So, this creates a triangle once again. If we imagine a slide, the slide itself would be the hypotenuse of the triangle, then if there's a ladder leading up to the slide, that would be the vertical length we're looking for. The feet across the ground would be the distance from the bottom of the slide to the bottom of the ladder.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side length, as this would create a right triangle. | 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2 | 64 + b^2 = 100 | b^2 = 36 | b = 6 feet | The slide is 6 feet high at its highest point.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the only way you can solve this is to assume that <R means PRT in the given ratio. If I am wrong, I don't think the problem can be solved.
Find <T
Let <T = x
and <PRT = 3x
KLMN is a Parallelagram and therefore two adjacent angles are supplementary.
<PRT + <T = 180 degress
3x + x = 180 degrees
4x = 180
x = 45
So <T = 45
<PRT = 3*45 = 135
If RD is perpendicular to PS then <PDR = 90o
Here's the trick.
RD is also Perpendicular to RT
<MRD + <MRT = 90
<MRT = 180 - 90 - <T
<MRT = 180 - 90 - 45
<MRT = 45
Here comes your answer
=================
<MRD + MRT = 90
<MRD + 45 = 90
<MRD = 45
====================
Note: you must ignore everything to do with the diagram. It is not drawn to scale and the letters are not the same as in the question. The only thing you use is that the figure is a ||gm
3x = 20.40. Divide each side by 3.
x = 6.8

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total interior angles in a triangle=180 degrees
That is: 3x + 10 + 5x - 1 + x =180
9x+9=180
9x=180-9
9x=171
x=171/9
x=19
Therefore
Angle A =67 degrees
Angle B= 94 degrees
Angle C = 19 degrees
Since it starts at 50 and goes to 35....it is a decrease since the amount is going down, or getting smaller. To find the percent, first find the difference 50-35 = 15; then divide by the initial amount of 50. So, 15/50 = 0.3, and then convert that to a percent by multiplying by 100. Therefore the percent decrease is 30%
