Someone help me asap math 10
1 answer:
Answer:
x ≈ 25.4 Km
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle on the right
tan54° = =
( multiply both sides by 17 )
17 × tan54° = opp , thus
opp ≈ 23.4
-------------------------------------------
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle on the left
cos23° = =
( multiply both sides by x )
x × cos23° = 23.4 ( divide both sides by cos23° )
x = ≈ 25. 4 Km ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:
3.) x = 4.5
4.) y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3 is an easier one than 4. By the triangle midsegment theorem, the midsegment of a triangle will be half of the base if it is parallel to it. AB is our base, so the equation is like this!
Now for 4, it actually is pretty easy. By the same triangle midsegment theorem, we automatically know that EC and EA are congruent, and CD and DB are also congruent. Meaning y equals 7.
But another way we can determine this (the long, kinda unecessary, but useful way) is through examining the relationship that triangles ABC and EDC have! We know that they are similar triangles by SAS or AA. Meaning, their equation looks something like this...
Like I said earlier, 7 is equal to y, but I figured I'd prove it so we are on the same page. Nothing wrong with double-checking ;)
