How to find x using trigonometry

Sine of the angle = opposite side over the hypotenuse

sin(42°) = 6.5/h
rearrange, solve for h
h = 6.5/sin(42°)
h = 9.7 cm

For the other triangle, the angle is unknown. I'd split it into two right triangles; down angle x since it is an isosceles it will be bisected into two equivalent triangles.

The hypotenuse we just found is now split in half. 9.7/2 = 4.9 base of the new smaller right triangle.

The new hypotenuse of the smaller triangle is 7.4 cm

Then you have..

sin(x/2) = 4.9/7.4
sin(x/2) = 0.67
use inverse sine function
arcSin(0.67) = x/2
41 = x/2
82° = x

There are many ways to solve this problem. This is just what I thought of first using trig.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Matt is ordering basketball jerseys For his country's league. Last year he ordered 512 jerseys. 64 those jerseys were orange.

The ratio of all Jerseys to Jerseys that are Orange =

512 : 64

8 : 1

Step 2

If he ordered 600 jerseys this year, how many of them will be Orange if the ratio of orange jerseys to all the jerseys remain the same?

Since we are maintaining the ratio in step 1

Let the number of orange jerseys = x

600 : x = 8 : 1

Hence

600/x = 8/1

Cross Multiply

8 × x = 600 × 1

8x = 600

x = 600/8

x = 75

Therefore, this year, the number of orange jerseys = 75
