Given is a Right triangle ΔACB with angle ∠ACB = 90 degrees.

Given that CD⊥AB, it means we have two Right triangles ΔCDA and ΔCDB.

Given angle ∠ACD = 30 degrees, it means ∠A = 60° and ∠B = 30°

Given side AC = 6 centimeters.

It says to find BD = ?

<u>In Right triangle ΔCDA</u>; CD is adjacent, AC is hypotenuse, ∠ACD = 30°

Cos(\angle ACD)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\\\Cos(30^o)=\frac{CD}{AC} \\\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} =\frac{CD}{6} \\\\CD = 3\sqrt{3} \;cm

<u>In Right triangle ΔCDB;</u> CD is opposite, BD is adjacent, ∠B = 30°

Tan(\angle B) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\\\Tan(30^o) = \frac{CD}{BD} \\\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}  = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{BD}  \\\\Cross \;\;multiplying \\\\BD = \sqrt{3} * 3\sqrt{3} \\\\BD = 9 \;cm

Hence, final answer is BD = 9 centimeters.

It is 9 because you have a 30,60,90 triangle, and then you can use pythagorean theorem.

They're all d).

1) 28>24=10+14

2) Either 96/8=? or 8*?=96 describe the problem, ? being the number of chairs (the blank square in the answers). Of the two only the first appears in the options.

3) This question is ambiguous: if someone went both days, we could say the total number of people who went to the Saturday and Sunday games would be less than 3271+5844=9115. But who wrote the question likely wanted you to just do the sum between the two numbers, so of all options d is likely what they want you to choose.

Use the graph below to find the equation that it represents.
hoa [83]

Answer:

looking at the image it forms

the equation it'll make B: y= -2x -4

each dot will equal -2 and the dot is maybe one 2 but thats due to the problem of 4-2x1 so it's marked on 2 instead of four incase it throw you off of thy answer of B
