EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP STRUGGLING! The triangles in each pair are similar.
1 answer:
Answer: The missing length is 120 {option C}
Step-by-step explanation: What we have in the question is a triangle placed on top of another triangle and as shown in the attached diagram we can separate them into triangles BFC and GFH.
A close observation shows that line BC is parallel to line GH. Hence we have two similar triangles, and we can determine their similarity ratios as follows;
BF/FC = GF/FH
Similarly BF/BC = GF/GH
We can also express the following ratio
FC/FH = BC/GH
Therefore to calculate the missing side, which is GF, we can use the ratio
FC/FH = FB/FG
30/100 = 36/FG
By cross multiplication we now have 30 (FG) = 100 (36)
30FG = 3600
Divide both sides of the equation by 30
FG = 120

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
sin²β + sin²β×tan²β = tan²β
sin²β( 1 + tan²β ) = tan²β
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<u><em>sin²β + cos²β = 1 </em></u>
<u><em /></u> +
=
⇒ tan²β + 1 = sec²β ⇔ 1 + tan²β = sec²β
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 + tan²β =
L.H. = sin²β ( ) = tan²β
R.H. = tan²β
