Step-by-step explanation:

The attached figure shows a right angled triangle right angle at C. It is required to find the length of CA.

Here, CA = x = perpendicular

BC = base

AB = hypotenuse =7

Angle B is 40 degrees

We know that the ratio of perpendicular to the hypotenuse is equal to sine of angle.

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{P}{H}\\\\\sin(40)=\dfrac{x}{7}$

x is length of CA

$x=7\sin(40)$

So, the correct option is (A).

We can use quadratic formula to determine the roots of the given quadratic equation.

The quadratic formula is:

$x= \frac{-b+- \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}$

b = coefficient of x term = 4
a = coefficient of squared term = 1
c = constant term = 7

Using the values, we get:

$x= \frac{-4+- \sqrt{16-4(1)(7)} }{2(1)} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{-4+- \sqrt{-12} }{2} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{-4+-2 \sqrt{-3} }{2} \\ \\ 
x= -2+- \sqrt{-3}$

So, the correct answer to this question is option A

For the following right triangles:

CaHeK987 [17]

Let us first define Hypotenuse Leg (HL) congruence theorem:

<em>If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right angle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of the another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.</em>

Given ACB and DFE are right triangles.

To prove ΔACB ≅ ΔDFE:

In ΔACB and ΔDFE,

AC ≅ DF (one side)

∠ACB ≅ ∠DFE (right angles)

AB ≅ DE (hypotenuse)

∴ ΔACB ≅ ΔDFE by HL theorem.
