Answer:

a=35

b=20

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b =55

a=b+15

b+15 +b =55

2b=55 - 15

2b=40

b=40 :2

b=20 (the smallest number)

a=20 +15 =35 (the largest number)

Triangles P Q R and S T U are shown. Angles P R Q and T S U are right angles. The length of P Q is 20, the length of Q R is 16,

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$\angle P$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\triangle PRQ = \triangle TSU = 90^o$

$PQ = 20$ $QR = 16$ $PR = 12$

$ST = 30$ $TU = 34$ $SU = 16$

<em>See attachment</em>

Required

Which sine of angle is equivalent to $\frac{4}{5}$

Considering $\triangle PQR$

We have:

$\sin(P) = \frac{QR}{PQ}$ --- i.e. opposite/hypotenuse

So, we have:

$\sin(P) = \frac{16}{20}$

Divide by 4

$\sin(P) = \frac{4}{5}$

Hence:

$\angle P$ is correct
