A diagonal of a rectangle is 8cm and forms an angle measuring 30 with one side. Find the area of a rectangle
Let's first draw the picture. The diagonal of your rectangle will be a line that goes from the top left corner of your rectangle to the bottom right corner. This line is the hypotenuse of your RIGHT triangle. The problem tells us that the hypotenuse forms a 30 degree angle with on of the sides. We can pick either side, but I chose to pick the side that includes the left side of the rectangle. Now, we have a 30-60-90 right triangle. The base of the triangle is opposite the 30 degree angle, so it will equal x. The hypotenuse is 2x and the height is x√3.
SO, since we know the hypotenuse is 8cm, we know: 8=2x and x=4; x√3=4√3
The area of a rectangle is b*h, so we multiple 4√3*4 to give us 16√3
Hope that helps!
Answer:
x=54
Step-by-step explanation:
these two angles are supplementary to each other. this is because alternate interior angles are congruent, and 2x+42 degrees is supplementary to the alternate interior angle of x-24 degrees. so, we can add these two numbers up and set it equal to 180.
2x+42+x-24=180
3x+18=180
3x=162
x=54
if this question is asking for x, 54 is the answer. if it is asking for the angle measures, plug in 54 for x for each angle and solve.

10. 8x+4y=4. y=mx+b
-8x. -8x
4y=-8x+4
÷4. ÷4. ÷4
y = -2x +1
slope = -2. y-int= 1
11. slope is changing y over changing x
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1) (0,-1) x1 = 0, y1=-1
(-4-(-1))/(-2-0) (-2,-4) x2 = -2, y2 = -4
(-4 + 1) / (-2)
-3/-2 = 3/2 answer is 3/2
12. b because negative cause it flip in x axis and it become flatter because of the fraction.
13. 2y =8-8x
÷2. ÷2 ÷2
y = 4 - 4x
