Can segments with lengths of 15, 20, and 36 form a triangle?

1 answer:

5 0

Ok, so remember

the legnth of the longest side must be LESS THAN the sum of the measures of the other 2 sides
if no longest side (becasue it has 2 longest sides or 3 equal sides), then it can form a triangle

so the longest side is 36

36 must be less than the sum of 15 and 20
36<15+20
36<35
false

therfor it cannot form a triangle
try it yourself, you cannot connect them that way

Hi there!

What we need to know:

The three main trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine and tangent:

$\displaystyle sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ $\displaystyle cos\theta=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ $\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

"Opposite" refers to the side opposite the angle that is not the hypotenuse.

"Hypotenuse" refers to the side opposite the right angle of a right triangle.

"Adjacent" refers to the side next to the angle that is not the hypotenuse.

"θ" is read as "theta". It just represents the angle.

Keep in mind that these three ratios only apply to right triangles.

You can use the mnemonic "soh-cah-toa" to help you remember these ratios.

First question

For the first question, we're given the angle with a measure of 56 degrees and the length of the hypotenuse. We must calculate a, which represents the side adjacent to the given angle.

Given the hypotenuse and the adjacent side, we know that we must use the cosine ratio:

$\displaystyle cos\theta=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

Plug in the given information:

$\displaystyle cos56=\frac{a}{13}$

Isolate a by multiplying both sides by 13:

$13\displaystyle cos56=a$

Solve using a calculator:

$a=7.3$

Therefore, a is equal to 7.3 when rounded to 1 decimal place.

Other information you will need to know:

In the above question, we needed to solve for a side. But what if we were given two sides and we needed to solve for an angle? For example:

$\displaystyle sin\theta=\frac{5}{8}$

In this case, we will use the inverse sine ratio:

$\displaystyle \theta=sin^-^1(\frac{5}{8})$

Solve using a calculator:

$\displaystyle \theta=39$

Therefore, the angle would equal approximately 39 degrees.

I hope this helps!

indictate which of the following are propositions.For the ones which are propositions, determine the truth value.(a) The integer

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When we propose an hypothesis, it is either true or false. The same goes for a proposition.

The required objective here is to determine the truth value in the following proposition.

(a) The integer 24 is prime.

(b) Is the integer 315 even?

(d) -4 ∈ Ζ

From the first option:

(a) The integer 24 is prime.

The sentence is a proposition but the truth value is FALSE because a prime number is a number that can only be divide by 1 and itself but in the case of 24, Its factors include 1,2,3,4,6,8,12 and 24 which make 24 to falsify the proposition of being a prime number.

(b) Is the integer 315 even?

This option is not a proposition but rather a question since it has a question mark, however, 315 is an odd number since it is not divisible by 2.

( c) The sum of 3 and 4 is 12.

This is a proposition and the truth value is FALSE

The sum of 3+4 = 7 ; Hence; 7 ≠ 12

(d) -4 ∈ Ζ

This is a proposition and the truth value is TRUE.

-4 ∈ Ζ is read as ( minus four is an integer (∈) of Z )

Yes, this is a proposition and its Truth value is TRUE , since minus four is an integer (∈) of Z

10. What is the measure of angle C? A. 25° B. 30° C. 60° D. 75°

Reil [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5 + 3x + C = 180 All triangles have 180 degrees.

4x + 5 + C = 180

But C must be equal to 3x. Notice the markings on the lets of the triangle.

4x + 5 + 3x = 180

7x + 5 = 180 Subtract 5 from both sides

7x = 180 - 5

7x = 175

x = 25

But angle C = 3x

C = 3*25

C = 75

A coordinator will select 6 songs from a list of 9 songs to compose an event's musical entertainment lineup. How many different

g100num [7]

Answer:

84 different lineups are possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the songs are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

6 musics from a set of 9. So

$C_{9,6} = \frac{9!}{6!(9-6)!} = 84$

84 different lineups are possible
