In math class, James, Hadley, and Gwen were challenged to go stand on the field in a random location and find the distance betwe

en themselves using only one length. They were also each given a protractor to find the angle between each other. Using this diagram, solve for the missing side lengths of the triangle. Round to the nearest hundredth. A triangle where James, Hadley, and Gwen are labelled on the vertices. The angle of James is 61 degrees, Hadley is 73 degrees, and Gwen is 46 degrees. The one length that is labelled is between James and Hadley and measures at 15 meters. Gwen to Hadley is what? Gwen to James is what?

The interior angles of the triangle of 61°, 73°, and 46°, and the distance from James to Hadley of 15 meters gives;

  • Gwen to Hadley ≈ 18.24 meters

  • Gwen to James ≈ 19.94 meters

<h3>How can the distances between the students be found?</h3>

The given angles are;

At James's location; 61°

At Hadley's location; 73°

At Gwen's location; 46°

The distance between James and Hadley = 15 meters

The angle facing the distance between James and Hadley is the angle at Gwen, 46°

The angle facing the distance between Gwen and James is the angle at Hadley, 73°

The angle facing the distance between Gwen and Hadley is the angle at James, 61°

The angle that faces the 15 meter length is the angle at Gwen, which is 46°

By the rule of sines, the distance from Gwen to Hadley is therefore;

\frac{15}{sin( 46 ^  \circ)}  =  \frac{Gwen  \: to \:  Hadley}{sin( 61 ^  \circ)}

Which gives;

Gwen  \: to \:  Hadley= \frac{15 \times sin( 61 ^  \circ) }{sin( 46 ^  \circ)} \approx 18.24

  • Gwen to Hadley ≈ 18.24 meters

Similarly, we have;

\frac{15}{sin( 46 ^  \circ}  =  \frac{Gwen  \: to \:  James}{sin( 73 ^  \circ)}

Therefore;

Gwen  \: to \:  James = \frac{15 \times sin( 73 ^  \circ) }{sin(46 ^  \circ)}  \approx 19.94

  • Gwen to James ≈ 19.94 meters

The vertical of three squares are joined to form a right triangle , what is the area of the largest square
lakkis [162]

Answer:

43cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

let's first consider the area of a square.

the area is L² which means all sides are equal so we take the length times the breadth which is both equal because like we said all sides are equal.

so to find the side of the square using the area, we take the square root of both of the area.

\sqrt{25}  = 5

and also

\sqrt{18}  = 4.2

so we have the height of the triangle as 5cm and the base is 4.2cm.

now, from the triangle, since we have two sides and it's a right-angled, we can use Pythagoras' formula.

\sqrt{ {5}^{2}  +  {4.2}^{2} }  = 6.53cm

so the side 6.53cm is also the same side as the largest triangle. Since it's a square, all sides are equal. So we find the area of the largest triangle by using the formula

Area = L²

Area = 6.53²

Area = 42.6cm

the nearest cm square

Area = 43cm²

The length of one side of a triangular lot is 6 m less than 3 times the length of the second side. The third side is 8 m longer
Tanya [424]

second side = x

first side = 3x - 6

third side = (3x - 6) + 8

The perimeter = 80m and is equal x + (3x - 6) + [(3x - 6) + 8]

x + 3x - 6 + 3x - 6 + 8 = 80

7x - 4 = 80 |+4

7x = 84 |:7

x = 12 m

3x - 6 = 3(12) - 6 = 30 m

(3x - 6) + 8 = 3x + 2 = 3(12) + 2 = 38 m

Answer: 12m, 30m, 38m

oee [108]

Answer:

D represents the dependent variable: the monthly cost in dollars is your independent variable

F represents the independent variable: the number of members joining the fitness club

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money depends on how many members come and join the fitness club because more money is spent more with more members
