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}}.

I need more help thank
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

B. 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similar, therefore,

GM/XD = AG/KX

(x - 2)/6 = (x + 9)/9

Cross multiply

9(x - 2) = 6(x + 9)

9x - 18 = 6x + 54

Collect like terms

9x - 6x = 18 + 54

3x = 72

Divide both sides by 3

x = 72/3

x = 24

Which estimation could be used to make sure the answer is reasonable? Claudia mixed 16.7 pounds of sand with 12.6 pounds of soil
ra1l [238]
The answer for your question is a). Because if you add 12.6 pounds by 16.7 pounds you will get 29.3 as your answer.the estimated answer is 30 and,22.1 estimated is 22.Finally,you just subtract 30 by 22 and you get your answer as 8.

When a survey was conducted among 100 students to find their favorite pizza topping, 45 students voted for pepperoni, 25 for mus
amm1812

Answer:

The central angle for the cheese sector would be 108 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a pi chart takes the form of a circle so the total angle measure is 360 degrees.

Now we want to find out what ratio of the pie chart that cheese takes up and apply it to the total degree measure.

30 of 100 students voted for cheese:

so the ratio would be 30/100 or 3/10

Now apply that to the total angle measure:

3/10*360 degrees= 108 degrees.
