1) The measure of angle L is 70°<span>
The measure of all the angles of a triangle add up to 180</span>°. You're given two angle measurements: 90° (aka the right angle) and 20° (measure of ∠M). The third angle must be 180°-90°-20°= 70°.

2) The <span>trigonometric ratio is
</span>When you have a right triangle, you can use sine, cosine, and tangent to figure out the lengths of the sides or angle measurements if given enough information. 

Remember SOHCAHTOA!
sinθ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
cosθ = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}
tanθ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}
where θ is the angle you determine your adjacent and opposite sides from.

The adjacent side is next to the angle θ (and isn't the hypotenuse) and the opposite side is across from the angle θ. The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle and directly across from the 90° angle.

If you look at your picture, LN is opposite ∠M and NM (the angle you're looking for) is adjacent to ∠M, because it isn't the hypotenuse. That means the trigonometric ratio you need is tangent, since tangent uses both opposite and adjacent.

3) The length of NM is 57.7.
Finally solve for the length of NM using tanθ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}. You will be solving for the adjacent side, so start off by rearranging the tangent equation to solve for adjacent:
tanθ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}
adjacent(tanθ) = opposite
adjacent = \frac{opposite}{tan\theta}

Now, just plug in the values for θ and the length of the opposite side LN: 
adjacent = \frac{opposite}{tan\theta} \\&#10;adjacent = \frac{21}{tan20} \\&#10;adjacent = \frac{21}{0.364} \\&#10;adjacent = 57.7

Suppose a deep sea driver dives from the surface to 248 feet below the surface. He then dives down 10 more feet. Use integers yo
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Initial dive: - 248 (below the surface which represents '0')

Second dive: -10

Present depth -248 + -10 = -258 feet below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use negative integers to represent real-world scenarios such as in elevation and descent, bank account balances and temperatures.  In this case, because a diver is descending below the surface of the water, the surface of the water represents the '0' and going down into the water would be negative integers.  So, his initial dive is 248 down, or negative 248 (-248), he then dives down an additional 10 feet, or negative 10 (-10).  Since the second dive is in addition to his initial dive, we add the two integers together:

-248 + -10 = -258 feet

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x + 6 = 22 and arrives at the correct solution?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to first find the answer to the equation.

2x+6=22

6-6=0

22-6=16

2x=16

divide both sides by 2

x=8
