I believe this is how you solve it
1562 divided by 35= 45 with a remainder of 32
Answer:
x = 8*root3
y = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use tangent and cosine of 60° to find x and y, BUT THERE'S A SHORTCUT. You pointed out that its a 30°-60°-90° triangle. That is a special right triangle. Here's the shortcut:
the longest side (hypotenuse) is double the shortest side. We have an 8 on the shortest side, so the hypotenuse (longest side) is 16. This ALWAYS works for 30°-60°-90° triangles!
Another shortcut:
The longer leg is the shorter leg × root3.
This ALWAYS works on 30°-60°-90° triangles.
So on your triangle, the short side is 8, that means the longer leg is 8×root3.
ta-daaaa!
(4 hundred + 0 tens + 5 ones) + (1 ten) = 4 hundred + 1 ten + 5 ones
... = 415
45/26=1.7307692307692307692307692307692...
≈1.7308
100*1.7308=173.08
The unknown number is approximately 173.08.
