Answer:

The length of the angle bisector of angle ∠A is 6.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that length of leg AC = 5 ft and the hypotenuse AB = 13 ft.

Using pythagoras theorem

(AB)^2=(BC)^2+(AC)^2

(13)^2=(BC)^2+(5)^2

169=(BC)^2+25

BC=12

\sin A=\frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

\sin A=\frac{BC}{AB}

A=\sin ^{-1}\frac{12}{13}

A=67.38

Bisector divides the angle in two equal parts, therefore,

A'=\frac{67.38}{2} =33.69

In triangle ACD.

\cos A'=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

\cos A'=\frac{AC}{AD}

\cos (33.69^{\circ})=\frac{5}{AD}

0.832=\frac{5}{AD}

AD=\frac{5}{0.832} =6.009\approx 6.01

Therefore the length of the angle bisector of angle ∠A is 6.01.

leva [86]

Answer:

t α 1 /r ; t = k/r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Time taken, t varies inverse as rate, r

MATHEMATICALLY,

t α 1 /r

Hence,

t = k/r ;

Where, k is the proportionality constant

Hence, the situation could be expressed as :

t = k/r OR

t α 1 /r
