Answer: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You basically want to solve for the angle A. Do arcsin of 1/3, which is approximately 19.47 degrees. In this triangle, we are missing the adjacent and opposite, but we do have the angle luckily. Lets use SOH-CAH-TOA.

$sin(theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

We can see here that doing sine will give us the length of the opposite

$sin19.47 = \frac{x}{12}$ . Do sine of 19.47, then multiply by 12. I got 4

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the graphed line?

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the graphed line, you take two points. I have chosen (0, 4) and (8, 0)

The formula of a slope is (y value of second point $-y$ value of first point) divided by (x value of second point $-x$ value of first point):

$\frac{0-4}{8-0} =-\frac{1}{2}$

The slope for a perpendicular line is 2.

Fern rounded to the nearest ten to estimate 548-132. She subtracted 540-130 and got 410. Is Fern's estimate correct? Explain.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Fern's estimate is not correct because he rounded 548 wrong, it would be rounded to 550 instead since the number 8 is closer to 10. So the correct answer would be 420.
