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)

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The measure of arc AEB is 266\°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

so

133\°=\frac{1}{2}(arc\ AEB)

arc\ AEB=2*133\°=266\°

After a bride has interviewed 7 DJs to play at her wedding, her fiance tells her she needs to narrow it down to 4 DJs. In how ma
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

840

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

DJs = 7

To\ pick = 4

Required

Determine the number of rankings

The term "ranking" as used in this question implies permutation and the required is calculated using:

^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where

n = 7

r = 4

So:

^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

^7P_4 = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!}

^7P_4 = \frac{7!}{3!}

^7P_4 = \frac{7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3!}{3!}

^7P_4 = 7 * 6 * 5 * 4

^7P_4 = 840

<em>Hence, number of ranking is 840</em>
