Hello!

Let's think of this large triangle as a whole. If we add up the angles, we have 115°. The adjacent side to this angle is 9 feet. Let's try finding the opposite side. The tangent deals with these two.

tan115≈2.14

Therefore, x/9=2.14

We multiply both sides by 9 to find x.

x=19.26

Now let's find the length BC and subtract it from 19.26 to find our length. As we will deal with opposite and adjacent sides, we will find the tangent.

tan45=1

This means x/9=1

Therefore, BC=9

Now we can subtract from 19.26

19.26-9=10.26

Therefore, this length is 10.26 feet

I hope this helps!

Blababa [14]

Answer:

(Yes, "5" is a polynomial, one term is allowed, and it can be just a constant!) 3xy-2 is not, because the exponent is "-2" (exponents can only be 0,1,2,...)

What is the range the 3rd side of the triangle can be be with 15 cm 14 cm ?
Volgvan

Answer:

20.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I just used Pythagorean theorem  in which c^2=a^2+b^2

so this is c^2= 225 + 196 and then you get c^2= 421 and finally you get the square root of 421 so this way you finally get 20.5 cm
