Answer:
1. ΔXYZ is a right Δ with altitude YU.
Given
2. ΔXYZ ~ ΔYUZ
Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem
3. VW || XY
Given
4. ∠VWZ ≅ ∠XYZ
Corresponding angles
5. ∠Z ≅ ∠Z
Reflexive property of congruence
6. ΔXYZ ~ ΔVWZ
AA Similarity postulate
7. ΔYUZ ~ ΔVWZ
Transitive property of similar triangles
Step-by-step explanation:
The first statement is given in the problem. Since we know the altitude of a right triangle, we can use the Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem to say that the triangles formed by the altitude are similar to each other and the original triangle.
Next, we are given in the problem statement that the lines VW and XY are parallel. Therefore, ∠VWZ and ∠XYZ are corresponding angles, which makes them congruent. And since ∠Z is equal to itself (by reflexive property), we can use AA similarity to say ΔXYZ and ΔVWZ are similar.
Finally, combining statements 2 and 6, we can use transitive property to say that ΔYUZ and ΔVWZ are similar.
Answer: choice B
Angle A = 63 degrees
side a = 13.4
side b = 6.8
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
Given Info:
Angle C = 90 degrees
Angle B = 27 degrees
side c = 15
What is needed to be found:
Angle A, side a, side b
Finding side a
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(B) = BC/AB
cos(B) = a/15
cos(27) = a/15
15*cos(27) = a
13.3650978628256 = a
a = 13.3650978628256
a = 13.4
Finding side b
Using the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(13.3650978628256)^2 + b^2 = 15^2
178.625840882906 + b^2 = 225
178.625840882906 + b^2 - 178.625840882906 = 225 - 178.625840882906
b^2 = 46.374159117094
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(46.374159117094)
b = 6.809857496093
b = 6.8
Finding angle A
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(A) = BC/AB
sin(A) = a/c
sin(A) = 13.3650978628256/15
sin(A) = 0.89100652418838
arcsin(sin(A)) = arcsin(0.89100652418838)
A = 63.0000000000016
A = 63
The solution to the quadratic equation by using a numeric approach
are x = 6.3 and x = -31.3
Given the quadratic function expressed as;
0.02x²+ 0.5x - 4 = 0
Multiply through by 100 to have;
2x² + 50x - 400 = 0
Using the general formula to solve:
x = -50±√2500-4(2)(-400)/2(2)
x = -50±√2500+3200/4
x = -50±75.49/4
x = -31.3 or 6.3
Hence the solution to the quadratic equation by using a numeric approach
are x = 6.3 and x = -31.3
