
Where α is the angle of depression of the dog, the opposite side (16) is Ted's eye level above the ground, and the adjacent side (x) is the distance between the dog and the barn door.
Replacing with the values given:
tan40 = 16/x
Solving for x
x =16/tan40
x= 19 ft
