20^2 + (x-8)^2 = x^2

x^2 = 400 + x^2 -16x + 64

16x = 464

x = 29 = hypotenuse

Double - Check
29^2 = 20^2 + 21^2
841 = 400 + 441

PLEASE SHOW WORK !!!

For this, you have to understand the ratios of a 30,60,90 triangle. The ratio(in order) is x, x(sqrt 3), 2x (following the 30,60,90 pattern y'know). Well, we know the length of the hypotenuse, 4.2, so let's use ratios to figure the other sides out. The ratio of AC is x and the ratio of AB is 2x, so 2x/2=x=2.1. One side down. BC has a ratio of x(sqrt 3). We already know x so we can substitute it in. We get 2.1(sqrt 3). To calculate the area, use the formula 1/2(bh). Inputting the values in, we get 1/2(2.1*(2.1(sqrt 3)). This can be calculated to around 3.82. To calculate the perimeter, take the sum of the sides. By adding the sides together, we get about 9.98. Hope you can now understand how to do these kinds of questions.

Find the length of AC again
Bingel [31]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

side Ac is the opposite of angle B, therefore use the sin ratio to find ac since the hypotenuse is also given

sin B=opposite/hypotenuse

sin 27=ac/15

ac=sin27×15

=6.81

I hope this helps

How to find A? help please and thanks
MrRa [10]
This problem exercises the concept of "similar triangles."

With similar triangles, we can compare the sides using ratios.
The equation we can use to find side A is stated below.

Side 1A / Side 1B = Side 2A / Side 2B

The number refers to the triangle, and the letter refers to the side of each triangle. Side A in both triangles must be the base of the triangle, and side B in both triangles can be either of the other sides. The only restriction is that once we pick a side B on triangle 1, we must pick that same side on triangle 2.

A / 7 = 3 / 2

Then we can solve for the length of side A.

A = 7*3/2 = 21/2 = (E) None of These
