B. Banks want to know if it's risky or not to loan you money
Answer:
x=58 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
A line is 180 degrees. So x+90+32=180. 32+90=122. Now you do 180-122 and you will get 58.
Consider the attached figure. If AB has length 1, then BC has length sin(15°) and CD (the altitude of triangle ABC) has length sin(15°)·cos(15°).
By the double angle formula for sin(α), ...
... sin(2α) = 2sin(α)cos(α)
Rearranging, this gives
... sin(α)·cos(α) = sin(2α)/2
We have
... CD = sin(15°)·cos(15°) = sin(2·15°)/2
... CD = sin(30°)/2 = (1/2)/2 = 1/4
That is, the altitude, CD, is 1/4 the hypotenuse, AB, of triangle ABC.
The triangles are similar because all pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
