Answer:

hypotenuse = 14inches

The other leg {adjacent} = 12.12inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the hypotenuse and the other leg which would be the adjacent of the triangle given the opposite to be 7inches, with opposite angle given as 30.

See attachment for illustration.

Therefore to find the hypotenuse we will apply the sine rule which says

a/sineA = b/sineB

Where a is line and A is its opposite angle same as b is line and B is its opposite angle.

So in this case:

a= 7inches, A = 30° , b = hypotenuse, B = 90° (angle at right angle).

Therefore we have,

7/sine30 = hypotenuse/sine90

Cross multiple

Hypotenuse*sine30 = 7*sine90

Hypotenuse = 7*sine90/sine30

Hypotenuse = 7*1/0.5

Hypotenuse = 7/0.5 = 14inches

Hypotenuse = 14 inches

Having gotten hypotenuse we can now find the other leg {adjacent} using the Pythagoras theorem, which says

Hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

adjacent² = Hypotenuse² - opposite²

adjacent² = 14² - 7²

adjacent² = 196 - 49

adjacent² = 147

adjacent = √147

adjacent = 12.1244 ~ 12.12inches

nekit [7.7K]
You would find the probability of getting an answer less than 10 by counting all of the possible outcomes, or numbers that are less than 10 and compare them to the total number of possible outcomes, or the total number of numbers. You would write the ratio of predicted outcomes to total possibilities.

The answer would be 4/9.

Triangle LMN similar to triangle OPQ find the measure of side PQ round your answer to the nearest 10th if necessary
sergejj [24]

*see attachement for the triangles given

Answer:

PQ = 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar shapes or figures are proportional to each other. Since ∆LMN ~ ∆OPQ, the ratio of their corresponding sides would therefore be equal. Thus:

LN/OQ = MN/PQ

LN = 5

OQ = 17

MN = 2

PQ = ?

Plug in the values

5/17 = 2/PQ

Cross multiply

5*PQ = 2*17

5*PQ = 34

PQ = 34/5

PQ = 6.8
