15. Given the side measures, which of the following could form a triangle

The triangle described is of the form SSA. Determine if there is no triangle possible, one triangle possible, or two triangles p

kvv77 [185]

Answer: The way to work this problem is to sketch the SSA-described triangle.

Horizontally, mark a ray stemming from point C, going to the right.

From point C, at an angle of elevation of 20 degrees, draw a segment a = 6.3, ending at point B.

Now, from point B, draw a segment perpendicular to the horizontal ray and label it h, for altitude.

Calculate h = 6.3 sin 20o = 2.1547.

Now imagine that, dangling from point B, you have a segment of length c = 9.3; in fact, put a compass with steel point at B and radius 9.3, and draw a big arc. you'll see that it can intersect the horizontal ray only once; in its swing toward point C, due to c > a, there will be no second intersection of the ray (the arc 'overshoots' the ray).

Thus you see that only one solution exists, and the Law of Sines can be used to solve the triangle:

sin 20 / 9.3 = sin A / 6.3 and this leads to A = 13.4 degrees...and B = 180 - 20 - 13.4 = 146o.

I'll let you solve for b (side AC).

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 7cm shorter than the longer leg. The hypotenuse is 7cm longer then the linger leg. What i

Gelneren [198K]

The shorter leg is 21cm, longer leg is 28 cm and hypotenuse is 35cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The longer leg = x

The shorter leg = x-7

Hypotenuse = x+7

Using Pythagoras theorem;

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(x-7)^2+(x)^2=(x+7)^2\\x^2-14x+49+x^2=x^2+14x+49\\2x^2-14x+49-x^2-14x-49=0\\x^2-28x=0\\x(x-28)=0\\$

Either,

x= 0

Or,

x-28=0 =>x=28

As length cannot be zero, therefore,

Longer side = 28cm

Shorter side = x-7 = 28-7 = 21cm

Hypotenuse = x+7 = 28+7 = 35cm

The shorter leg is 21cm, longer leg is 28 cm and hypotenuse is 35cm.

What is the frequency of the graph of y = 1/3 sin(2x)?

vovangra [49]

Given:

The sine function is:

$y=\dfrac{1}{3}\sin (2x)$

To find:

The frequency of the graph of given function.

Solution:

If a sine function is defined as:

$y=A\sin(Bx+C)+D$

Then, the frequency of the sine function is:

$f=\dfrac{B}{2\pi}$

We have,

$y=\dfrac{1}{3}\sin (2x)$

Here, $B=2$ . So, the frequency of the given function is:

$f=\dfrac{2}{2\pi}$

$f=\dfrac{1}{\pi}$

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Bryson’s dad is 38 years old. If this is four years less than three times Bryson’s age, how old is Bryson?

klemol [59]

Answer:

Bryson’s age is 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> Bryson’s age

we know that

Bryson’s age multiplied by 3 minus 4 must be equal to 38

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$3x-4=38$

solve for x

Adds 4 both sides

$3x=38+4$

$3x=42$

Divide by 3 both sides

$x=14$

therefore

Bryson’s age is 14 years

A multiple-choice test contains 10 questions. There are four possible answers for each question. a) In how many ways can a stude

AnnZ [28]

Answer :

<h3> $4^{10}$ <u> =1048576 ways </u> a student can answer the questions on the test if the student answers every question.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a multiple-choice test contains 10 questions and there are 4 possible answers for each question.

∴ Answers=4 options for each question.

<h3>To find how many ways a student can answer the given questions on the test if the student answers every question :</h3>

Solving this by product rule

Product rule :

<u>If one event can occur in m ways and a second event occur in n ways, the number of ways of two events can occur in sequence is then m.n</u>

From the given the event of choosing the answer of each question having 4 options is given by

The 1st event of picking the answer of the 1st question=4 ,

2nd event of picking the answer of the 2nd question=4 ,

3rd event of picking the answer of the 3rd question=4

,....,

10th event of picking the answer of the 10th question=4.

It can be written as by using the product rule

$=4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4$

$=4^{10}$

$=1048576$

<h3>∴ there are 1048576 ways a student can answer the questions on the test if the student answers every question.</h3>
