Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the three angles in a triangle must be $180$ . Since this triangle has a right angle, we know that it is $90$ °, so the sum of the remaining two angles must be $90$ .

We can set up an equation for the two remaining angles to determine the value of $x$ :

$(x + 28) + x = 90$

$2x + 28 = 90$

$2x = 62$

$x = 31$

Answer:

x = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

x + x + 28 + 90 = 180

2x + 118 = 180

2x = 62

x = 31

What is the measurement of the longest line segment in a right rectangular prism that is 26 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 2 in

EastWind [94]

Answer:

$6\sqrt{19} \approx 26.153$ inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest line segment in a right rectangular prism is the diagonal that connects two opposite vertices. On the first diagram attached, the green line segment connecting A and G is one such diagonals. The goal is to find the length of segment $\mathsf{AG}$ .

In this diagram (not to scale,) $\mathsf{AB} = 26$ (length of prism,) $\mathsf{AC} = 2$ (width of prism,) $\mathsf{AE} = 2$ (height of prism.)

Pythagorean Theorem can help find the length of $\mathsf{AG}$ , one of the longest line segments in this prism. However, note that this theorem is intended for right triangles in 2D, not the diagonal in a 3D prism. The workaround is to simply apply this theorem on two different right triangles.

Start by finding the length of line segment $\mathsf{AD}$ . That's the black dotted line in the diagram. In right triangle $\triangle\mathsf{ABD}$ (second diagram,)

Segment $\mathsf{AD}$ is the hypotenuse.
One of the legs of $\triangle\mathsf{ABD}$ is $\mathsf{AB}$ . The length of $\mathsf{AB}$ is $26$ , same as the length of this prism.
Segment $\mathsf{BD}$ is the other leg of this triangle. The length of $\mathsf{BD}$ is $2$ , same as the width of this prism.

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangle $\triangle\mathsf{ABD}$ to find the length of $\mathsf{AB}$ , the hypotenuse of this triangle:

$\mathsf{AD} = \sqrt{\mathsf{AB}^2 + \mathsf{BD}^2} = \sqrt{26^2 + 2^2}$ .

Consider right triangle $\triangle \mathsf{ADG}$ (third diagram.) In this triangle,

Segment $\mathsf{AG}$ is the hypotenuse, while
$\mathsf{AD}$ and $\mathsf{DG}$ are the two legs.

$\mathsf{AD} = \sqrt{26^2 + 2^2}$ . The length of segment $\mathsf{DG}$ is the same as the height of the rectangular prism, $2$ (inches.) Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangle $\triangle \mathsf{ADG}$ to find the length of the hypotenuse $\mathsf{AG}$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathsf{AG} &= \sqrt{\mathsf{AD}^2 + \mathsf{GD}^2} \\ &= \sqrt{\left(\sqrt{26^2 + 2^2}\right)^2 + 2^2}\\ &= \sqrt{\left(26^2 + 2^2\right) + 2^2} \\&= 6\sqrt{19} \\&\approx 26.153\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, the length of the longest line segment in this prism is $6\sqrt{19} \approx 26.153$ inches.

In a right triangle ABC, C is the right angle. What does cosB equal?

Montano1993 [528]

Given that,

ABC is a right angle triangle, C is the right angle.

To find,

cosB = ?

Solution,

The sum of angle of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. So,

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

Put ∠C = 90°

∠A + ∠B + 90° = 180°

∠A + ∠B = 90°

Taking cos with each term.

cosA+cosB = cos (90)

cosA+cosB = 0

cosB=-sinA

Hence, cosB = sinA.

The measure of an angle is 14.2°. What is the measure of its complementary angle

grigory [225]

Complementary angles are the angles whose sum makes 90 degrees. According to the question, the other angle is 14.2 degrees more than the complementary angle. Therefore, 14.2° will be added to the other angle.

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints (5,-9) and (-2,-2)

QveST [7]

Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)$

So the midpoint of your segment is

$\left(\frac{5+(-2)}{2},\frac{-9+(-2)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{2} \right)$

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.
