HELP PLEASE Solve The right triangle

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bumek [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  • WY = 2.2
  • m∠W = 63.4°
  • m∠Y = 26.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse, given the side lengths.

  WY² = WX² +XY²

  WY² = 2² +1² = 4 +1 = 5 . . . . . fill in the given numbers

  WY = √5

  WY ≈ 2.2

_____

It is convenient to use the tangent relation to find the angles.

  tan(W) = XY/XW = 2/1 = 2

  W = arctan(2) ≈ 63.4°

You can do likewise for angle Y, or you can simply find the complement of angle W. (The acute angles in a right triangle are complements of each other.)

  Y = 90° -W = 26.6°

The angle measures are ...

  • m∠W = 63.4°
  • m∠Y = 26.6°

What is a true statement about negative exponents?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you wanted to know what x^{-2} is.

To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So x^{-2} becomes \frac{1}{x^{2}}.

This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So a^{3} would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase a^{3} to a^{5}, you would have to multiply a with a^{3} two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease a^{5} to a^{2}, you would have to divide a^{5} by a 3 times.

If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: \frac{1}{a^{3}} means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.

Hope this helps.
