Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the easiest way is the Euclid's algorithm

$36=27(1)+9\\\\27=9(3)+0$

so 9 is the GCF

if you don't know the Euclid's algorithm

we first need to factorize 27 and 36

$27=3*9=3*3*3=3^{3}$

$36=2*18=2*2*9=2*2*3*3=2^{2}*3^{2}$

and the common factor is 3

and the highest common exponent is 2 (of the factor 3)

so the GCF= $3^{2} =9$

as you can see it's easier the Euclid's algorithm

Find X Simplify answer type exact number or use radicals as needed

On a right triangle, to find one missing side you can use this equation
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are the sides next to the right angle, and c is the hypotenuse (side not connected to right angle).

You first need to find the length of the dotted line before finding x. This is because to be able to use the above formula, you have to know the length of two out of three of the sides.

To solve the length of the dotted line, note that it also makes a triangle with the 5 unit line and the 5 √5 unit line. You can plug these numbers into the formula.
(5)^2+b^2=(5 √5)^2
25+b^2=125
b^2=100
b=10

Now that you know the length of the dotted line is 10 units, you can now solve for x

(20)^2+(10)^2=x^2
400+100=x^2
500=x^2
x= √500, which equals 22.361

Given the measures a = 10, b = 40, and A = 30°, how many triangles can possibly be formed?

arlik [135]

Answer:

no triangle can be formed with the given values (i.e 0 triangle).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

length of side a, = 10

length of side b, = 40

angle A, = 30°

Apply sine rule to determine the angle of the second side (B);

$\frac{sin \ A}{a} = \frac{sin \ B}{b} \\\\\frac{sin \ 30^0}{10} = \frac{sin \ B}{40}\\\\sin \ B = 40(\frac{0.5}{10} )\\\\sin \ B = 2$

The maximum sine function is 1, there is no sine function that will be equal to 2, so there is no triangle that can be formed with the given values.
