What is the length of s?​

Mathematics

Answer:

s = 16.97 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trigonometry to figure out the lengths of the sides.

Look at the 45 degree angle. We can use the opposite side (12) and the hypotenuse (s) to solve for s.

Opposite and hypotenuse is sine, so we are using sine. The sine of 45 degrees is 0.70710678118. Make an equation like so:

  • 0.70710678118 = \frac{12}{s}, and we are solving for s.

Put a 1 in the denominator of sine(45 degrees) so you can cross-multiply.

  • \frac{0.70710678118}{1} =\frac{12}{s}

Cross multiply.

  • 0.70710678118s = 12

Divide both sides by sine(45 degrees).

  • s = 16.97

The length of side s is 16.97 units.

Another way to have done this problem is to use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substitute 12 for a and b and solve for c, the hypotenuse.

  • (12)^2 + (12)^2 = c^2

Evaluate the exponents.

  • 144 + 144 = c^2

Add them together.

  • 288 = c^2

Square root 288 to solve for c.

c = 16.97, which is the same answer as you got using trigonometry.

What is 6m+ 5 - 3m=7 (m-1)<br> Please answer ASAP
ELEN [110]

Step-by-step explanation:

6m+5-3m=7(m-1)

3m+5=7m-1

5+1=7m-3m

6=4m

6/4=m

3/2=m

I think it is correct .

Mr Taylor brought back 180 Euros to the UK. The exchange rate was €1.2 to £1.
solong [7]
The answer is £150.

This could be calculated using proportion. If £1 is €1.2, how many £ is €180:
£1 : €1.2 = x : <span>€180
</span>x = £1 ÷ €1.2 × <span>€180</span>
x = £150

Solve 2x - 11 = k for x.
denis23 [38]
2x + -11 = k

Reorder the terms:
-11 + 2x = k

Solving
-11 + 2x = k

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 11 + 2x = 11 + k

Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + 2x = 11 + k
2x = 11 + k

Divide each side by '2'.
x = 5.5 + 0.5k
