The other 2 angles of given right angles are 61.93° and 28.072°, if a triangle with side lengths 8, 15, and 17 is a right triangle by the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                  Right angled triangle,

                  Side lengths are 8, 15, and 17  

Step:1

                 The given triangle is right angle triangle by the converse of Pythagorean theorem, so the trigonometric ratio,

                Ref the attachment,

                For angle a,

                             Sin a = \frac{Opp}{Hyp}...................................................(1)

                  Where,  Opp - 8

                                 Hyp - 17

                  From equation (1),

                                       = \frac{8}{17}

                                       = 0.470588

                                       = sin^{-1}(0.470588)

                                    a = 28.072°

                     For angle b,

                                   Sin a = \frac{Opp}{Hyp}...................................................(1)

                  Where,  Opp - 15

                                 Hyp - 17

                  From equation (1),

                                       = \frac{15}{17}

                                       = 0.882352

                                       = sin^{-1}(0.882352)

                                    b = 61.93°

Step:2

           Check for solution for right angle triangle,

                         90 ° = Other 2 angles

                         90 ° = a + b

                         90 ° = 28.072° + 61.93°

                         90 ° = 90 °

Result:

           The other 2 angles of given right angles are 61.93° and 28.07°, if a triangle with side lengths 8, 15, and 17 is a right triangle by the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem.

3) What is the SURFACE AREA of the solid with the given measurements? Square Pyramid base edge 4 cm, slant height 11 cm​
atroni [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

height h = 11 cm

slant height s = 11.180339887499 cm

side length a = 4 cm

lateral edge length e = 11.357816691601 cm

1/2 side length r = 2 cm

volume V = 58.666666666667 cm3

lateral surface area L = 89.442719099992 cm2

base surface area B = 16 cm2

total surface area A = 105.44271909999 cm2

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 4 and y-intercept -5.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

y = 4x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx+b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

so y= 4x -5

Which equation could be solved using the graph above?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Option b is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph in the picture is the graph of a quadratic equation and it takes the shape of a parabola.

The points on the x axis through which the parabola cuts across is used to determine the solution of the quadratic equation.

Looking at the parabola formed from the plotted points, it cuts the x axis at

x = -1 and x= -2

These are the factors of the equation. To get the equation, we multiply the factors.

x= -1, x +1 = 0

x =-2 , x + 2= 0

The equation is (x+1)(x+2)

Expanding the brackets,

x×x + x×2 +1×x + 1×2

= x^2 + 2x + x +2

= x^2 + 3x +2 = 0

Option b is the correct answer
