Answer:

\displaystyle 89,91969885°, 90,08030115° ≈ x

Step-by-step explanation:

In this SOMEWHAT right triangle, we need to use the <em>Law</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>Sines</em><em> </em>to solve for the <em>m</em>∠<em>X</em>:

Solving for <em>Angle Measures</em>

\displaystyle \frac{sin∠C}{c} = \frac{sin∠B}{b} = \frac{sin∠A}{a}

* In the end, you must use the inverse function, or else you will throw off your answer − \displaystyle arcsin\:[or\:sin^{-1}].

Solving for <em>Sides</em>

\displaystyle \frac{c}{sin∠C} = \frac{b}{sin∠B} = \frac{a}{sin∠A}

Alright. Let us solve this triangle:

\displaystyle \frac{sin\:67,38°}{24} = \frac{sin∠X}{26} → \frac{[sin\:67,38°][26]}{24} = sin∠X \\ \\ \\ -arcsin\:\frac{[sin\:67,38°][26]}{24} + 180° ≈ 90,08030115° \\ arcsin\:\frac{[sin\:67,38°][26]}{24} ≈ 89,91969885° \\ \\ OR \\ \\ -sin^{-1}\:\frac{[sin\:67,38°][26]}{24} + 180° ≈ 90,08030115° \\ sin^{-1}\:\frac{[sin\:67,38°][26]}{24} ≈ 89,91969885°

* This is an extra step further because we are dealing with an actual right triangle, therefore the <em>m</em>∠<em>X</em><em> </em>will have two angle measures.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Answer:

  X = 89.92° or 90.08°

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines can be used to find the value of angle X:

  sin(X)/26 = sin(67.38°)/24

  sin(X) = (26/24)sin(67.38°) ≈ 0.99999901787

There are two values of X that have this sine:

  X = arcsin(0.99999901787) ≈ 89.92°

  X = 180° -arcsin(0.99999901787) ≈ 90.08°

There are two solutions: X = 89.92° or 90.08°.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

We suspect that the angle is supposed to be considered to be 90°. However, the given angle is reported to 2 decimal places, so we figure the requested angle should also be reported to 2 decimal places.

The lengths of the short side that correspond to the above angles are 10.03 and 9.97 units. If the short side were considered to be 10 units, the triangle would be a right triangle, and the larger acute angle would be ...

  arcsin(24/26) ≈ 67.38014° . . . . rounds to 67.38°

This points up the difficulty of trying to use the Law of Sines on a triangle that is actually a right triangle.

First, you put the triangles in a ratio
Then, you ask yourself "what do I have to divide seven by to get 5" so you do 7.5/5 to get that answer (which is to divided by 1.5)
Then, on the other side, you divide 22.5 by 1.5 as well

Miguel collected aluminum cans for recycling. He collected a total of 150 cans. If 58% of the cans he collected were soda cans h
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Given:

• Total number of cans collected = 150

,

• Percent of cans that were soda = 58%

Let's find the number of other cans he collected.

To find the number of other cans, since the percent of soda is 58%, let's find the pecent of other cans.

Percent of other cans = 100% - 58% = 42%

The percent of other cans collected was 42%.

Now, to find the number of other cans collected, let's find 42% of the total number of cans collected 150.

We have:

42\text{ \% }\ast150\Longrightarrow0.42\times150=63

Therefore, the number of other cans collected is 63 cans.

ANSWER:

63 cans

The length of a rectangle is one more that three times its width. If the perimeter is 42 inches, find the dimensions of the rect
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Let w=width
L= length
3w+1=l
Perimeter -2(l+w)
2(W+3w+1)=42
Divide both sides by 2
W+3w+1=21
Subtract 1
W+3w=20
Add like terms
4w=20
Divide both sides by 4
W=5
The width is 5 inches

3w+1=l
Input the width into the equation
3(5)+1=l
15+1=l
16=l
The length of the rectangle is 16 inches

The rectangle is 5 x 16 inches
