Answer:

9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle. To solve for any of the side length of such triangle, apply the trigonometry ratio formula which can easily be remembered as SOHCAHTOA.

SOH is Sin θ = opposite/hypothenuse,

CAH is Cos θ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

TOA is Tan θ = Opposite/adjacent

Thus, in the right triangle given, we have:

θ = 38°

Opposite side to the given angle = x

Hypotenuse = 15

We're going to use, sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin(38) = x/15

Multiply both sides by 15 to solve for x

15*sin(38) = x

15*0.616 = x

9.24 = x

x ≈ 9.2 (to nearest tenth)

What is the distance between the points 3, 7 and 15, 6 on a coordinate plane

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$D=\sqrt{145 }\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are actually using Pythagorean theorem here but to be simple

we can use the equation:

D(distance)= $\sqrt{(x_{1}- x_{2} )^{2} +( y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}$

$D=\sqrt{(15-3)^{2}+(6-7)^{2} } =\\D=\sqrt{(12)^{2}+(-1)^{2} } =\\\\D=\sqrt{144+1 } =\\D=\sqrt{145 }\\$

(If you meant 16 instead of 6 the answer would be 15)

Hope this helps!

Solve for ;x+20/2=3x

Alchen [17]

x in (-oo:+oo)

(x+20)/2 = 3*x // - 3*x

(x+20)/2-(3*x) = 0

(x+20)/2-3*x = 0

(x+20)/2+(-3*2*x)/2 = 0

x-3*2*x+20 = 0

20-5*x = 0

(20-5*x)/2 = 0

(20-5*x)/2 = 0 // * 2

20-5*x = 0

20-5*x = 0 // - 20

-5*x = -20 // : -5

x = -20/(-5)

x = 4 so x= 4

Please help and hurry it’s not the one i picked

aev [14]

Using the Pythargorean theoem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2^2 + 2^2 = c^2

4 + 4 = c^2
8 = c^2
c = sqrt(8)
the answer would be D

A falcon flying at a height of 200 yards spots a sparrow flying at a height of 150 yards. The location of the sparrow makes an a

juin [17]

Answer: The distance between the birds is about 77.78 yards.

This is a trigonometry problems, so it helps to draw a right triangle between the birds. The length between them is the hypotenuse and we have a angle of 40 degrees by the sparrow. The side opposite the sparrow is the difference in heights of the birds, 50 yards.

Therefore, we can write and solve the following sine relationship.

sin(40) = 50/x
0.6428 = 50/x
x = 77.78
