Describe how to draw the geometric mean in a right triangle

Mathematics
1 answer:
CaHeK987 [17]3 years ago
4 0
Answer: The height of the altitude from the hypotenuse to the vertex of the right angle is the geometric mean of the two segments formed on the hypotenuse.

The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of the product of the numbers.

When you draw your altitude, you will divide the hypotenuse into 2 segments. The geometric mean of those two lengthsis also the height of the altitude.

Name the angles that are complements to SWT
zlopas [31]
Two angles are said to be complementary, if the sum of the two angles is 90 degrees.

Given that the measure of angle SWT is 50 degrees, thus, the measure of the complementary angles will be 90 - 50 = 40 degrees.

From the diagram, the measure of angle USP is 40 degrees, hence it is a complement of angle SWT.

Recall that the angle on a straight line is equal to 180 degrees, thus the sum of the measures of angles USP, WST and TSV is 180 degrees.
i.e. mUSP + mWST + mTSV = 180 degrees
40 + 100 + mTSV = 180
mTSV = 180 - 140 = 40 degrees.
Hence angle TSV is complementary to angle SWT.

Therefore, the complementary angles to angle SWT are angle USP and angle TSV.

Answer:

6 square root of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 45 = 6/x

Multiply by x

x sin 45 = 6

Divide by sin 45

x sin 45/ sin 45 = 6 / sin 45

x = 6/ sin 45

x = 6/ (1/sqrt(2))

x = 6 sqrt(2)

What is the measure of angle x?
Reil [10]

Answer:

143

Step-by-step explanation:

41 + 102 = 143

180- 143= 37

180 - 37 = 143

Consider the Triangle Sum Theorem in relation to a right triangle. What conjecture can you make about the two acute angles of a
Anon25 [30]
They must be complementary. these 2 angles MUST equal 90 degrees because there is a right angle that is 90 degrees in the triangle already and all triangles have an angle sum of 180 degrees. the answer is complementary
