Answer:
a = 38⁰
b = 54⁰
c = 54⁰
Step-by-step explanation:
a + 142⁰ = 180⁰ because a straight line = 180⁰
b + 38⁰ + 88⁰ = 180⁰ because the angles of a triangle equal 180⁰, and the missing measurement = 38⁰ because it is a vertical angle to angle a
c + 88⁰ = 142⁰ because the angles are corresponding angles
Answer:
First since 2 of the options ask for the width of BM lets solve for it using the Pythagorean theorem for both sides of point L:
a² + b² = c²
30² + b² = 50²
b² = 50² - 30²
b² = 1600
b = 40 Line BL = 40 ft
Since the ladder is 50 feet it is the same length on the other side as well
a² + b² = c²
40² + b² = 50²
b² = 50² - 40²
b² = 900
b = 30 line LM is 30 ft
SO line lm + line bl = 30 + 40 = 70 ft
A is true because ^
B isn't true because as we solved for earlier, BL is 40
C is true because line LM is in fact 30 ft as we solved for
D is not true because as we said earlier BM is 70
E is true because the same ladder was used on both sides of the street

Answer:
20.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The term "hypotenuse" suggests this triangle is a right triangle. Then the other leg can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 +12^2 = 24^2
x^2 = 576 -144 = 432
x = √432 ≈ 20.8 . . . cm
The other leg is about 20.8 cm.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
A right triangle with a short leg that is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse is the "special" 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The longer leg is √3 times the length of the short leg: 12√3 ≈ 20.8 cm.
