The image is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

x = 56.44°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image, we can see that this is a right angle triangle which has opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse as sides. Since we want to find the angle x, thus, we can make use of trigonometric ratios.

From the attached image, the side opposite to angle x is 10ft and the hypotenuse is 12 ft.

From trigonometric ratios, we know that, sin x = opposite/hypotenuse

So, sin x = 10/12

x = sin^(-1) (10/12)

x = sin^(-1) 0.8333

x = 56.44°

Find the angles of 22 and 24 thanks
netineya [11]

Answer:

22) 119

24) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

22) 61 + b = 180              <-- supplementary because on the same line

      b = 119                     <-- subtracted 61 from both sides

24) 87 + (6x + 3) = 180        <-- supplementary because on the same line

     87 + 6x + 3 = 180          <-- take out parantheses

     90 + 6x = 180               <-- add like terms

     6x = 90                         <-- subtracted 90 from both sides

     x = 15                            <-- solve for x by dividing 6 from both sides

Does |-13 + 2| equal to |10 + 1|
lesya [120]
Yes, because |-13+2| is |-11| And |10+1| is |11|. Since it’s the absolute value, which is the distance it is from 0, they both are 11. So 11=11
