A right angle with angles 30° - 60° - 90° is cut from an equilateral triangle, for example as shown below in triangle ABC

The shorter leg would be the side BD (or CD) since D is the midpoint of side BC

We are to find the length of side AD (which is the height of the triangle ABC) and the hypotenuse AB (or AC ⇒ depends on which right angle triangle that you'd want to work with)

Since we know the three angles in the right angle triangle ABD, we can use the trigonometry ratio

Side AD is the opposite of the angle 60° and we know the length of side that is adjacent to 60° so we'll use the tangent ratio

tan (x°) = opposite ÷ adjacent
tan (60°) = AD ÷ 12.5
√3 = AD ÷ 12.5
AD = 12.5 × √3
AD = 21.65

We can then use the Pythagoras theorem to work out AB

AB² = AD² + BD²
AB² = 12.5² + 21.65²
AB² = 624.9725
AB = √624.9725
AB = 25 (rounded to 2 significant figures)

If u know the short leg...which we do, it is 12.5......to find the hypotenuse, double it......so the hypotenuse is : 12.5 * 2 = 25 inches.....and to find the longer leg, multiply shorter leg by square root of 3.....12.5 * sqrt 3 = 21.65 (thats rounded)

Answer:

See attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the function as (x,y) points.

(-3,5)

(4,6)

(6,-9)

(9,-10)

These are graphed in black on the picture.

To graph the inverse, switch the points from (x,y) to (y,x).

(5,-3)

Hey guys not good at math please help
faust18 [17]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1.

Excellent. The question provides us with two points: (2,4) and (0,1). We can insert these two points into our equation.

Slope = (4 - 1) / (2 - 0) = 3 / 2.

Hope this helps!
