Given that ABC is a right angle triangle with m∠C=90°,  m∠B=75° and AB=12cm.

Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} * base * height

                          = \frac{1}{2} *BC*AC

So we need to find BC,AC now.

To find them let us take sinB and cosB.

SinB = \frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{AC}{12}

AC = 12*sinB = 12*sin(75)

cos B = \frac{BC}{AB}  = \frac{BC}{12}

BC = 12* cos B = 12* cos 75

So, area = \frac{1}{2} * 12 * sin(75)*12* cos(75)

             = 72*sin(75)*cos(75)

             = 36*(2sin(75)cos(75))

             = 36*sin(150) =  18

Hence area of triangle is 18 cm^{2}

The area of \triangle\text{ ABC} is \boxed{\bf 18\text{\bf\ square units}}.

Further explanation:

Given information:

In \triangle\text{ ABC} the measure of \angle\text{C} is 90^{\circ}and measure of \angle\text{B} is 75^{\circ}.

The length of AB is 12\text{ cm}.

The measure of \angle\text{A} can be calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}\angle\text{A}&=180^{\circ}-(\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C})\\&=180^{\circ}-(75^{\circ}+90^{\circ})\\&=180^{\circ}-165^{\circ}\\&=15^{\circ}\end{aligned}

The \triangle\text{ ABC} is shown in Figure 1.

Consider the length of the perpendicular of \triangle\text{ ABC} as x and the length of the base as y.

The perpendicular length x is calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}\sin 75^\circ&=\frac{x}{{12}}\\ \frac{{\sqrt3+1}}{{2\sqrt2}}&=\frac{x}{{12}}\\ \frac{{\sqrt3+1}}{{2\sqrt2}}\times12&=x\\ \frac{{6\left({\sqrt3+1}\right)}}{{\sqrt2}}\times\frac{{\sqrt2}}{{\sqrt2}}&=x\\ x&=3\sqrt 2\left({\sqrt3+1}\right)\\ \end{aligned}

The base length y is calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}\sin 15^\circ&=\frac{y}{{12}}\\\frac{{\sqrt3-1}}{{2\sqrt2}}&=\frac{y}{{12}}\\ \frac{{\sqrt3-1}}{{2\sqrt2}}\times12&=y\\ \frac{{6\left({\sqrt3-1}\right)}}{{\sqrt2}}\times\frac{{\sqrt 2}}{{\sqrt 2}}&=y\\ y&=3\sqrt2\left({\sqrt3-1}\right)\\ \end{aligned}

Area of right angled triangle is calculated as follows:

\boxed{\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{Base}\cdot \text{Perpendicular}}

The length of base of the triangle is 3\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}-1) units and length of perpendicular is 3\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}+1) units.

Now, the area of \triangle\text{ ABC} is calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text{Area}&=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \left[3\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)\right]\cdot \left[3\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)\right]\\&=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \left[9\cdot 2\left((\sqrt{3})^{2}-1\right)\right]\\&=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 18\cdot 2\\&=18 \end{aligned}

Thus, the area of \triangle\text{ ABC} is \boxed{\bf 18\text{\bf\ square units}}.

What is the value of f(1)? <br> A. 0<br> B. 1<br> C. 2<br> D. 4
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The value of f(1) is A. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, when they ask what is the value of f(1), they want you to tell them what is the "y" coordinate of the point with the "x" coordinate equal to 1. In our case, the point with the "x" coordinate equal to 1 has the "y" coordinate equal to 0. Therefore, the value of f(1) is A. 0

What's the area of the circle with the diameter of 8
dimaraw [331]

Step-by-step explanation:

General formula for the area of a circle = πr^2.

Since the diameter is 8, the radius is 4 (half of diameter)

So the area is π(4)^2 = 16π.

Jamal deposits $1000 into a savings account on his 18th birthday. If the 2% interest is compounded yearly, how much will he have
dalvyx [7]
The number of years (n) that the deposit stayed in his balance is given by: 65 - 18 = 47 years.

The future value (FV) of a deposit (P), deposited at an interest rate of r% compounded yearly for n years is given by

FV=P(1+r)^n

Given that <span>Jamal deposits P = $1000 into a savings account on for n = 47years at 2% interest compounded yearly, the amount in his bank account at the end of the period is given by

FV=1000(1+0.02)^{47} \\  \\ =1000(1.02)^{47}=1000(2.53634) \\  \\ =\$2,536.34</span>

If a 45 45 90 triangle has the hypothenuse of 10 what would the legs x and y be
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When working with 45-45-90 triangles the hypotenuse is the same as the other legs multiplied by root 2. Therefore if you need to find the legs and already have the hypotenuse, divide the hypotenuse by root 2.

10/ sqrt(2) = 7.1 is the rounded answer.

to double check your work just multiply 7.1 by the square root of 2 and you'll get <em>close</em> to 10. (because the answer is rounded and not exact.)
