Answer:

θ ≈ 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, sinθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

cosθ = $\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

tanθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

In the picture attached,

Measures of adjacent side and opposite side of the triangle have been given. Therefore, tangent rule will be applied in the given triangle.

tanθ = $\frac{19}{23}$

θ = $\text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{19}{23})$

θ = 39.56

θ ≈ 40°

Answer for the first one - it's complicated, but that maths is correct

I kind of cheated and did it a different way than they'd expect. By doing 24 squared, that gives you 576.

since both angles are 45 degrees, then the sides are equal lengths. Therefore x squared times 2 = 576.

Because of this, x squared = 576 divided by 2, which equals 288.
Therefore the square root of 288 = 12 square root 2

General Idea:

(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find

(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem

(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.

(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE

Applying the concept:

Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse

Statement 1: "The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

$Length \; of\; the \; pen = x\\ Width \; of\; the\; pen=x+3$

------

Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"

$Area \; of\; the\; Dog \; house=y\\ Perimeter \; of\; Dog\; house=y$

------

Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."

$Area \; of \; the\; Pen - Area \;of \;the\;Dog \;House=\;Space\;inside\;Pen\\ \\ x \cdot (x+3)-y=178\\ Distributing \;x\;in\;the\;left\;side\;of\;the\;equation\\ \\ x^2+3x-y=178\Rightarrow\; 1^{st}\; Equation\\$

------

Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."

$Perimeter\; of\; the\; Pen=3\; \cdot \; Perimeter\; of\; the\; Dog\; House\\ \\ 2(x \; + \; x+3)=3 \cdot y\\ Combine\; like\; terms\; inside\; the\; parenthesis\\ \\ 2(2x+3)=3y\\ Distribute\; 2\; in\; the\; left\; side\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6=3y\\ Subtract \; 6\; and \; 3y\; on\; both\; sides\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6-3y-6=3y-3y-6\\ Combine\; like\; terms\\ \\ 4x-3y=-6 \Rightarrow \; \; 2^{nd}\; Equation\\$
