sin(48°) = x / 1200ft. Multiply each side by 1200ft.

1200ft × sin(48°) = x.

x = 891.77 ft.

In triangle RST, m∠R > m∠S + m∠T. Which must be true of triangle RST? Check all that apply.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

1. m∠R > 90°

2. m∠S + m∠T < 90°

4. m∠R > m∠T

5. m∠R > m∠S

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>General strategy</h3>
  1. prove the statement starting from known facts, or
  2. disprove the statement by finding a counterexample

Helpful fact:  Recall that the Triangle Sum Theorem states that m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180°.

<u>Option 1.  m∠R > 90°</u>

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding m∠R to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + m∠R > m∠R + m∠S + m∠T

There are two things to note here:

  1. The left side of this inequality is 2*m∠R
  2. The right side of the inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression

2* m∠R > 180°

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

m∠R > 90°

So, the first option must be true.

<u>Option 2.  m∠S + m∠T < 90°</u>

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding (m∠S + m∠T) to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + (m∠S + m∠T) >  m∠S + m∠T + (m∠S + m∠T)

There are two things to note here:

  1. The left side of this inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression
  2. The right side of the inequality is 2*(m∠S+m∠T)

Substituting

180° > 2* (m∠S+m∠T)

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

90° > m∠S+m∠T

So, the second option must be true.

<u>Option 3.  m∠S = m∠T</u>

Not necessarily.  While m∠S could equal m∠T, it doesn't have to.  

Example 1:  m∠S = m∠T = 10°;  By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 160°, and the angles satisfy the original inequality.

Example 2:  m∠S = 15°, and m∠T = 10°;  By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 155°, and the angles still satisfy the original inequality.

So, option 3 does NOT have to be true.

<u>Option 4.  m∠R > m∠T</u>

Start with the fact that ∠S is an angle of a triangle, so m∠S cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠S > 0.

Add m∠T to both sides.

(m∠S) + m∠T > (0) + m∠T

m∠S + m∠T > m∠T

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠T.

So, option 4 must be true.

<u>Option 5.  m∠R > m∠S</u>

Start with the fact that ∠T is an angle of a triangle, so m∠T cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠T > 0.

Add m∠S to both sides.

m∠S + (m∠T) > m∠S + (0)

m∠S + m∠T > m∠S

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠S.

So, option 5 must be true.

<u>Option 6.  m∠S > m∠T</u>

Not necessarily.  While m∠S could be greater than m∠T, it doesn't have to be.  (See examples 1 and 2 from option 3.)

So, option 6 does NOT have to be true.

Given the kite below, if NO = 5 and OM = 12, what is the value of NM?
tester [92]

Answer:

NM = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagorean theorem: a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

a or NO = 5

b or OM = 12

c or NM = ?

plug in what is known:

⇒ 5^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2}

⇒ 25 + 144 = c^{2}

⇒ 169 = c^{2}

square root each side of the equation:

⇒ \sqrt{169} = \sqrt{c^{2} }

solve:

⇒ 13 = c

The function f(x) is shown in the graph.
GenaCL600 [577]

The function f(x) is shown in the graph is (a) an exponential function

<h3>How to determine the function type?</h3>

From the graph, we can see that:

  • The function starts from a base
  • It then increases, exponentially

Only exponential functions have the above features

Hence, the function f(x) is shown in the graph is (a) an exponential function
