Answer:
k = 4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
k² + 7.5² = 8.5²
k² + 56.25 = 72.25 ( subtract 56.25 from both sides )
k² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )
k = = 4
Answer:
2) 162°, 72°, 108°
3) 144°, 54°, 126°
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Multiply the equation by 2sin(θ) to get an equation that looks like ...
sin(θ) = <some numerical expression>
Use your knowledge of the sines of special angles to find two angles that have this sine value. (The attached table along with the relations discussed below will get you there.)
____
2, 3) You need to review the meaning of "supplement".
It is true that ...
sin(θ) = sin(θ+360°),
but it is also true that ...
sin(θ) = sin(180°-θ) . . . . the supplement of the angle
This latter relation is the one applicable to this question.
__
Similarly, it is true that ...
cos(θ) = -cos(θ+180°),
but it is also true that ...
cos(θ) = -cos(180°-θ) . . . . the supplement of the angle
As above, it is this latter relation that applies to problems 2 and 3.
