Answer:
x ≈ 25.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin26° = =
( multiply both sides by x )
x × sin26° = 11 ( divide both sides by sin26° )
x = ≈ 25.1 ( to 1 dec. place )
<h3>Answer: 5</h3>
=========================================================
One method is to plot the points P(3,6) and Q(7,3) on the same xy grid. Plot a third point R at (3,3). See the diagram below.
A right triangle forms in which we can find the legs PR = 3 and RQ = 4. The hypotenuse is found through the pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
3^2+4^2 = c^2
9+16 = c^2
c^2 = 25
c = sqrt(25)
c = 5
This is the length of PQ
-----------------------------------
Or you can use the distance formula which is effectively using the pythagorean theorem just in a slightly different format (though it may not be obvious).
