Answer: x is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

This is ratio

a : c = b : x and d : unknown

a : c = 9 : 12 = 3 : 4 which is 9/12

b : x = 15 : x which is 15 / x

So the proportion will be :

3/4 = 15/x

So Cross multiplying

3x = 90

Divide both side by 3

x = 90/3

x = 20

To find the measure of ∠A in ∆ABC, use the___(Pythagorean Theorem, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines). To find the length of side HI

nadya68 [22]

Part 1) To find the measure of ∠A in ∆ABC, use

we know that

In the triangle ABC

Applying the law of sines

$\frac{a}{sin\ A}=\frac{b}{sin\ B}=\frac{c}{sin\ C}$

in this problem we have

$\frac{a}{sin\ A}=\frac{b}{sin\ theta}\\ \\a*sin\ theta=b*sin\ A\\ \\ sin\ A=\frac{a*sin\ theta}{b} \\ \\ A=arc\ sin (\frac{a*sin\ theta}{b})$

therefore

the answer Part 1) is

Law of Sines

Part 2) To find the length of side HI in ∆HIG, use

we know that

In the triangle HIG

Applying the law of cosines

$g^{2}=h^{2}+i^{2}-2*h*i*cos\ G$

In this problem we have

g=HI

G=angle Beta

substitute

$HI^{2}=h^{2}+i^{2}-2*h*i*cos\ Beta$

$HI=\sqrt{h^{2}+i^{2}-2*h*i*cos\ Beta}$

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

Law of Cosines

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

What divided by 60 equals 10? In other words, you have an unknown number (X), and then if you divide that X by 60 you get 10. Then what is that X? Therefore, the answer to what divided by 60 equals 10 is 600.
