In right triangle RST below, altitude SV is drawn to

Mathematics

Brilliant_brown [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

ST = 12.2

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram of the triangle.

Here, Δ RST, Δ RSV and Δ STV all are right triangles.

If we assume that, ST = x and SR = y, then

From Δ RSV and Δ STV we get,

SV² = RS² - RV² = ST² - VT²

⇒ y² - 4.2² = x² - 10.3²

⇒ x² - y² = 88.45 .......... (1)

Now, from Δ RST, we have

ST² + SR² = RT²

⇒ x² + y² = (10.3 + 4.2)² = 210.25 .............. (2)

Now, adding equations (1) and (2) we get,

2x² = 298.7

⇒ x² = 149.35

⇒ x = 12.2 (Rounded to the nearest tenth}

So, ST = 12.2 (Answer)

Please prove the following trigonometric identity.<br><br>​
Brums [2.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

solution:- from LHS 1-cos²x/sinx

∵ 1-cos²x = sin²x

∴ sin²x /sinx = sinx

from RHS tanx × cosx

∵tanx = sinx×cosx

∴ sinx/ cosx × cosx = sinx

Since, LHS = RHS proved ___

What is the sum of the finite arithmetic series ? 7.6+6.3+5+3.7+2.4+1.1+(-0.2)+(-1.5)
BartSMP [9]

\text{Consider the sum of the finite arithmatic series}\\&#10;\\&#10;7.6+6.3+5+3.7+2.4+1.1+(-0.2)+(-1.5)\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{We know that the sum of the finite arithmatic series }\\&#10;\\&#10;a_1,a_2, a_3, ..., a_n \text{ is given by the formula}\\&#10;\\&#10;S_n=\frac{n}{2}\left ( a_1+a_n \right )\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{here in the given series, we can see that }a_1=7.6, \ a_n=-1.5 \text{ and}\\&#10;\text{the number of terms is, }n=8. \text{ so using above formula, we get}

S_8=\frac{8}{2}\left ( 7.6+(-1.5) \right )\\&#10;\\&#10;=4\left ( 7.6-1.5 \right )\\&#10;\\&#10;=4\left ( 6.1 \right )\\&#10;\\&#10;=24.4

Hence the sum of the finite Arithmetic series is: 24.4
