How do i find the length of side labeled y?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Daniel [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The side labeled 'y' is the 'adjacent side' of the 30° angle.  The hypotenuse of this right triangle is 2√3.

The trig function relating this 30° angle, the 2√3 hypotenuse and the adj. side labeled 'y' is the cosine:

                 adjacent side          y

cos 30° = ---------------------- = --------- , and the value of cos 30° is (√3)/2.

                        2√3                2√3

Solving for y, we get 2√3 (√3)/2, or y = 2(3)/2, or y = 3

What is the area of this composite figure?<br>A. 135 cm2<br>B. 207 cm2<br>C. 249 cm2<br>D. 279 cm2
mariarad [96]

Answer:

249 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem becomes easier if we subdivide the figure, find the areas of the resulting figures and then sum them up.

Draw a vertical line straight down from the edge marked "4 cm" towards the edge marked "18 cm."  The resulting rectangle on the left is 15.5 cm long and (18 - 7.5) cm wide, or 15.5 by 10.5 cm.  Its area is 162.75 cm^2.

Next, find the area of the rectangle on the right of the line we drew.  Its width is 7.5 cm and its height (15.5 - 4) cm, resulting in an area of 86.25 cm^2.

Last, add together these two subareas:  combine 86.25 cm^2 and 162.75 cm^2.  The total area of the composite figure is then 249 cm^2 (answer).

If y varies directly with x and y=100 when x=5, what is the value of k?
horrorfan [7]
When it says varies directly, it means that y and x are going to be on opposite sides of the equals sign and that there is a constant, k,

y=kx

Plug in (5,100)

100=k(5)

K=20

What are the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the following true conditional? What are the truth values of each?
ser-zykov [4K]
<span>In logic, the converse of a conditional statement is the result of reversing its two parts. For example, the statement P → Q, has the converse of Q → P.

For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the converse is 'if a figure is a parallelogram, then it is rectangle.'
As can be seen, the converse statement is not true, hence the truth value of the converse statement is false.
</span>
The inverse of a conditional statement is the result of negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement. For example, the inverse of P <span>→ Q is ~P </span><span>→ ~Q.
</span><span><span>For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the inverse is 'if a figure is not a rectangle, then it is not a parallelogram.'
As can be seen, the inverse statement is not true, hence the truth value of the inverse statement is false.</span>
</span>
The contrapositive of a conditional statement is switching the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement and negating both. For example, the contrapositive of <span>P → Q is ~Q → ~P. </span>
<span><span>For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the contrapositive is 'if a figure is not a parallelogram, then it is not a rectangle.'
As can be seen, the contrapositive statement is true, hence the truth value of the contrapositive statement is true.</span> </span>
