Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For a triangle the area is
If our triangle is isosceles and the 2 congruent sides each measure 4 and they include an angle of 40 degrees, let's say that the vertex angle is 40 and the sides that are not the base each measure 4. If we drop an altitude from the vertex to the base, we cut the triangle into 2 right triangles, with the vertex angle being 20 degrees and the hypotenuse being 4. To find the base, then, which is opposite the angle, we use the sin ratio:
and
4sin(20) = b so
b = 1.368
But we need the whole base, and that is only half of it. So
2b = 2.736
To find the height, which is adjacent to the angle, we use the cos ratio:
and
4cos(20) = h so
h = 3.759
Now we have enough info to find the area of the triangle using the triangle area formula from above:
and
A = 5 meters squared.
The answer to the question is 13
Answer:
m∠YWZ=36°
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite rays are two rays that both start from a common point and go off in exactly opposite directions. Because of this the two rays (WX and WZ) form a single straight line through the common endpoint W.
If rays WX and WZ are opposite, then angle XWZ is straight angle. A straight angle always has the measure of 180°.
Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ, then angles XWY and EWZ are supplementary angles (together form straight angle XWZ). Supplementary angles always add up to 180°, then
m∠XWY+m∠YWZ=180°
You are given that
m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ).
Substitute it into the previous equality:
4(m∠YWZ)+m\angle YWZ=180°
5(m∠YWZ)=180°
m∠YWZ=36°
Answer:
13.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall the trigonometric ratios
Sine = Opposite over Hypotenuse (SOH)
Cosine = Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH)
Tangent = Opposite over Adjacent (TOA)
Now lets look back at the question
We are given an angle and its adjacent side length (11) and we need to find the hypotenuse
The hypotenuse and adjacent sides corresponds with the trig function cosine so we will use cosine to solve for x
( remember that cosine = adjacent over hypotenuse )
step 1 multiply each side by x
now we have 
step 2 divide each side by cos(37)
we're left with x = 13.77439
Our last step would be to round to the nearest tenth
We would get that the answer is 13.8
Area of rectangle b=1/2 area of rectangle a=40/2=20 cm²
Length=8 cm
Width of rectangle b=20/8 =2.5 cm
