Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Tan means tangent. The tangent is the ratio of the opposite side of the angle to the adjacent side of the angle.

If we look across from angle C, we see that the opposite side is 5.

The adjacent side is the one next to the angle, and it can't be the hypotenuse (the diagonal one). Our adjacent side is 13.

So, the tangent of C is 5/13, and we can divide these, giving us about D. 0.38.

Have a wonderful day! :D

QUESTION 1

When the plane reaches an altitude of 360,000 feet, the temperature outside the plane is 65 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.

This means that the temperature will be:

$0-65=-65$

The temperature is -65°F.

QUESTION 2

If the temperature gets warmer by 10 degrees, this means that the new temperature will be the sum of the original temperature and 10 degrees:

$\Rightarrow-65+10=-55$

The temperature is -55°F.

Can somebody help me, please?

Answer:

a. $x=10 \textdegree$

$m\angle L=39\textdegree\\\\m\angle M=51\textdegree\\\\m\angle K=90\textdegree$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We know that angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

-The right angle triangle in the right triangle has a measure of 90°.

We can therefore equate our angles to 180° and solve for x;

$180=\perp\angle+(2x+19)+(3x+21)\\\\180=90+(2x+19)+(3x+21)\\\\90=5x+40\\\\5x=50\\\\x=10\textdegree$

Hence, the angle measure is x=10°

b. Having calculated the value of x from a above as x=10°, we can substitute to find the measures of the two acute angles:

$m\angle L=(2x+19)\textdegree\\\\=(2\times 10+19)\textdegree\\\\=39\textdegree\\\\m\angle M=(3x+21)\textdegree\\\\=(3\times 10+21)\textdegree\\\\=51\textdegree$

Since, the m∠K is a right angle, it measures 90°
