Let the length of equilateral triangle be x.

Each of the angle in an equilateral triangle is = 60°

The opposite to the 60° is the 18 inches. Hypotenuse is the side.

Sin 60° = 18 / Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 18 / Sin60°.                      Sin60° = √3 / 2

 x = 18 / (√3 / 2)

                      =   18 / √3  *  2/1 =  36 / √3

              x       = 36 / √3

 Rationalize the surd = 36 / √3  * (√3 / √3 ) = 36√3 / 3

                                   x = 12√3 ≈ 12 * 1.732 ≈ 20.784

Length of side, x = 12√3 ≈ 20.784 inches.

Two angles in a triangle have measures of 25° and 55°.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

B) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

All 3 interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 so:

x + 25 + 55 = 180

x + 80 = 180

x = 180 - 80

x = 100
