Using the law of sines,
sin80°/3.1 = sin∠QSR/2.4
∠QSR = sin^-1(2.4sin80°/3.1)
≈ 49.679°
∠SQR = 180° - 80° - 49.679° (angles in a triangle)
= 50.321°
sin50.321°/RS = sin80°/3.1
RS = (3.1sin50.321°/sin80°)
= 2.4 units (nearest tenth)
The length of line RS is 2.4 units.

Solve the following problem. Round to one decimal place if necessary.

Luda [366]

Answer:

Sinθ = Opposite/hypotenuse

$\sin(21) = \frac{x}{22} \\ 0.358 = \frac{x}{22} \\ x = 22 \times 0.358 \\ x = 7.88$

Find both X's Please show your work!

Hoochie [10]

Right angle=90°.
(X-20) + X = 90.
Then solve for X.
X=55

The sum of two numbers is 14. When one number is added to twice the other number, the result is 25. Find the numbers

ELEN [110]

Let x and y be the two numbers. We have:

$\begin{cases}x+y=14\\x+2y=25\end{cases}$

Subtract the first equation from the second to get

$y=11$

And deduce

$x+11=14 \iff x=3$

The two numbers are 3 and 11.
