Answer:

h = (10 ft)(1.428) = 14.28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the height of the nest by h.  This is the vertical side of a triangle.  The horizontal side is 10 ft.

The following relationship is true:

tan 55 degrees = (opposite side) / (adjacent side), and in this case,

tan 55 degrees = h / 10 ft, so that:

h = height of nest = (10 ft)(tan 55 degrees), or

h = (10 ft)(1.428) = 14.28 ft

Answer:

x=32°

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines is a property of all triangles that relates the sides and angles of a triangle. This property states the following:

\frac{sin(a)}{A}=\frac{sin(b)}{B}=\frac{sin(c)}{C}

Where side (A) is the side opposite angle (<a), side (B) is the side opposite angle (<b), and side (C) is the property opposite angle (<c).

Substitute each of the sides and respective angles into the formula, and solve for the unknown angle (<x). Please note that a triangle with two congruent sides (referred to as an isosceles triangle) has a property called the base angles theorem. This states that the angles opposite the congruent sides in an isosceles triangle are congruent. Therefore, there can be two (<x)'s in this triangle.

\frac{sin(a)}{A}=\frac{sin(b)}{B}=\frac{sin(c)}{C}

\frac{sin(x)}{10}=\frac{sin(116)}{17}=\frac{sin(x)}{10}

One can shorten the equation so it only holds the parts that will play a role in solving this equation,

\frac{sin(x)}{10}=\frac{sin(116)}{17}

Now take the cross product in this equation to simplify it further,

\frac{sin(x)}{10}=\frac{sin(116)}{17}

17(sin(x))=10(sin(116))

Inverse operations, solve this equation for (x),

17(sin(x))=10(sin(116))

sin(x)=\frac{10(sin(116))}{17}

x=sin^-^1(\frac{10(sin(116))}{17})

x=31.91782...

x\approx32

6. Find the missing value. Show your work.
VLD [36.1K]
For the 51-deg angle, y is the opposite leg, and 12 is the hypotenuse.
The trig ratio that relates the opposite leg and the hypotenuse is the sine.

sin A = opp/hyp

sin 51 deg = y/12

y = 12 * sin 51 deg

y = 9.3

At the arcade, nick spent 203 tokens on videogames in seven days. each day he spent five more tokens than the previous day. how
Dafna11 [192]

Suppose nick spent x number of tokens on day 1

So he spent x + 5 on day 2

He spent x + 10 on day 3

He spent x + 15 on day 4

He spent x + 20 on day 5

On day 6 he spent x + 25

And on day 7 he spent x + 30

So in all he spent

x + x + 5 + x + 10 + x + 15 + x + 20 + x + 25 + x + 30

= 7x + 105

But total token spent = 203

So

7x + 105 = 203

Subtracting 105 from both sides

7x = 203 - 105

7x = 98

Dividing by 7 on both sides

x = 14

So on third day he spent x + 10

= 14 + 10

= 24 tokens

Tokens spent on day 3 = 24
