1/3 is the slope, or 1 over 3.
Answer:
m∠RQS = 72°
m∠TQS = 83°
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠RQS +m ∠TQS = m∠RQT
The two angles combine to make a larger angle
So
m∠RQS = (4x - 20)
m∠TQS = (3x + 14)
(4x - 20) + (3x + 14) = 155
Group the Xs and the constants
4x + 3x - 20 + 14 = 155
Combine like terms
7x - 6 = 155
Add 6 to both sides
7x = 161
Divide by 7 on both sides
x = 23
Check:
4(23) - 20 + 3(23) + 14 = 155
92 - 20 + 69 + 14 = 155
155 = 155
But we need to find m∠RQS and m∠TQS. So plug in x = 23 to the values.
m∠RQS = 4(23) - 20 = 72°
m∠TQS = 3(23) + 14 = 83°
Checking:
72 + 83 = 155
Add sin(x) to both sides
tan(x)sin(x)=sin(x)
Divide sin(x) from both sides
tan(x)=1
now you just have to figure out where tan(x)=1. you can figure this out from there by looking at the unit circle.
1. 14.4 km, 2. 25.2 km, 3. 37.8 km
You have to draw a rectangle and label the longer side 2.4 and the shorter side 1.1
