Answer:

\angle C=28.95502437$^{\circ} \approx29 $^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the missing side c. And let's find it using pythagorean theorem:

b^2=c^2+a^2

Where:

a=7\\\\and\\\\b=8

Solving for c:

c^2=8^2-7^2\\\\c^2=64-49\\\\c^2=15\\\\c=\sqrt{15}

Using law of sines:

\frac{a}{sin(A)} =\frac{b}{sin(B)} =\frac{c}{sin(C)}

Where:

B=90

Solving for C:

b*sin(C)=c*sin(B)\\\\8sin(C)=\sqrt{15} sin(90)\\\\sin(C)=\frac{\sqrt{15} }{8} \\\\C=arcsin(\frac{\sqrt{15} }{8} )\\\\C=28.95502437$^{\circ} \approx 29$^{\circ}

Well, sine is \bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse},

but from the angle C, the opposite side, the one facing it off, is the side
AB, and we dunno what the side AB is

however, we know the hypotenuse is 8, and the adjacent side is 7,

and is right-triangle, thus, let us use the pythagorean theorem,

\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite
\end{cases}
\\\\
thus
\\\\
\sqrt{8^2-7^2}=b=AB

now, that we know what the opposite side is, that is AB, then
we can find the sine of angle C \bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\implies sin(C)=\cfrac{\overline{AB}}{\overline{BC}}

The sum of the measures of angle M and angle R is 90°.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The value of x would be 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(for future reference if you have questions like this it’s better to fill in numbers for x to be able to answer the question)

So you want to fill in x with a number. In this case in order for this equation to be right you fill x with 5.

So 5(5)+10=35

And to check your answer to make sure it’s right you would add the measure of angle R which is 55 to the measure of angle M which is 35.

55+35 is 90. Which makes your answer for x correct :) hopefully this makes sense.
