Both Rhianna and Christopher were correct as they took different reference angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

$tan \theta = \frac{opposite side}{adjacentside} .$

The value of the tan of a reference angle is calculated using the above formula.

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle is always opposite the right angle of the triangle.

In this triangle, the hypotenuse is the side measuring 5 units.

Step 2:

When the reference angle is A, the opposite side measures 3 units and the adjacent side measures 4 units.

So $tan A = \frac{3}{4} .$

When the reference angle is C, the opposite side measures 4 units and the adjacent side measures 3 units.

So $tan C = \frac{4}{3} .$

So both Rhianna and Christopher were right as they took different reference angles i.e. A and C.

Here’s Question three

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

BD = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, AD is an angle bisector of ∠BAC,

m∠BAD = m∠CAD = 20°

CD = 3 units

In ΔACD and ΔABD,

m∠BAD = m∠CAD = 20° (Given)

AD ≅ AD [Reflexive property]

Therefore, by H-A property of congruence both the triangles will be congruent.

And by CPCTC,

CD ≅ BD = 3 units

Two boats leave the same place at the same time. The first boat heads due north at 10 kilometers per hour. The second boat heads

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

18.87 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

First boat is heading North with a speed of 10 km/hr.

Second boat is heading West with a speed of 16 km/hr.

Time for which they move = 2.5 hours

To find:

The speed at which the distance is increasing between the two boats.

Solution:

Let the situation be represented by the attached diagram.

Their initial position is represented by point O from where they move towards point A and point B respectively.

$Distance = Speed \times Time$

$Distance\ OA = 10 \times 2.5 = 25\ km$

$Distance\ OB = 16 \times 2.5 = 40\ km$

We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance AB.

AB is the hypotenuse of the right angled $\triangle AOB$ .

According to Pythagorean theorem:

$\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 25^2 + 40^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 2225^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 \approx 47.17\ km$

The speed at which distance is increasing between the two boats is given as:

$\dfrac{47.17}{2.5} \approx 18.87\ km/hr$

Ugo [173]

Alright,

(a) 2x+4(x-1)=2
2x+4x-4=2---- Distrubution of 4(x-1)
6x-4=2---- Combining like terms
6x=6---- Making -4 equal 0 by adding +4 to both sides
x=1---- Divide the coefficiant (6)

(b) 25-x=15-(3x+10)
25-x=15-3x-10----Distribute the -1
25-x=5-3x---- Combine like terms
25=5-2x---- Make -x equal 0 by adding +x to both sides
20=-2x---- Make 5 equal zero by subtracting 5 (or adding -5) to both sides
-10=x---- Divide by the coefficiant (-2)

(c) 4x= 2x+2x+5(x-x)
4x=2x+2x+5(0)---- Distribute. Alright this might look hard but realy it is 1x-1x so the answer is 0
4x=2x+2x---- 5 times 0 is 0
4x=4x---- Combine like terms
x=x ---- divide by the coefficiant

Alright! Hope this helps! ;)
