Using the Pythagorean theorem
c^2 = a^2 +b^2
C^2 = 12^2 + 8^2
c^2 = 144 +64
c^2 = 208
c= sqrt(208)
c= 14.4 feet
the last one is the correct answer
how I did this is i did 8.5-7=1.5
To get angle Y, you have to do 90 - 27 to get the other angle in the triangle and you get 63. Then you do 180 - (63+51) which is 66.
Angle Y = 66
Answer:
x = 40 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you the triangles are similar and the smaller one is 1/2 the size of the larger one. Then x is half the length of the corresponding segment marked 81.
x = 81/2
x = 40 1/2
___
You may have to write it as 81/2 or as 40.5. Sometimes the answer needs to be in a particular form.
