\bf tan(39^o)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{x}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{8}}\implies 8\cdot tan(39^o)=x\implies 6.48\approx x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{sin(39^o)}{x}=\cfrac{sin(51^o)}{8}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot sin(39^o)}{sin(51^o)}=x\implies 6.48\approx x

one thing to bear in mind is that calculators have two modes, Degree mode and Radian mode, if your calculator is in Radian mode and you plug in tan(39), it thinks "tangent of 39 radians" and so it gives that, bearing in mind that 1 radian is about 57°.

So make if you're using degrees as the angle, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode first, thus tan(39) will mean "tangent of 39 degrees".

\bf 8\cdot tan(39~rad) \approx 28.9~\hspace{10em} \cfrac{8\cdot sin(39~rad)}{sin(51~rad)}\approx 11.5

<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. Inscribed angle

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

An inscribed angle has a vertex on the circumference. For any arc, every inscribed angle is exactly half of the central angle. In other words, if the central angle is x^{\circ} and the inscribed angles is y^{\circ}, then it is true that:

y^{\circ}=\frac{x^{\circ}}{2}

In this problem y^{\circ}=36^{\circ}, then the central angle is x^{\circ}=2y^{\circ} \ \therefore x^{\circ}=2(36^{\circ}) \therefore x^{\circ}=72^{\circ}

The statement <S and <H are equal in measure is False

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The similarity statement is given as:

ΔRST is similar to ΔHGF

This means that:

  • Angles R and H are congruent
  • Angles S and G are congruent
  • Angles T and F are congruent

Hence, the statement <S and <H are equal in measure is False

Because S equals G and R equals H
