Triangle L N M is shown. Angle L N M is 90 degrees and angle N M L is 20 degrees. The length of L N is 21.
1 answer:
Angle L: 70°
The trigonometric ratio used to solve for NM is the tangent ratio.
NM = 57.7 [nearest tenth]
<h3>How to Apply the Trigonometric Ratios?</h3>Using the triangle sum theorem, find angle L.
Angle L = 180 - 90 - 20 = 70°
Using the tangent ratio, we can use ∠M and LN to solve for NM
Tan 20 = 21/NM [tan ∅ = opposite/adjacent]
NM = 21/tan 20
NM = 57.7 [nearest tenth]

Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1,4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 3)
d =
=
= =
≈4.12 ( to 2 dec. places )
To find the midpoint use the midpoint formula
[0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]
Using the same points as above then
midpoint = [0.5(- 1- 5), 0.5(4 + 3 ) ] = [0.5(- 6), 0.5(7) ] = (- 3, 3.5 )
