Answer:

  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find x such that ...

  x^2 +(x +1)^2 = 61

  2x^2 +2x -60 = 0 . . . . . simplify, subtract 61

  x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  (x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor; solutions will make the factors be zero.

The relevant solution is x = 5.

I don’t understand this at all
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

B = 61.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp side/ hypotenuse

sin B = 7/8

Take the inverse of each side

sin ^-1 ( sin B) = sin ^ -1 (7/8)

B =61.04497563

To the nearest tenth

B = 61.0
