Answer: A. 18*sqrt(3)</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
We'll need the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(R) = TH/HR
tan(30) = TH/54
sqrt(3)/3 = TH/54 ... use the unit circle
54*sqrt(3)/3 = TH .... multiply both sides by 54
(54/3)*sqrt(3) = TH
18*sqrt(3) = TH
TH = 18*sqrt(3) which points to <u>choice A</u> as the final answer
----------------------
An alternative method:
Triangle THR is a 30-60-90 triangle.
Let x be the measure of side TH. This side is opposite the smallest angle R = 30, so we consider this the short leg.
The hypotenuse is twice as long as x, so TR = 2x. This only applies to 30-60-90 triangles.
Now use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(TH)^2 + (HR)^2 = (TR)^2
(x)^2 + (54)^2 = (2x)^2
x^2 + 2916 = 4x^2
2916 = 4x^2 - x^2
3x^2 = 2916
x^2 = 2916/3
x^2 = 972
x = sqrt(972)
x = sqrt(324*3)
x = sqrt(324)*sqrt(3)
x = 18*sqrt(3) which is the length of TH.
A slightly similar idea is to use the fact that if y is the long leg and x is the short leg, then y = x*sqrt(3). Plug in y = 54 and isolate x and you should get x = 18*sqrt(3). Again, this trick only works for 30-60-90 triangles.
Answer:
The other side = 13 feets long
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Scale of drawing : 2 inches represents 5 feets
Area of rectangular room according to scale drawing = 24.96 in²
Length of one side of the room = 12 feets
Length of other side = x
Area of rectangle = Length * width
If :
2 inches = 5 feets
x = 12 feets
x = (12 *2) / 5
x = 4.8 inches
Hence,
For the scaled drawing :
4.8 * width = 24.96
Width = 24.96 / 4.8
Width = 5.2 inches
Converting to feets according to scale:
2 inches = 5 feets
5.2 inches = x feets
x = (5.2 * 5 ) / 2
x = 13 feets
Other side is 13 feets long
Answer: 4r = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Ruth bought 4 rulers and each ruler is to be represented by r. She therefore bought:
= 4r
She bought these for a total of $4.00 so the equation then becomes:
4r = 4.00
Equation representing situation is: 4r = 4
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
She needed to subtract 36 from both sides of the equation, instead she added 36 to the right side.
