Answer:

<em>x=33.9°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Trigonometric Ratios</u>

In a right triangle, i.e. the triangles that have an internal angle of 90°, the so-called trigonometric ratios are valid.

There are six trigonometric ratios that can be used in right triangles, depending on the data available for each problem.

The current question gives us two sides in a right triangle and requires us to calculate the angle x.

The angle x 'looks' at the sides of the triangle in this way: RS=70 is the adjacent leg, SQ=47 is the opposite leg, and RQ is the hypotenuse.

We should use the trigonometric ratio that relates both the adjacent and the opposite led. There are two possibilities: The tangent and the cotangent. We'll use the tangent for no particular reason.

The tangent of an angle is defined as:

\displaystyle \tan\x=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}\\

Use the given values:

\displaystyle \tan x=\frac{47}{70}=0.6714

Using a calculator (in degree mode), we calculate the angle:

x=\tan^{-1}(0.6714)=33.9^\circ

x=33.9°

Alex, Ian, and Ric together sold 48 tickets for the school fund-raiser. Alex sold 11 tickets and Ian sold 18 tickets. How many t
eimsori [14]
To determine the number of tickets that Ric sold, subtract from the total tickets sold the sum of the number of tickets sold by Alex and Ian. This is mathematically shown as, 

                        tickets (Ric) = tickets (total) - (tickets (Alex) + tickets (Ian))

                                  tickets (Ric) = 48 - (11 + 18) = 19

Hence, Ric sold 19 tickets for the fundraising.

Find the surface area of the triangular prism shown below .
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

the surface area should be 544 (whatever the unit is)

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by taking the rectangles on the side and finding their area.

1. (10×14)×2 ←Because there are two rectanglular sides.

2. find the area of the triangles on the side. 1/2bh = area of triangle.

(.5×8×6)×4 ← in order to find the area for all of the triangles.

3.  lastly take the base of the prism and find the area then add the previously found values together.

(12×14)+(.5×8×6)×4+ (10×14)×2 = 544
