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}}.

There are 100 tiles in a word game, and 2 of the tiles are blank. Kiera draws 6 tiles, and none of them are blank.
Kay [80]

Answer:

\frac{1}{47} or around 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to see how many tiles are left.

100 - 6 = 94

So we have 94 tiles. 2 of them are blank, so the chance of one being blank is:

2 / 94 which is \frac{1}{47}

And that is our answer! Hopefully this helps, have a nice day :D

How do the constant of proportionality and slope relate to the unit rate
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

When a relationship is proportional, all y over x ratios simplify to the slope of the line which is the constant of proportionality or the unit rate, with one as a denominator. Example: Consider the equation y = 60x. The slope is 60. The rate of change is 60 units for every one unit.
