Which of the following ratios is used in finding the tangent of an angle in a right triangle?

1 answer:

8 0

Looking at the triangle from the aspect of the reference angle, the tangent of that angle would be the ratio of the side opposite the angle over the side adjacent to the angle (which is NOT the hypotenuse!)

{(2,5),(7,3)} is the inverse relation of the function {(5,2),(3,7)} truth or false

dezoksy [38]

frankly yes, because when you want inverse a function you must inverse it with line x=y

so when you inverse a function Df and Rf will convert together!

Special Right Trianglws

Answer:

x = $2\sqrt7$

y = $2\sqrt7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

This is a right isosceles triangle (45°-45°-90°). You can solve for the missing angle by simply subtracting 45° and 90° from 180° (sum of angles in a triangle equals 180°)

Since the triangle is isosceles, x and y are congruent because they are the legs opposite to the congruent angles.

In a right isosceles triangle, the hypotenuse is always the measure of one leg multiplied by $\sqrt2$ .

So, let's use leg y, $y\sqrt2 = 2\sqrt{14}$

Solve for y:

$y\sqrt2 = 2\sqrt{14}\\\\y = $\frac{2\sqrt{14}}{\sqrt2}$\\\\y = 2\sqrt7$

y = $2\sqrt7$ , which means that x is also $2\sqrt7$
