I think the answer is 69.6
We have:
5(x + 7) = 85 |divide both sides by 5
x + 7 = 17 |subtract 7 from both sides
x = 10
Answer:
y-10 = -1 * x+ (-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Option (2).
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question,
ΔLMN is a right triangle with base LM = 3a units
Hypotenuse MN = 5a
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔLMN,
MN² = LM² + NM²
(5a)² = (3a)² + MN²
25a² - 9a² = MN²
MN = √16a²
MN = 4a
Therefore, vertices of the triangle will be L(0, 0), M(3a, 0) and N(0, 4a).
Option (2) will be the answer.
You don't even need the picture to solve this one.
You said that h = 5 cot(Θ) , and you said that Θ is 30 degrees.
All you need now is to find the cotangent of Θ, plop that into the equation,
and the solution practically jumps off the paper into your lap.
To find the cotangent of 30 degrees, you can use a calculator, look it up
in a book, read it off of a slide rule if you have one, draw a picture of a
30-60-90 right triangle etc. You'll find that the cotangent of 30 degrees
is √3 . That's about 1.732 .
So your equation is h = 5 (1.732) = <em>8.66 </em>(rounded)
Apparently, somebody gave you the equation, and asked you to find 'h'.
Once you had the equation, you didn't even need to know that 'h' has
anything to do with a triangle.
