Answer:

The value of x = 3.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

Sin ∅ = Opposite side /Hypotenuse

From the figure we can see a right angled triangle.

One angle is given, hypotenuse = 10 and height = x.

To find the value of x

sin 20 = Opposite side/hypotenuse = x/10

x = 10 * sin 20

= 10 * 0.342 = 3.42

Therefore the value of x = 3.42

Answer:

Height of the triangle is 3.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a right angle triangle.

In the figure, hypotenuse = 10 , angle= ∅ = 20°

We have to find height of the triangle.

We have to find the height of triangle, in the figure it is represented by x.

As it is right angle triangle we use the following formula to find the value of x.

sin ∅= hypotenuse / height

sin ∅ = 10/x

sin 20= 10/x

x = 10 × sin 20

x = 10× 0.342

x = 3.42

height of the triangle is 3.42.

Segment BD is an altitude of triangle ABC. Find the area of the triangle. Triangle ABC with altitude BD is shown. Point A is at

Where's the "triangle with alt. BD?" This problem can be solved without the diagram, but the solution would be easier with it.

BD is the altitude. Find the length of BD by finding the dist. between (-1,4) and (2,4); it is 2-(-1), or 3. |BD| = 3.

I've graphed the triangle myself and have found that the "base" of the triangle is the vertical line thru (2,1) and (2,6); its length is 6-1, or 5.

Thus, the area of this triangle is A = (b)(h) / 2, or A = (5)(3) / 2 = 10/3 square inches.

If the variance of the water temperature in a lake is 30°, how many days should the researcher select to measure the temperature

Jet001 [13]

Answer: The number of days would be 7 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Variance = 30°

Standard deviation = √30 = 5.47

Mean = 4°

At 95% confidence, z = 1.96
