Answer:
Angle A must be acute.
Explanation:
Both angle A and C must be acute. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°.
An obtuse angle is more than 90°, so the sum of the remaining 2 angles has to be less than 90°.
Note that it is impossible to have:
<span>2 right angles in a triangle, because <span>90°+90°=180</span>° and the third angle still needs to be added.1 obtuse and 1 right angle in a triangle, their sum is more than 180°2 obtuse angles in a triangle, their sum is more than 180°</span>
It is possible to have an obtuse-angled isosceles triangle, but the vertex angle must be obtuse and the equal base angles will be acute.
Answer:
is at a distance of 722 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the angle that forms between the water and the imaginary line between the ship and the tip of the statue
we have the statue height that would be the opposite leg to our angle and we want to know the distance of the ship to the statue that would be the adjacent leg
we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)
well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legas and the hypotenuse
a: adjacent
o: opposite
h: hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
cos α= a/h
tan α = o/a
it's the tangent
tan α = o/a
we replace the values and solve
tan α = o/a
tan 22.9 = 305/a
a = 305/tan22.9
a = 305/0.4224
a = 722
is at a distance of 722 feet
It was reduced because as you can see on the scale the actual picture has larger spaces between the numbers.
