Answer:

16.76°

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔVWX, the measure of ∠X=90°, WX = 8.3 feet, and XV = 2.5 feet.

We want to find the measure of <W.

We know side length that is adjacent and opposite to <W.

We can use the tangent ratio, to find the measure of <W.

The tangent ratio is opposite over hypotenuse.

\tan(m \angle \: w)  =  \frac{2.5}{8.3}

\tan(m \angle \: w)  =  0.301

Take tangent inverse to get:

m \angle \: w= { \tan}^{ - 1}   (0.301)

m \angle \: w=16.76  \degree

What is the scale factor of 3
Wittaler [7]
A scale factor of 3 means that the new shape is three times the size of the original. To calculate the Scale Factor, we use the following: You can get the 'big' and 'small' from the corresponding sides on the figures. So just get your # and multiply it by 3

On the packaging for a triangular sail, the edge measurements for the sail are listed as 7 ft × 15 ft × 17 ft. Without unfurling
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Shape of Triangular sail is Obtuse Angled Triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is obtuse since the sum of the squares of 2 sides are greater than the square of the third side. (Converse Pythagorean theorem) Hope this helps!

Given: Length of sides of triangular sail = 7 ft , 15 ft , 7 ft

To find: Shape of Sail .i.e., shape of triangle

We use a result which states that

if a , b  , c are sides of triangle where c is greater then a & b.

now, if c² < a² + b² then triangle is Acute angled

if c² = a² + b² then triangle is Right angled

if c² > a² + b² then triangle is Obtuse angled

here a = 7 , b = 7 &  c = 15

c² = 15² = 225

a² + b² = 7² + 7² = 49 + 49 = 98

since, c² > a² + b²

⇒ Triangle must be Obtuse Angled.

Therefore, Shape of Triangular sail is Obtuse Angled Triangle.

Point P is the center of the circle below. What is the exact area
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Area =192\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\theta = 120^o

r =24

Required

The area of the shaded sector

This is calculated as:

Area =\frac{\theta}{360} * \pi r^2

This gives

Area =\frac{!20}{360} * \pi *24^2

Area =\frac{1}{3} * \pi *576

Area =\pi *192

Area =192\pi
