The measure of angle x will be 88 degrees. Then the correct option is C.

The complete question is attached below.

<h3>What is law of cosine?</h3>

Let there is a triangle ABC such that |AB| = a units, |AC| = b units, and |BC| = c units and the internal angle A is of θ degrees, then we have:

2ab cos θ = a² + b² – c²

The triangle is shown below.

Then the value of the variable x will be

2 · 7 · 10 · cos x = 7² + 10² – 12²

140 · cos x = 49 + 100 – 144

cos x = (149 – 144) / 140

x = 87.95 ≈ 88°

Then the correct option is C.

In triangle ΔABC, ∠C is a right angle and CD is the height to

Zina [86]

Answer:

$m\angle CDB=90\\m\angle CBD=90-\alpha\\m\angle BCD=\alpha\\\\m\angle CDA=90\\m\angle CAD=\alpha\\m\angle ACD=90-\alpha$

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are drawn below.

CD is perpendicular to AB as CD is height to AB.

Therefore, angles $m\angle CDB=m\angle CDA=90$ °

So, triangles ΔCBD and ΔCAD are right angled triangles.

Now, from the right angled triangle ΔABC,

$m\angle A+m\angle B =90\\\alpha+m\angle B=90\\m\angle B=90-\alpha$

From ΔCBD,

$m\angle CBD$ is same as $m\angle B$ .

So, $m\angle CBD=90-\alpha$

$m\angle BCD+m\angle BDC =90\\m\angle BCD+90-\alpha=90\\m\angle BCD=\alpha$

Now, from ΔCAD,

$m\angle CAD$ is same as $m\angle A$

So, $m\angle CAD=\alpha$

$m\angle CAD+m\angle ACD =90\\\alpha+m\angle ACD=90\\m\angle ACD=90-\alpha$

Hence, the unknown angles of both the triangles are:

$m\angle CDB=90\\m\angle CBD=90-\alpha\\m\angle BCD=\alpha\\\\m\angle CDA=90\\m\angle CAD=\alpha\\m\angle ACD=90-\alpha$

Alice stand at point A and looks at the top of a 17.8 m tree TB, such that her line of sight makes an angle 38° with the horizon

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the horizontal distance be x

(17.8-1.5)/x = tan 38

or x = 16.3/tan38

or x = 20.863

omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture, the estimated slope goes down, so it has to be negative, eliminating 2, B and D

It isn't a gradual line, as 6x is, so that is eliminated.

When we look at the estimated line, we can count out on the grid 3 to the right and 4 down, doing that a few times. If you then connect the dots, it will be a line probably very close to your estimate.
