Notice the picture
we have, the opposite side
the angle
and we want the hypotenuse

so recall your SOH CAH TOA $\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\\ \quad \\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent} =$

which one has all that? low and behold, is Ms Sine,
so let's bother Ms Sine

$\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\implies sin(27^o)=\cfrac{18}{hypotenuse}
\\\\\\
hypotenuse=\cfrac{18}{sin(27^o)}$

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode, since the angle here is in degrees, as opposed to Radian mode

The length of a rectangle is 3131 inches greatergreater than twice the width. if the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length,

Gala2k [10]

We have a rectangle with a diagonal included. That means we have to use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the missing dimensions. We start with the width as w. The length is 31 more than twice the width, so the length is 2w+31. The hypotenuse (diagonal) is 2 more than the length, so the diagonal measures 2w+33. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is always the longest side, so we set up Pythagorean's Theorem using the bolded values as such: $(2w+33)^2=w^2+(2w+31)^2$ . Distributing by multiplying we simplify to $4w^2+132w+1089=w^2+4w^2+124w+961$ . We need to solve for w. Once we do that we can use that value to find the length. What's nice is that the 4w^2 terms cancel each other out. So when we combine like terms and get them all on one side of the equals sign to factor we have $w^2-8w-128=0$ . The 2 numbers that add up to -8 and multiply to -128 are 16 and -8. So the width is either 16 inches or the width is -8 inches. The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length. So -8 is out. The width is 16 inches. That means that the length is 2(16)+31, which is 63 inches. There you go!

Two triangles have the same heights. One triangle has a base length that is twice the base length of the other triangle. Are the

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh,

For the first triangle we can leave it in general terms, so it's area is

A = (1/2)bh, depending on what b and h are, but it doesn't matter here...

The second triangle has base that is twice the other triangles base. Bases being multiples of each other is the definition of being proportional so the bases are proportional, an the area of the second triangle is

A = (1/2)(2b)h, which simplifies to

A = bh

Comparing the 2 areas, you can see that one has a multiplier of (1/2), so their areas are proportional

War Eagle spied 1428 antelope and wildebeests grazing on the savannah. If the ratio of antelope to wildebeests was 9 to 5, how m

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

9:5 = 1428:x

ratios can also be written as fractions, so

9/5 = 1428/x

solve for x

9/5 × x = 1428

x = 1428 / (9/5)

x = 918

Solve for c.

Mrrafil [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

The answer is c = $\frac{d+ab}{a}$

<u>Solution:</u>

When a sum of two numbers is multiplied by a number, the number can be distributed to the addends separately, then adding the products together will produce the same result as multiplying sum by the number. This property is called distributive property of multiplication.

To find the value of, a(c-b)=d

On applying the distributive property of multiplication which is $[a\times(b+c)=a\times b+a\times c]$
