I need help with this Pythagorean Theorem word problem

Mathematics
1 answer:
frez [133]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

10.63.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to understand pythagorean theorem that is,

Hypotenuse^2=perpendicular^2+base^2.

=7^2+8^2.

=49+64

=113.

Hypotenuse^2=113.

Square root both sides.

Hypotenuse=10.63.

Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB and sin ∠X = 5 over 5 and 59 hundredths.
Vikentia [17]

The relationship between Traingle XYZ and ACB is that they are similar triangles. tanX = tanA = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths, where

  • AC = 2 x  XY
  • CB = 2 x  YZ

<h3>What is the dilation about?</h3>

Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB, hence XYZ and ACB are similar triangles.

Angles Y and C are said to measure 90 degrees, and angles A and X are known to be congruent. Thus:

tanX = tanA = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths

AC = 2 x  XY

CB = 2 x  YZ

Another way to solve for it is by:

Note that Dilation of the triangle ΔXYZ was by a factor of "2".

Since m∠Y = m∠C = 90º   - given

ΔXYZ and ΔACB are said to be right triangles.

Since ∠X ≅ ∠A   - given

Then ∠X and ∠Z are  said to becomplementary angles

Since m∠Z = 90° - m∠X   -- given

Then ∠A and ∠B are said to be complementary angles

Since m∠B = 90° - m∠A  --- given

Then, ∠Z ≅ ∠B

Therefore ΔXYZ ∼ ΔACB are  similar triangles because it has its corresponding sides to be proportional and its corresponding angles to be congruent.

Note:

sin ∠X = 5/5.59

sin ∠X = YZ/XY

YZ = 5  seen in ΔXYZ

XZ = 5.59 seen in hypotenuse of ΔXYZ

Then one need to Calculate the length of one aspect of XY:

XY = √((5.59)2 - 52)

= 2.4996

Note CB/YZ = 2

CD = 2*YZ = 2 x 5

= 10

AC/XY = 2

AC = 2* XY

= 2 x 2.4996

= 4.999

a paper airplane can be made out of two different pieces of paper: a circular piece 10 inches wide and a square piece 11 inches
madreJ [45]
Compare the areas of the 2 different pieces of paper.

For the circle, the area is A=pi * r^2, which works out to A = pi(5 inches)^2.

For the square, the area is A = s^2, where is the side length, which here is 11 inches.

Finish these calculations, and then compare your two areas.  Which is the larger?
