Answer:

x=8.6 m, and x=7.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

this is a right triangle, which means we can use a trigonometric relationship that relates the angle, the hypotenuse and the opposite side

Let's remember

sin(\alpha )=\frac{opposite\ side}{hypotenuse} \\and\\cos(\alpha)=\frac{adjacent\ side}{hypotenuse} \\

Step 1

P.41

Let

α=35 degrees

hypotenuse= 15m

opposite side =unknown= x

replacing

sin(\alpha )=\frac{opposite\ side}{hypotenuse} \\sin(35)=\frac{x}{15\ m}\\ to\ isolate\ x, multiply\ each\ side by\ 15 m\\15 m*sin(35)=x\\x=15\ m*(0.57)\\x=8.6\ m\\

Step 2

(second triangle p.42)

Let

α=44 degrees

hypotenuse= 11 ft

adjacent side =unknown= x

replacing

cos(\alpha )=\frac{adjacent\ side}{hypotenuse} \\cos(44)=\frac{x}{11\ ft}\\ to\ isolate\ x, multiply\ each\ side by\ 11 ft\\11 ft*cos(44)=x\\x=11\ ft*(0.71)\\x=7.9\ ft\\

I hope it helps, have a nice day

From the law of sines, we have

l = h\sin(\theta) = h\cos(\alpha)

where l is the leg we're interested in, h is the hypothenuse, \theta is the angle opposite to l, and \alpha is the angle between l and h.

So, in the first case, we can use

x = 15\sin(35) \approx 8.6

And in the second excercise, we use

x = 11\cos(44) \approx 7.6

What is the degree measure of b?<br> A)) 29° <br> B) 32° <br> C) 61° <br> D) 64°
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

B 32

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle is the sum of the measure of the measure of the opposite interior angles.

151 = 119+b

Subtract 119 from each side.

151-119 = 119-199+b

32 = b

What is [(7x^3)(y^2)]^2/7 in radical form?
GuDViN [60]
Remember
x^ \frac{m}{n} = \sqrt[n]{x^m}
and
(zy)^m=(z^m)(y^m)
and
(x^m)^n=x^(mn)

so
((7x^3)(y^2))^ \frac{2}{7} = \sqrt[7]{((7x^3)(y^2))^2}=
\sqrt[7]{((7x^3)^2(y^2)^2)}=
\sqrt[7]{((7^2x^6)(y^4))}=
\sqrt[7]{((49x^6)(y^4))}=
\sqrt[7]{49x^6y^4}
