The length of side AD is 6 cm.

\boxed{ \ The \ Answer \ is \ A \ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We solve this problem using the principle of trigonometric ratio.

Look at the figure.  

Given that the triangle ABC is right-angled at B

  • Length of AB = 12 cm
  • ∠ C = 30°
  • The segment of BD is perpendicular to AC side.

We start from this statement:

“sum of measures of angles in a triangle is 180°.”

In the triangle ABC:

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

∠A + 90° + 30° = 180°

∠A + 120° = 180°

∠A = 180° - 120°

∠A = 60°

See the picture again. The triangle ABD is a right angle at D.  

About angle D:

  • AB is the hypotenuse
  • AD is the adjacent side

Based on trigonometric ratios, the relationship between AD, AB, and angle A is as follows:

\boxed{ \ cos \ A = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \ }

\boxed{ \ cos \ A = \frac{AD}{AB} \ }

\boxed{ \ cos \ 60^0 = \frac{AD}{12} \ }

\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{AD}{12} \ }

\boxed{ \ AD = 12 \times \frac{1}{2} \ }

We get the length of AD is 6 cm.

<u>Note:</u>

\boxed{ \ sin \theta = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \ } \ \boxed{ \ S = O / H \ }

\boxed{ \ cos \theta = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \ } \ \boxed{ \ C = A / H \ }

\boxed{ \ tan \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \ } \ \boxed{ \ T = O / A \ }

\boxed{ \ sin \ 30^0 = cos \ 60^0 = \frac{1}{2} \ }

\boxed{ \ sin \ 45^0 = cos \ 45^0 = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{2} \ }

\boxed{ \ sin \ 60^0 = cos \ 30^0 = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{3} \ }

\boxed{ \ tan \ 30^0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{3} \sqrt{3} \ }

\boxed{ \ tan \ 45^0 = 1 \ }

\boxed{ \ tan \ 60^0 = \sqrt{3} \ }

Which angle is an adjacent interior angle?
Vanyuwa [196]
4 is exterior and 3 is adherent interior angle to angle 4. Adjacent angles are two angles that have a common vertex and a common side but do not overlap. In this case common vertex is N. Common side is LN. Good luck.

A car drove 330 miles in 6 hours at a constant rate. If the car’s rate of travel slows by 10 mph, what is the new, slower rate o
12345 [234]

Answer:

45 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance travelled= 330 miles

           Time taken= 6 h

Lets find out speed of car drove.

Formula; Speed= \frac{Distance}{time}

Speed= \frac{330}{6} = 55\ mph

∴ Car´s speed is 55 mph.

As we have been informed that car´s rate of travel slows by 10 mph

∴ we have to reduce the current speed of car by 10 mph; (55-10)= 45\ mph

The new slower rate of travel is 45 mph.
