We need to solve for the angles of the smaller triangle in
order to solve for the angle of the larger triangle which would help us solve
the missing measurement of a side.
Given:
51 degrees.
Cut the triangle into two equal sides and it forms a right
triangle. All interior angles of a triangle sums up to 180 degrees.
180 – 51 – 90 = 39 degrees
39 degrees * 2 = 78 degrees.
Angle Q is 78 degrees.
In the bigger triangle, 4.3 is the hypotenuse. We need to
solve for the measurement of the long leg which is the opposite of the 78
degree angle.
We will use the formula:
Sine theta = opposite / hypotenuse
Sin(78 deg) = opposite / 4.3
Sin(78 deg) * 4.3 = opposite
4.21 = opposite. This is also the height of the triangle.
Area of a triangle = ½ * base * height
A = ½ * 3units * 4.21units
A = 6.315 square units.
Find common denominators. 10 is the common denominator. Multiply 2 to numerator and denominator of -3/5
(-3/5)(2/2) = -6/10
x + 1/10 = -6/10
Isolate the x. Subtract 1/10 from both sides
x + 1/10 (-1/10) = -6/10 (-1/10)
x = -6/10 - 1/10
x = -7/10
-7/10 is your answer for x
hope this helps
<u>Given</u>:
The 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48.
The 12th term in the sequence is 192.
The common ratio is 4.
We need to determine the 10th term of the sequence.
<u>General term:</u>
The general term of the geometric sequence is given by
where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
The 11th term is given is
------- (1)
The 12th term is given by
------- (2)
<u>Value of a:</u>
The value of a can be determined by solving any one of the two equations.
Hence, let us solve the equation (1) to determine the value of a.
Thus, we have;
Dividing both sides by 1048576, we get;
Thus, the value of a is 
<u>Value of the 10th term:</u>
The 10th term of the sequence can be determined by substituting the values a and the common ratio r in the general term , we get;
Thus, the 10th term of the sequence is 12.
