The hypotenuse of the triangle is 29.23 cm long

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that In a right triangle, angle A measures 20^{\circ}

The side opposite angle A is 10 centimeters long

Let a right triangle ABC having right angled at B

According to question, angle A is 20^{\circ}

We know by angle sum property of triangle, the sum of all the angles of the triangle is 180 degree

\begin{array}{l}{A^{\circ}+B^{\circ}+C^{\circ}=180^{\circ}} \\\\ {20^{\circ}+90^{\circ}+C^{\circ}=180^{\circ}} \\\\ {C^{\circ}=180^{\circ}-110^{\circ}} \\\\ {C^{\circ}=70^{\circ}}\end{array}

\text { We know } \sin \theta=\frac{\text { Perpendicular }}{\text { Hypotenuse }}

\begin{array}{l}{\sin A^{\circ}=(B C) \div(A C)} \\\\ {\sin 20^{\circ}=(10) \div(A C)} \\\\ {0.342=10 \div A C} \\\\ {A C=10 \div(0.342)} \\\\ {A C=29.23 \mathrm{cm}}\end{array}

So, the hypotenuse is 29.23 cm long

Answer:

sin(x) is equal to opposite over hypotenuse, so you can set it up as

sin(20) = 10/x

x = 10/sin(20)

x = 29.2 cm

Two sidewalks in a park are represented by lines on a coordinate grid. Two points on each of the lines are shown in the tables.
algol [13]

Answer:

y = 2x + 1 ;

y - 3 = - 3(x - 1) ; y = - 3x + 6 ;

Independent ;

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Sidewalk 1:

x __ y

2 _ 5

0 _ 1

Sidewalk 2:

x __ y

1 _ 3

3 _ -3

Equation for sidewalk 1 in slope - intercept form:

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + c

c = intercept ; m = slope

m = (change in y / change in x)

m = (1 - 5) / (0 - 2) = - 4 / - 2 = 2

Y intercept ; value of y when x = 0

(0, 1) ; y = 1

Hence, c = 1

y = 2x + 1

Sidewalk 2:

Point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = slope

m = = (-3 - 3) / (3 - 1) = - 6/2 = - 3

Point (x1, y1) = (1, 3)

y - 3 = - 3(x - 1)

To slope intercept form:

y - 3 = - 3(x - 1)

y - 3 = - 3x + 3

y = - 3x + 3 + 3

y = - 3x + 6

Since the slope of both lines are different, intersection will be at single point and will have a single solution. This makes it independent.

Using substitution method :

y = 2x + 1 - - - (1)

y = - 3x + 6 - - - (2)

Substitute (1) into (2)

2x + 1 = - 3x + 6

2x + 3x = 6 - 1

5x = 5

x = 1

From (1)

y = 2(1) + 1

y = 2 + 1

y = 3

Coordinate of the point of intersection = (1, 3)

X and Y are continuous values, both measured to 2 significant figures. X=230 and Y=400. work out the greatest possible value of
kirill115 [55]
"Two significant figures" means that a digit after the second one could actually be anything ... it wasn't measured. 'X' could be anything from 230 to 239. 'Y' could be anything from 400 to 409. The greatest possible value of that fraction is. (239)/(409 squared) .

ASAP I REALLY NEED HELP I WİLL GİVE BRAİNLİEST
GaryK [48]

Answer: Part (a) 218.4 Part (b) 54.6

Step-by-step explanation: Part (a) you multiply all the numbers together, then you get 218.4, there is no need to round to the nearest tenth because the decimal is in tenths. (All you got to do is single digit multiplication and two digit multiplication :) Part (b) multiply 5.2 and 10.5, you get 54.6

You're welcome, hope this helps :)
