Answer:
- angles: 31.42°, 31.42°, 117.16°
- legs: 23.79 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The base angles can be found from the definition of the tangent function:
tan(base angle) = height/(half-base length)
base angle = arctan(12.4/20.3) ≈ 31.418°
Then the apex angle is double the complement of this:
apex angle = 2(90° -31.418°) ≈ 117.164°
The base angles are 31.42°, and the apex angle is 117.16°.
__
The leg lengths can be computed from the Pythagorean theorem applied to the altitude and the half-base length.
leg length = √(12.4² +20.3²) = √565.85 ≈ 23.789 . . . . meters
The length of the legs is about 23.79 m.
Answer:
mRP = 125°
mQS = 125°
mPQR = 235°
mRPQ = 305°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Then:
- measure of arc RP, mRP = mROP = 125°
Given that
- ∠QOS and ∠ROP are vertical angles
Then:
- measure of arc QS, mQS = mROP = 125°
Given that
- ∠QOR and ∠SOP are vertical angles
Then:
Given that
- The addition of all central angles of a circle is 360°
Then:
mQOS + mROP + mQOR + mSOP = 360°
250° + 2mQOR = 360°
mQOR = (360°- 250°)/2
mQOR = mSOP = 55°
And (QOR and SOP are central angles):
- measure of arc QR, mQR = mQOR = 55°
- measure of arc SP, mSP = mSOP = 55°
Finally:
measure of arc PQR, mPQR = mQOR + mSOP + mQOS = 55° + 55° + 125° = 235°
measure of arc RPQ, mRPQ = mROP + mSOP + mQOS = 125° + 55° + 125° = 305°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles 153 and QRP are straight angles, and thus Angle QRP is
180 - 153, or 27 degrees.
The interior angles of the triangle must sum up to 180 degrees:
27 + (3y + 5) + (2y - 7) = 180.
combining like terms, we get:
5y - 25 = 180, or 5y = 155, or y = 31
Then Angle Q is 3(31) + 5, or 93
Angle P is 2(31) - 7, or 55, and
Angle QRP is 27 degrees (found earlier).
