If g=27 and f=54degrees, find h on a triangle. a. h=15.9. b. =14.9. c. 16.9. d. 18.9

1 answer:

4 0

I assume h is the hypotenuse on a triangle. We use trigonometric functions in order to find the value of h. Also, since side g is not specified whether it is adjacent or opposite angle f. We solve using every possible function and see from the choices the correct answer.

h = 27 sin 54 = 21.84
h = 27 cos 54 = 15.9

Therefore, most likely the correct answer is A.

In a right triangle abc, cd is an altitude, such that ad=bc. Find ac, if ab=3 cm, and cd= square root 2 cm.

Mashcka [7]

AC² + BC² = AB² AD² + CD² = AC²

BC² = AB² - AC² BC² + CD² = AC² (AD=BC is given)

BC² = AC² - CD²

AB² - AC² = AC² - CD² (both sides were = to BC²)

AB² + CD² = 2AC²

(3)² + (√2)² = 2AC² (AB=3 and CD=√2 were given)

9 + 2 = 2AC²

11 = 2AC²

$\frac{11}{2}$ = AC²
