In six seconds,a total of 3 waves crash onto the shore of the beach .

The distance between each wave crest on the water is 8 meters.

Wave length is the length between two wave crests that is the distance between two wave crests.

We know distance between each wave crest is 8 meters

Total of 3 wave crests, the distance between first and second wave crest is 8 meters

the distance between second and third wave crest is 8 meters

So wave length = 8+8 = 16 meters

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8}}

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle has a small square, which represents a right angle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Where <em>a</em> and <em>b </em> are the legs of the triangle and <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse.

In this triangle, 7 and √15 are the legs, because these sides make up the right angle. The unknown side is the hypotenuse, because it is opposite the right angle. So, we know two values:

a= 7 \\b= \sqrt{15}

Substitute these values into the formula.

(7)^2+(\sqrt{15})^2=c^2

Solve the exponents.

  • (7)²= 7*7=49

49+ (\sqrt{15})^2=c^2

  • (√15)²=√15*√15=15

49+15=c^2

Add.

64=c^2

Since we are solving for c, we must isolate the variable. It is being squared and the inverse of a square is the square root. Take the square root of both sides.

\sqrt{64}=\sqrt{c^2} \\\sqrt{64}= c\\8=c

The third side length is <u>8.</u>

Find the Measure of angle O<br> (see image)<br> Only real answers, please
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

From the given figure we can see that :---

MN||PO, MN=PO and MP=NO

Therefore, angle M=angle N (adjacent sides of the trapezoid)

(8x - 16)  =  (6x + 20) \\ 2x = 36 \\  \boxed{x = 18}

angle M=angle N= (6×18)+20=108+20 =128°

angle O =(180°-128°)=52°

<h3>Hence, angle O is <u>52°.</u></h3>
