FIND THE MISSING LENGTH INDICATED

Mathematics
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do is find the hypotenuse of the triangle with side lengths 12 and 16. 12^2 + 16^2 = 144 + 256 = 400. sqrt(400) = 20. So, the hypotenuse of that triangle is 20 units.

Because the smaller length of the smaller triangle bisects the largest triangle's right angle, the two triangles are similar, with the side length 12 corresponding to the smaller side length of the larger triangle, the side length 16 corresponding to the 20 unit side, and the 20 unit hypotenuse corresponding to x.

Now that we know the triangles are similar, we can construct a proportion...

\frac{16}{20} =\frac{20}{x}

That means that 4/5 = 20/x

1/5 = 5/x

x = 25

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x =19.2

y=29.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the law of sines to solve this problem

sinA           sin B

----------- = -------------

a                     b

sin 55        sin 40

--------- = ---------------

24.5            x

Using cross products

x sin 55 = 24.5 sin 40

Divide by sin 55

x = 24.5 sin 40 / sin 55

x =19.22512011

To one decimal place

x =19.2

To find the angle opposite y, we know the three angles of a triangle add to 180

y = (180-40-55) = 85

sin 55        sin 85

--------- = ---------------

24.5            y

Using cross products

y sin 55 = 24.5 sin 85

Divide by sin 55

y = 24.5 sin 85 / sin 55

y =29.79516474

To one decimal place

y=29.8

Ben is building a workshop in his backyard with dimensions as shown in the figure. Ben is planning to air-condition the workshop
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

2160 BTU

Step-by-step explanation:

Ben looks at his plan and realizes that his building can be viewed as a triangular prism sitting on a cube.

Calculating the volume of a cube is easy… Length x Width x Height (LWH)… so 12 x 10 x 8 = 120 x 8 = 960 cubic feet for the cube part.

For the prism, it’s almost the same… but divided by 2 : (LWH)/2, so… (12 x 10 x 2) / 2 = (120 x 2) / 2 = 240 / 2 = 120 cubic feet for the prism part.

Total for the building : 960 + 120 = 1080 cubic feet

Since 2 BTU per cubic foot, the power of the unit needs to be at least  1080 x 2 = 2160 BTU.

Answer:

3/32

Step-by-step explanation:

The first question should be 3/8 as there are 3 "1"s on the spinner. The answer to the last one is "3/32". You take the 3/8 chances to get a one and multiply that by 1/4 to get a "B". Once you multiply you get .09375 which is 3/32 when converted. Please let me know if this is incorrect.
