Answer:
A. x = 13
y = (13√3)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle = 30°
Hypotenuse = (26√3)/3
Adjacent = x
Opposite = y
✔️Apply CAH to find x:
Cos 30 = Adj/Hyp
Cos 30 = x/(26√3)/3
√3/2 = x*3/(26√3) (cos 30 = √3/2)
√3/2 = 3x/(26√3)
Cross multiply
2*3x = (26√3)*(√3)
6x = 26*3
6x = 78
x = 78/6
x = 13
✔️Apply SOH to find y:
Sin 30 = Opp/Hyp
Sin 30 = y/(26√3)/3
Sin 30 = y*3/(26√3)
½ = 3y/(26√3) (sin 30 = ½)
Cross multiply
2*3y = (26√3)*1
6y = 26√3
Divide both sides by 6
y = (26√3)/6
y = (13√3)/3
Answer:
Length: 23.38
Width: 3.34
Step-by-step explanation:
First I drew out a diagram so that I could visibly see the problem. [ a rectangle with 7x on one side and x on the other.
So to find the area you multiply length time width and 7x times x is 7x^2. The actual area is given: 78, so you set that equal to 7x^2.
Then you want to divide by 7 to get 11.14. Then you want to take the square root of 11.14 to get 3.338 which rounds to 3.34 {try not to round until the very end]. This gives you the width of the rectangle, so to find the length you would have to multiply x by 7 to get 23.38. When you multiply the length and width (3.34 x 23.38) you get 78.08 which can round to 78.
7x^2 = 78
x^2 = 78/7
x^2= 11.142...
x = sqrt(1.142...)
x = 3.338 --> 3.34 --> width
3.34 x 7 --> 23.38 --> length
3.34 x 23.38 --> 70.8
Use pythagoras teorem
10^2 = 3^2 + x^2
x^2 = 100 - 9 = 91
x = 9.54 feet to nearest hundredth
We have 2 angles that are supplementary, so their sum equals 180⁰.
(4x - 10) + (7x - 8) =180
11x - 18 = 180
11x = 198
x = 18
