Check the picture below
notice, using the 30-60-90 rule, since that triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle, we get 11 = 2x
The answer to the problem is 5
Answer:
(5x + 6) (x + 7)
Step By Step Explanation:
Use the sum form to the product.
5
Explanation:
The Law of Sines is your friend, as is the Pythagorean theorem.
Label the unmarked slanted segments "a" and "b" with "b" being the hypotenuse of the right triangle, and "a" being the common segment between the 45° and 60° angles.
Then we have from the Pythagorean theorem ...
b² = 4² +(2√2)² = 24
b = √24
From the Law of Sines, we know that ...
b/sin(60°) = a/sin(θ)
y/sin(45°) = a/sin(φ)
Solving the first of these equations for "a" and the second for "y", we get ...
a = b·sin(θ)/sin(60°)
and ...
y = a·sin(45°)/sin(φ)
Substituting for "a" into the second equation, we get ...
y = b·sin(θ)/sin(60°)·sin(45°)/sin(φ) = (b·sin(45°)/sin(60°))·sin(θ)/sin(φ)
So, we need to find the value of the coefficient ...
b·sin(45°)/sin(60°) = (√24·(√2)/2)/((√3)/2)
= √(24·2/3) = √16 = 4
and that completes the development:
y = 4·sin(θ)/sin(φ)
