Answer:
m∠x = 10°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are dealing with a <u>right triangle</u> and its two sides and one angle, we can use <u>trigonometry ratios</u>. Remember them all with the acronym SohCahToa.
"o" is for opposite side, "a" is for adjacent side, "h" is for hypotenuse side.
The ratios are:
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse
tanθ = opposite/adjacent
θ means the "angle of reference", or the angle you know or want to find. This determines which side is adjacent (touching) or opposite (not touching). The hypotenuse (longest side) does not change.
In this triangle, θ = x. The sides we know are hypotenuse and opposite. Therefore, we will use the sinθ ratio.
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
sinx = CB/AB Substitute the labels in the diagram
sinx = 4/23 Substitute known values (side lengths)
x = sin⁻¹(4/23) Isolate 'x'. Use calculator to solve.
x = 10.015....° Exact answer
x ≈ 10° Round to the nearest degree
Therefore the measure of angle x (m∠x) is 10°.
Answer:
h(x) = -x^2 - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
well y, h(x), f(x), n(x), or any other something of x is all the same thing y.
So if f(x) is -x^2 - 1,
Then h(x) is also -x^2 - 1
Using the given information find the length and width of the base:
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
L = 3W
Replace L in the first equation:
Perimeter = 2(3W) + 2w
96 = 2(3W) +2W
Simplify:
96 = 6W +2W
96 = 8w
Divide both sides by 8:
w = 96 / 8
w = 12
The width is 12 inches.
The length = 3 x 12 = 36 inches.
Volume = L x W X H
Volume = 36 x 12 x 14
Volume = 6,048 cubic inches.
<u>Let's consider the facts at hand</u>:
- By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
- ∠BEC = ∠DFC
- Sides BE = DF
<u>Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar</u>
⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem
⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC
⇒ the two triangles are similar
Hope that helps!
<em>Definitions of Theorem I used:</em>
- <u><em>Vertical Angle Theorem: </em></u><em>opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal</em>
- <u><em>Angle-Angle Theorem:</em></u><em> if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar</em>

When you divide 287 by 68, when it is not rounded, you will get 4.22058823529... (repeated decimal), but when you round it, you can either get the following: 4.22, 4.2, or 4 (choose which ever you want to pick out of these rounded forms.)
Hope this helped!
