This will involve finding an arctangent.
We'll consider the woman's height as the "opposite" side of a triangle and the shadow as the "adjacent" side.  The angle that the Sun makes equals the arc tangent of that angle.
tan (Sun's angle) = 71" / 36"
tan (Sun's angle) = <span> <span> <span> 1.9722222222 </span> </span> </span>
when we determine the arc tangent of 1.9722222222, it will equal the Sun's angle.
arc tangent of 1.9722222222 = 63.113 degrees

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, and so the Pythagorean Theorem applies.  The legs of this triangle are 3√3 and 3; squaring these gives us 9(3) = 27 and 9.  Then, this Theorem gives us the length of the hypotenuse as

h^2 = 27 + 9, or h^2 = 36, so that h, the length of the hypotenuse, must be 6.

Find the length of GI in the triangle below. Show your work.
love history [14]

Answer:

<u>The length of GI is 90.06 units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

GH = 60 units

HI = 42 units

∠H = 123°

2. Using the Law of Cosines, we can find the length of GI, this way:

GI² = GH² + HI² - 2 * GH * HI * cos ∠H

Replacing with the real values:

GI² = 60² + 42² - 2 * 60 * 42 * cos ∠123°

GI² = 3,600 + 1,764 - 2 * 60 * 42 * -0.545

GI² = 3,600 + 1,764 - 2 * 60 * 42 * -0.545

GI² = 3,600 + 1,764 + 2,746.8

GI² = 8,110.8

<u>GI = √ 8,110.8 = 90.06 units</u>

HELP PLEASEEEE ITS DUE SOON! SHOW YOUR WORK &amp; ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST I PROMISE

Answer:

(2,10) or x=2 y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>1. Pick one of your equations and solve for a variable. I chose the first equation and solved for x.</em>

5x-2y=-10 (Move the -2y to the other side, you need to do the opposite so you add +2y to -10)

5x=2y-10 (Divide the 5 from the x)

x=2/5y-2

<em>2. Now take what you got for x and plug it into the x variable on the other equation.</em>

3(2/5y-2)+6y=66 (Multiply 3 by 2/5y and -2)

6/5y-6=6y=66 (Move the -6 to the other side and add 6/5y to 6y)

36/5y=72 (Since the number on the y is a fraction, you must do the opposite to the other side)

y=72/1 x 5/36 (Flip your fraction and multiply it by the 72)

y=10

<em>3. Now that you have one of the variables solved for, in order to get the other we must plug in what we have to the first equation.</em>

5x-2(10)=-10 (Multiple 2 by 10)

5x-20=-10 (Move -20 to the other side, since you do the opposite add +20 to the -10)

5x=10 ( Divide 10 by 5)

x= 2

<em>4. If needed, plug in the values of x and y to check your solution.</em>

Hope this could help! :)
