Answer: 45</h3>
The value is approximate.
==========================================================
Explanation:
Focus on the upper triangle.
Label the unknown horizontal side as y
Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for y
a^2+b^2 = c^2
10^2 + y^2 = 26^2
100+y^2 = 676
y^2 = 676-100
y^2 = 576
y = sqrt(576)
y = 24
-----------
Now move to the bottom triangle
With respect to the reference angle, the side y = 24 is opposite this. The hypotenuse is unknown.
Use the sine rule to connect the two and solve for x
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(32) = y/x
sin(32) = 24/x
x*sin(32) = 24
x = 24/sin(32)
x = 45.2899179551967 which is approximate
x = 45 rounding to the nearest whole number
Side x is approximately 45 cm long.
Note: make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
Answer: The rate of change decreased.
Step-by-step explanation:
If 3 = (b x 3)
C. 1
Substitute b for the answer choices so
9 x 3 = 27
6 x 3 = 18
1 x 3 = 3
0 x 3 = 0
