Answer: the length of the angle bisector of angle ∠A is 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the right angle triangle ABC is shown in the attached photo

Looking at triangle ABC,

cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse side

cos θ = 5/13 = 0.3846

θ = 67.38 degrees

The bisector of an angle divides it into two equal halves. The bisector is represented by line AD.

θ/2 = 67.38/2 = 33.69 degrees

Therefore,

Cos 33.69 = 5/AD

AD × Cos 33.69 = 5

AD = 5/Cos 33.69 = 5/0.832

AD = 6 ft

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

To find c you know that angles on a straight line equal 180° (supplementary angles). So 70+30+∠C=180.

Now we can solve this.

100+c=180.

Move the 100 over to the other side.

100-100+c=180-100

Simplify.

∠C=80°

Because we know that the two lines with double arrows are parallel, we can use the rule that alternate interior angles are congruent. This means that ∠E=70.

∠E=70°

Since the total sum of the angles in a triangle are equal to 180°, we know that ∠D+∠C+∠E=180. Because we already know ∠C and ∠E we can put those numbers in for them. 80°+70°+∠D=180°. Now we can solve this.

80+70+D=180

Simplify this.

150+D=180

Now we move the 150 over to the other side to get D by itself.

150-150+D=180-150

Simplify.

D=30

∠D=30°

Now we can find the vertical angle opposite ∠A by using the alternate interior angles rule again this time using the parallel lines with only one arrow on them. The vertical angle opposite ∠A=30°. Since vertical angles are congruent ∠A=30°.

∠A=30°

We are going to use the alternate angles rule one more time to solve for ∠B (this rule is very important when dealing with parallel lines), we could also use the corresponding angles rule but for simplicity we will just stick with the alternate angles rule. Because the vertical angle opposite ∠A is equal to 30°, we can see that the supplementary angle opposite ∠B=30°. Because this angle is supplementary with B we know that 30+B=180.Now we can solve this.

30+B=180

Now we move the 30 over to the other side.

30-30+B=180-30

Simplify.

B=150

∠B=150°

I hope this helps!

Harman [31]

Answer:

(1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value is represented by using these bars → ║.

║= number of units from 0.

This equation says that whatever number is in the absolute value bars , x , is greater than y.
