The longer leg of a 30,-60,-90 degree triangle is 18: what is the length of the other leg

Mathematics
1 answer:
taurus [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The other legs are 9 and 9√3

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer side of a 30-60-90 degree rectangle is 18.

The other legs will be

\frac{x}{2}

and

\frac{x}{2}  \sqrt{3}

Where x is the longest side, which is given as 18.

Therefore one leg will be:

\frac{18}{2}  = 9

and the other leg will be:

\frac{18}{2}  \sqrt{3}  = 9 \sqrt{3}

First off, let's convert the decimal to a fraction, notice, we have two decimals, so we'll use in the denominator, a 1 with two zeros then, two decimals, two zeros, thus   \bf 1.\underline{75}\implies \cfrac{175}{1\underline{00}}\implies \cfrac{7}{4}\implies \stackrel{ratio}{7:4}

now, we know then the ratio dimensions for the new photograph, 

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccllll}
&\stackrel{ratio~of~the}{Sides}&\stackrel{ratio~of~the}{Areas}&\stackrel{ratio~of~the}{Volumes}\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}
\end{array} \\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\bf \cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{7}{4}\implies \cfrac{4+3}{4}\implies \cfrac{4}{4}+\cfrac{3}{4}\implies 1+\boxed{\cfrac{3}{4}}\impliedby \textit{perimeter is }\frac{3}{4}\textit{ larger}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{areas'~ratio}{\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}}\implies \cfrac{3^2}{4^2}\implies \cfrac{9}{16}\impliedby \textit{area is }\frac{9}{16}\textit{ larger than original}

Sam deposits $1,000 into an account that pays 6% simple interest annually. He plans to take the money out after 3.5 years. What
lara31 [8.8K]
Well, the formula for simple interest is 

I=prt

"I" is interest, "p" is the principal, "r" is the rate, and "t" is the time.

If you substitute the numbers, you get

I=1,000(0.06)(3.5)

When you multiply them together, you get 

I=210

So, the simple interest for 3.5 years is $210.

But, in order to get the total balance, you have to add the interest and the principal together.

B=1000+210 \\ B=1210

So, the balance after 3.5 years is $1,210.
