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°

Which of the following is the graph of the quadratic function? y=x^2+4-12
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Graph B

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions to a quadratic equation are the points on which we have the graph of the curve touching the x-axis

Now the first thing we will do here is to solve the quadratic equation graph;

x^2 + 4x -12 = 0

x^2 +6x - 2x -12 = 0

x (x + 6) -2(x + 6) = 0

(x-2)(x + 6) = 0

x = 2 or -6

So the graph that touches the x-axis at the points x = 2 and x = -6 is the solution to the quadratic equation

Graph B is the closest to what we have as answer

What else would need to be congruent to show that ABC XYZ by ASA?
pochemuha
ASA stands for "angle side side" and we are already given two angles. That means we need a side. That eliminates two of the choices. I would assume that the answer is A, because XY and AB are in between the given angles.
