Answer:

63.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that AB and BC are the legs of the right triangle, then opposite to angle A is side BC and adjacent to angle A is side AB.

By definition, the tangent of angle A is:

tan(∠A) = opposite leg / adjacent leg

tan(∠A) = BC/AB

tan(∠A) = 12/6

∠A = arctan(2)

∠A = 63.4°

An acute triangle has side lengths 21 cm, x cm, and 2x cm. if 21 is one of the shorter sides of the triangle, what is the greate
madam [21]

Given that the sides of the acute triangle are as follows:
21 cm
x cm
2x cm

Stated that 21 cm is one of the shorter sides of the triangle2x is greater than x, so it follows that 2x MUST be the longest side


For acute triangles, the longest side must be less than the sum of the 2 shorter sides
Therefore, 2x < x + 21cm
2x – x < 21cm
x < 21cm

If x < 21cm, then 2x < 42cm
Therefore, the longest possible length for the longest side is 42cm

The points J, K, L and M all lie on the same line segment, in that order, such that the ratio of JK:KL:LMJK:KL:LM is equal to 1:
RideAnS [48]

Answer: JL = 25

Step-by-step explanation: Segment JM is the total measure of the line segment and it equals 45.

Suppose first segment JK measures d.

The total ratio is the sum of each part

d + 4d + 4d = 9d

The sum of each part corresponds to the total measure of the line segment. Then:

9d = 45

d = 5

Segment JL is

JL = d + 4d

JL = 5d

JL = 5.5

JL = 25

Segment JL measures 25 units.
