Answer:
CD = 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
in the given right triangle ΔCDE,
By applying tangent rule,
tan(∠E) = 
= 
tan(30)° = 

CD = 
CD = 2 units
Therefore, CD = 2 unit will be the answer.
Answer:
23.49 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for area of triangle: 1/2 * b * h
1/2 * 16.2 = 8.1
8.1 * 2.9 =23.49 in.
40 = 40 × 100% = 4,000%
Answer: 40 = 4,000%
Answer: The shortest side is 9ft
Step-by-step explanation: If the longest side is identified as 15 ft, then we already have our hypotenuse (the longest side in a right angled triangle).
If the shortest side is labelled as x, then the third side of the triangle would be labelled as 3x - 15 (15 less than three times the shortest side).
Now we have three sides of a triangle which we can label as 15, x and 3x - 15
By applying the Pythagoras theorem, AC² = AB² + BC²
(Where AC is the hypotenuse and AB and BC are the other two sides)
15² = X² + (3x-15)²
By expansion, (3x-15)² becomes 9x² - 90x + 225
Hence, 225 = X² + 9X² - 90X + 225
225 = 10X² - 90X + 225
Subtract 225 from both sides of the equation
10X² - 90X = 0
Factorize the left hand side of the equation by 10x
10x (x - 9)= 0
Therefore, either
10x = 0 OR
x - 9 = 0
If 10x=0, then x=0. OR
If x - 9 = 0, then x = 9
The length of the shortest side is 9ft.
Area formula of a triangle is:
A =

We know the area and the height, so substitute to find the base
A = 70 m²
h = 8.75 m or

m (its the same thing)
70 =

× b × 8.75
70 = 4.375b
Divide by 4.375 on either sides to isolate b

4.375 and 4.375 cancels out
16 m = b
The base of this triangle is
16 m
