(25 Points) The measure of b is ______?

Mathematics
2 answers:
Eva8 [605]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse (opposite the right angle)

20^2 +b^2 = 29^2

400 + b^2 =841

Subtract 400 from each side

400-400 +b^2 = 841-400

b^2 = 441

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(441)

b = 21

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a right triangle, so you can use the Pythagorean theorem, where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the lengths of the legs, and <em>c</em> is the length of the hypotenuse.

<em>a^2 + b^2 = c^2</em>

<em>20^2 + b^2 = 29^2</em>

<em>400 + b^2 = 841</em>

<em>b^2 = 841 - 400</em>

<em>b^2 = 441</em>

<em>b = 21</em>

For the given angle 0, identify the reference angle, _
ankoles [38]

Answer:

π\6

Step-by-step explanation:

The reference angle is the smallest angle measured from the terminal side of the angle (where the angle ends) to the x axis. The reference angle is an acute angle (i.e less than 90° or π/2)

For O = 11π/6 = 1.833π

1.833π is in the fourth quadrant between 3π/2 radians and 2π radians. Since it is in the fourth quadrant, the reference angle is given as:

reference angle = 2π - 11π/6 = π\6
