The length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is 8√3

<h3>How to find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Triangle type = Equilateral triangle

Height (h) = 12

Missing side length = x

The missing side length, x is calculated using the following sine ratio

sin(60) = Height/Missing side length

This gives

sin(60) = 12/x

Make x the subject of the formula

So, we have

x = 12/sin(60)

Evaluate the quotient

So, we have

x = 12/(√3/2)

This gives

x = 24/√3

Rationalize

x = 24/√3 * √3/√3

Evaluate

x = 8√3

Hence, the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is 8√3

Answer:

Draw a right triangle and name it ABC- C is your right angle. A is the angle above C and B is the angle on the side of C. AC=12 and CB=5, you have to find AB using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem you say:

AB²=AC²+CB²

AB²=12²+5²

AB²=144+25

AB²=169

AB=√169

AB= 13

Solve the oblique triangle where side a has length 10 cm, side c has length 12 cm, and angle beta has measure thirty degrees. Ro

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The missing side is $B = 6.0\ cm$

The missing angles are $\alpha = 56.2$ and $\theta = 93.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = 10\ cm$

$C = 12\ cm$

$\beta = 30$

The implication of this question is to solve for the missing side and the two missing angles

Represent

Angle A with $\alpha$

Angle B with $\beta$

Angle C with $\theta$

Calculating B

This will be calculated using cosine formula as thus;

$B^2 = A^2 + C^2 - 2ACCos\beta$

Substitute values for A, C and $\beta$

$B^2 = 10^2 + 12^2 - 2 * 10 * 12 * Cos30$

$B^2 = 100 + 144 - 240 * 0.8660$

$B^2 = 100 + 144 - 207.8$

$B^2 = 36.2$

Take Square root of both sides

$B = \sqrt{36.2}$

$B = 6.0$ <em>(Approximated)</em>

Calculating $\alpha$

This will be calculated using cosine formula as thus;

$A^2 = B^2 + C^2 - 2BCCos\alpha$

Substitute values for A, B and C

$A^2 = B^2 + C^2 - 2BCCos\alpha$

$10^2 = 6^2 + 12^2 - 2 * 6 * 12 * Cos\alpha$

$100 = 36 + 144 - 144Cos\alpha$

Collect Like Terms

$100 - 36 - 144 = -144Cos\alpha$

$-80 = -144Cos\alpha$

Divide both sides by -144

$\frac{-80}{-144} = Cos\alpha$

$0.5556 = Cos\alpha$

$\alpha = cos^{-1}(0.5556)$

$\alpha = 56.2$ <em>(Approximated)</em>

Calculating $\theta$

This will be calculated using cosine formula as thus;

$C^2 = B^2 + A^2 - 2BACos\theta$

Substitute values for A, B and C

$12^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2 * 6 * 10Cos\theta$

$144 = 36 + 100 - 120Cos\theta$

Collect Like Terms

$144 - 36 - 100 = -120Cos\theta$

$8 = -120Cos\theta$

Divide both sides by -120

$\frac{8}{-120} = Cos\theta$

$-0.0667= Cos\theta$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(-0.0667)$

$\theta = 93.8$ <em>(Approximated)</em>
