Answer:

The lenthts of the ropes, as per the figure attached, are

  • <u>27 ft </u>(rope A) and
  • <u>32ft</u> (rope B)

Explanation:

See the figure attached for any reference.

We can find the lengths of both ropes using the law of sines.

<u>1. Rope A:</u>

   \dfrac{RopeA}{sin42\º}=\dfrac{40ft}{sin86\º}\\ \\\\\\RopeA=40ft \times \dfrac{sin42\º}{sin86\º}=26.8ft\approx 27ft

<u>2. Rope B</u>

First, calculate the included angle: 180º - 86º - 42º = 52º

Now use the law of sines:

\dfrac{RopeB}{sin52\º}=\dfrac{40ft}{sin86\º}\\ \\\\\\RopeB=40ft \times \dfrac{sin52\º}{sin86\º}=31.6ft\approx 32ft

From the sum of 2 and -11, subtract the sum of 2 and -6<br>​
jolli1 [7]

Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation: 2 + -11 = -9 and subtract -4 from it since it’s the sum of 2 + -6. -9 - -4 is -9 + 4 so -5

Help? im confused plss!<br> Find the area of the regular polygon with the given radius or apothem
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

  50 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the regular polygon is a square, there are multiple ways you can jump directly to the answer. Perhaps the simplest is to use the formula for the area of a rhombus:

  A = 1/2(d1)(d2)

where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals. Here, we see that half the diagonal is 5 cm, so the area is ...

  A = (1/2)(10 cm)(10 cm) = 50 cm² . . . . area of the polygon

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you want to use the radius and the number of sides in a formula, you can consider the area of each triangle formed by radii and a side. That triangle has area ...

  A = 1/2r²sin(α)

where r is the radius and α is the central angle. For an n-sided polygon, the area is the sum of n of these triangles, and the central angle is 360°/n. Then the polygon area is ...

  A = n/2·r²·sin(360°/n)

For n = 4 and r = 5 cm, the area is ...

  A = (4/2)(5 cm)²(sin(360°/4)) = 2(5 cm)²(1) = 50 cm² . . . . area of square

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The formula is somewhat different if you start with the length of the apothem. One way to find the area is using the above formula and the relation between the radius and apothem:

  r = a·sec(180°/n)

Another formula uses the apothem directly:

  A = n·a²·tan(180°/n)

In the figure below, segment AC is congruent to segment AB:
stepladder [879]

Answer: A. "Segment AD bisects angle CAB." is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In ΔABC ,AC≅AB.

⇒∠ACB=∠CBA....(1) (∵ angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal )

Now in ΔACD and ΔABD

AD=AD (common)....(2)

Here we need one more statement to prove the triangles congruent that is only statement (A) fits in it.

If AD bisects ∠CAB then ∠CAD=∠BAD..(3)

Now again Now in ΔACD and ΔABD

∠ACB=∠CBA [from (1)]

AD=AD [common]

∠CAD=∠BAD [from (3)]

So by ASA congruency criteria ΔADC≅ΔABD.
