So to find the answer you need to use SOHCAHTOA 
Sine= Opposite/ Adjacent
Cosine= Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tan = opposite/adjacent

angle ADC is 60 so to find the length of line ABC we would use the angle and the line DC. 
We would use Tan with opposite over adjacent
Tan 60 = opp. / 5 root 3 
opp. = 15 
so that is the length of the entire thing, all you need to do now is find the length of the single line of BC which we can use the same equation with just Tan 30 now.
Tan 30 = opp. / 5 root 3 
opp. = 5 
next you need to take the entire ABC length and subtract the length of BC to get AB
15-5 = 10 
so the answer would be C

Round 75 to the nearest hundredth
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Hundredth? Hundredth is for decimals. If you meant to the nearest Hundred, then it's 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you actually meant hundredths though, then it would be 75, because 75 doesn't have any decimals

send help!!!! Please!! The sum of the measures of the angles from any triangle is 180 degrees. In triangle ABC, angles A and B h
Ratling [72]

Let Angle A = X

Since Angle B is the same, angle B is also X

Then angle C = X +45


Add the 3 angles together: X +X +X +45 = 3x+45


That equals 180 degrees:

3x+45 = 180

Subtract 45 from both sides:

3x = 135

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 135/3

X = 45

Angle A = 45

Angle B = 45

Angle C = 45+45 = 90

Rasek [7]

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of John biking = 10 miles per hour

Time taken by John to travel the route = 1.5 hours

We know that

distance = speed * time

now that we know time and speed for John

we can distance by using the above formula

distance = 10  miles per hour* 1.5  hour = 15 Miles

Thus, the route was 15 miles long.
