Question

I need help with these two questions!! I got 72° for Question 7, I don't know I need help with both of them!! PLEASE HELP!! :)

Answer 1

Answer:

7. 49

8. 10.4

Step-by-step explanation:

7) our hypotenuse is 8, and the side opposite the base of ladder and ground angle is 6, therefore we can use Sin

sin = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(x) = 6/8 = 3/4

sin-1(3/4) = 49

8) using the theorem that alternate exterior angles are congruent

the angle opposite side x is 30

tan = opposite/adjacent

tan(30) = x/18

x = 18tan(30) = 6√(3) = 10.4

you can also use 30-60-90 special right triangles.

the side opposite 30 is x

side opposite 60 is x√(3)

and side opposite 90 is 2x
