Answer: Last option.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to remember that a Right triangle is a triangle that has an angle that measures 90 degrees.
By definition, given a Right triangle, if you draw an altitutde from the vertex of the angle that measures 90 degrees (The right angle) to the hypotenuse, the measure of that altitude is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.
In this case, you have the Right triangle
given in the picture attached.
You can notice that
goes from the vertex of right angle (
) to the hypotenuse
. Therefore, it divides the hypotenuse into two segments. These are:
and 
Therefore,
is the geometric mean of the segments
and
.
Answer:
20 meters north.
Step-by-step explanation:
(I did it on a paper not to lose track.) First we go 25 north. Then ten east. Five south. And 10 west again. So in East/West we didn't move but we moved 5 down/south so we are still at twenty. If you don't understand still draw it on a paper.
Answer:
x = 28.744
Step-by-step explanation:
Seeing as this is a right triangle, and you're given an angle, an unknown measurement to the opposite side, and the measure of the adjacent side. You can use trig functions. In this case, tangent, because you are given the opposite and adjacent, and tangent covers opposite/adjacent.
Tan(32)=x/46
Tan(32)46=x
28.744=x
