The 30º-60º-90º triangle is a special case you'd do well to remember, because the legs always occur in the same ratio to one another. As your picture shows (I'm guessing "SL" stands for short leg?), the sides labeled 4, y and x occur in a ratio of 1 to √3 to 2.
This means
sin(30º) = SL/(2*SL) = 1/2
tan(30º) = SL/(√3*SL) = 1/√3
(and also cos(30º) = (√3*SL)/(2*SL) = √3/2, though you don't really need that here)
So in this triangle, x and y satisfy
sin(30º) = 4/x
tan(30º) = 4/y
This comes straight from the definitions of sine and tangent. Then
4/x = 1/2 ==> x = 8
4/y = 1/√3 ==> y = 4√3
Answer:
x+11-14
Step-by-step explanation:
The temperature rose by 11 and fell by 14 so you add 11 and subtract 14 from the original number.
Answer:
As per the statement:
Hawick is 15 miles south of Abbotsford, and Kelso is 17 miles east of Abbotsford.
Let H represents Hawick , A represents Abbotsford and K represents Kelso
See the diagram as shown below:
Distance of AH = 15 miles
Distance of AK = 17 miles.
We have to find the distance HK:
Using Pythagoras theorem;
then;
or
miles.
Therefore, the distance from Hawick to Kelso( to the nearest tenth place) is 22.6 miles
Answer:
When factoring by grouping also called factoring in pairs, we should split the expression into two pairs that have something in common. The idea is that after we factor each pair, we get a binomial common factor.

Answer:
of the cake
Step-by-step explanation:
add 
and 
to see the total amount of cake eaten.
a. find the common denominator: 8 x 3 = 24 and 6 x 4 = 24
b. multiply accordingly to get the correct numerator: 
+ 
c. add: + = 
subtract found value from total to find left over cake.
a. 24 - 7 = 14
simplify.
a. 
=
You are left with of the cake.
