Answer:

y = 6√3 and x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a 30-60-90 triangle.  The side opposite the 30° angle corresponds to the side of length 1  in the most basic 30-60-90 triangle; the side opp. 60° to the side of length √3; and the hyp. to the side of length 2.

To find y, write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

adj side           adj side      (adjacent to the 30° angle)

    y                       √3

 hypo               hypo    then (cross multiplying):  2y = 12√3, and

    12                     2       y = 6√3

If the hypo here is 12 and the adj side (y) is 6√3, then we can use the Pyth. Theorem to find the third side (x):

[12]² = [6√3]² - x²  ↔ 144 = 36(3) - x²   ↔  36 = x².  So x = 6 here.

Answer:

x = 6

y ≈ 10. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for x and y since the angle is known and it is a right angle triangle.

hypotenuse = 12

adjacent = x

opposite = y

cos 60° = adjacent/hypotenus

cos 60° = x/12

cross multiply

x = 12 cos 60°

x = 12 × 0.5

x = 6

Finding y

sin 60° = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 60° = y/12

cross multiply

y = 12 sin 60°

y  = 12 × 0.8660254038

y =  10.392304845

y ≈ 10. 40

A box contains a collection of triangular and square tiles. There are 25 tiles in the box and 84 edges . How many square tiles a
NikAS [45]
This problem here would be a little tricky. Let us take into account first the variables presented which are the following: a collection of triangular and square tiles, 25 tiles, and 84 edges. Triangles and squares are 2D in shape so they give us a variable of 3 and 4 to work on those edges. Let us say that we represent square tiles with x and triangular tiles with y. There would be two equations which look like these:

x + y = 25                    and               4x + 3y = 84

The first one would refer to the number of tiles and the second one to number of edges.

We will be using the first equation to the second equation and solve for one. So if we will be looking for y for instance, then x in the second equation would be substituted with          x = 25 - y           which would look like this:

4 (25 - y) + 3y = 84

Solve.

100 - 4y + 3y = 84
-4y +3y = 84 - 100
-y = -16
-y/-1 = -16/-1
y = 16

Then:
x = 25 -y
x = 25 - 16
x = 9

So the answer is that there are 9 square tiles and 16 triangular tiles.

Plot the vertex, focus, and directrix for the parabola represented by this equation. X=-1/12(y-2)^2+1
alukav5142 [94]

The vertex of the parabola is (1, 2), focus of the parabola is  (-2, 2), and directrix x = 4.

<h3>What is a parabola?</h3>

It is defined as the graph of a quadratic function that has something bowl-shaped.

We have a parabola equation:

\rm x = -\dfrac{1}{12}(y-2)^2+1

The standard form of the parabola:

\rm x = \dfrac{1}{4(f-h)}(y-k)^2+h

(h, k) is the vertex of the parabola and (f, k) is the focus.

\rm x = \dfrac{1}{4(-2-1)}(y-2)^2+1

h = 1, k =2, and f = -2

The directrix is x = 4

Thus, the vertex of the parabola is (1, 2), focus (-2, 2), and directrix x = 4.
