In a right triangle, Sin (30 + x) º = Cos (3x) º. What is the value of x?
pogonyaev

Answer:

x=15^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle:

\sin \theta =cos(90^\circ-\theta) $ (Complementary angles)

Therefore, given:

Sin (30 + x) \º = Cos (3x) \º\\30+x+3x=90^\circ\\30+4x=90^\circ\\4x=90^\circ-30^\circ\\4x=60^\circ\\$Divide both sides by 4\\x=15^\circ

A regular heptagon has a radius of approximately 27.87 cm and the length of each side is 24.18 cm. what is the approximate area
aniked [119]

The area of the regular heptagon which has a radius of approximately 27.87 cm and the length of each side is 24.18 cm is 2125 cm².

<h3>What is the area of a heptagon?</h3>

Heptagon is the closed shape polygon which has 7 sides and 7 interior angles.

The area of the regular heptagon is found out using the following formula.

A=\dfrac{7a}{4}\cot \left(\dfrac{180}{7}\right)

Here, (<em>a</em>) is the length of the heptagon.

A regular heptagon has a radius of approximately 27.87 cm and the length of each side is 24.18 cm. Put the value of side in the above formula,

A=\dfrac{7\times24.18}{4}\cot \left(\dfrac{180}{7}\right)\\A\approx 2125\rm\; cm^2

Hence, the area of the regular heptagon which has a radius of approximately 27.87 cm and the length of each side is 24.18 cm is 2125 cm².
