<h3>
Answer: A. 18*sqrt(3)</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
We'll need the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(R) = TH/HR
tan(30) = TH/54
sqrt(3)/3 = TH/54 ... use the unit circle
54*sqrt(3)/3 = TH .... multiply both sides by 54
(54/3)*sqrt(3) = TH
18*sqrt(3) = TH
TH = 18*sqrt(3) which points to <u>choice A</u> as the final answer
----------------------
An alternative method:
Triangle THR is a 30-60-90 triangle.
Let x be the measure of side TH. This side is opposite the smallest angle R = 30, so we consider this the short leg.
The hypotenuse is twice as long as x, so TR = 2x. This only applies to 30-60-90 triangles.
Now use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(TH)^2 + (HR)^2 = (TR)^2
(x)^2 + (54)^2 = (2x)^2
x^2 + 2916 = 4x^2
2916 = 4x^2 - x^2
3x^2 = 2916
x^2 = 2916/3
x^2 = 972
x = sqrt(972)
x = sqrt(324*3)
x = sqrt(324)*sqrt(3)
x = 18*sqrt(3) which is the length of TH.
A slightly similar idea is to use the fact that if y is the long leg and x is the short leg, then y = x*sqrt(3). Plug in y = 54 and isolate x and you should get x = 18*sqrt(3). Again, this trick only works for 30-60-90 triangles.
5^2 + x^2=8^2
25+x^2=64
X=6.2
Answer:
This is Isosceles Right
Step-by-step explanation:
An Isosceles is a triangle that has two sides the same length and one side longer or shorter
An Right is an triangle with a 90˚
Hope this helps!
Answer:
ST = 12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ RAS and Δ TES are similar triangles, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is, noting that SR = 21 - ST, thus
= 
substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
6ST = 8(21 - ST)
6ST = 168 - 8ST ( add 8ST to both sides )
14ST = 168 ( divide both sides by 14 )
ST = 12
