BAC ~ DEC what is the value of x?

Answer: x = 37.8

Step-by-step explanation: We start with triangle ABC with two sides given as 15 and 18. We shall make angle C the reference angle and thereby calculate the third side, line BC.

Since we have the opposite side as 15, and the adjacent side (which lies between the reference angle and the right angle) as 18, we can use the tangent of the angle C

Tan C = Opp/Adj

Tan C = 15/18

Tan C = 0.8333

From our table of values/use of the calculator

Tan C = 39.8

Angle C in triangle ACB = Angle C in triangle ECD (Opposite angles are equal).

That takes us to triangle ECD, since the reference angle is known (39.8) and the opposite side is also given (31.5), we can now calculate the adjacent which is side x.

Tan C = Opp/Adj

Tan 39.8 = 31.5/x

when you cross multiply, x moves to the left hand side, while Tan 39.8 moves to the right hand side

x = 31.5/Tan 39.8

x = 31.5/0.8333

<u>x = 37.8</u>

What type of triangle is triangle ABC give reasons for your answer help please I need 1 more mark But I don't know what I'm doin
ladessa [460]

Answer: isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

By the alternate interior angles theorem, \angle CAB=50^{\circ}

Since angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees, \angle ACB=180^{\circ}-80^{\circ}-50^{\circ}=50^{\circ}

Since sides opposite equal angles in a triangle are equal, AB=BC.

So, triangle ABC is <u>isosceles</u>
