The word "triangle" came into use in Late Middle English directly from the Latin "triangulus" by dropping the Latin "us" ending. 

Triangulus is a compound word made of two Latin words.

<span>Tri, is a prefix form of tres, which means three (3)<span>Angulus, meaning corner.</span></span>

The heights of a maple tree and a cherry tree have a ratio of 5:2. If the maple tree grew 20 cm and 20 cm was cut off the top of
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know: 
</span>\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}.
From the above equation we get x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20.
then \frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
Solving the above equation for y we get: y=160
So x=400
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.

13)Given triangle XYZ as shown at right find YZ rounded to the nearest tenth
blagie [28]
Part 3) <span>Given triangle XYZ as shown at right find YZ rounded to the nearest tenth

we know that
</span><span>the sum of the internal angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees
</span>so
m∠X=180-[55+29]----> 96°
applying the law of sines
YZ/sin X=35/sin 55°------> YZ=35*sin 96/sin 55-----> YZ=42.49
YZ=42.5 units

the answer Part 3) is
YZ=42.5 units

Part 4)
we know that
OQ/NQ=PR/NR
NQ=4X+(2X+2)---> 6X+2
OQ=2X+2
PR=15
NR=24+15----> 39
(2X+2)/(6X+2)=15/39
39*(2X+2)=15*(6X+2)
78X+78=90X+30
90X-78X=78-30
12X=48
X=4

The answer part 4) is
x=4

Part 5) A trapezoid  is show below. Calculate the measure of angle x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree

see the picture with letters attached to better understand the problem

we know that
BC=36-28-----> 8 ft

sin x=BC/AC-----> sin x=8/12
x=arc sin(8/12)-------> x=41.81°------> x=41.8°

the answer Part 5) is
x=41.8°
