Answer:
13. x = 52.8°
14. 663.65 ft
15. 30.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relations between sides of a right triangle and trig functions of the acute angles.
__
<h3>13.</h3>
The sides adjacent and opposite the angle are marked. The relevant trig relation is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(x°) = 2.5/1.9
The angle is found using the inverse tangent function:
x° = arctan(2.5/1.9) ≈ 52.8°
__
<h3>14.</h3>
Again, the tangent relation comes into play. The given values are the side opposite and the angle, and we are asked for the side adjacent.
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(11°) = (129 ft)/(distance to shore)
distance to shore = (129 ft)/tan(11°)
distance to shore ≈ 663.65 ft
__
<h3>15.</h3>
In this scenario, the given angle is opposite the given side of the triangle. The measure of the hypotenuse is needed.
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(71°) = (29 ft)/(ladder length) . . . . substitute given information
ladder length = (29 ft)/sin(71°) . . . . . . solve for ladder length
ladder length ≈ 30.7 ft
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.

Answer:
w = 31
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of w:
We know that the three angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees
w + w + (4w-6) =180
Add like terms
6w-6 = 180
Add 6 to each side
6w -6+6 =180+6
6w = 186
Divide each side by 6
6w/6 = 186/6
w = 31
Answer: 70
Step-by-step explanation: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. Since absolute value is a distance, it is always greater than or equal to zero.
