Notice the picture below
the AD line is a bisector, cutting the 36 degrees A in half,
18 and 18 degrees each half

notice the tickmarks, the triangle is an isosceles,
if those two sides are equal, so are the angles they make
down below with the base

now, the base is 8, AD is bisecting that too, to 4 and 4

now, using the Law of Sines

\bf \textit{Law of sines}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle A)}{a}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle B)}{b}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle C)}{c}\\\\
----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{sin(18^o)}{4}=\cfrac{sin(72^o)}{\overline{AD}}\implies \overline{AD}=\cfrac{4\cdot sin(72^o)}{sin(18^o)}

keep in mind, the angles are in degrees, so, when taking the sines, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode

Horatio is solving the equation -3/4+2/5x=7/20x-1/2. Which equations represent possible ways to begin solving for x? Check all t
trapecia [35]

Answer:

  • 2/5x=7/20x+1/4
  • -3/4=-1/20x-1/2
  • -3/4+1/20x=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 3/4 to both sides of the equation, you get ...

... 2/5x = 7/20x + 1/4 . . . . first choice

If you subtract 2/5x from both sides of the equation, you get ...

... -3/4 = -1/20x -1/2 . . . . third choice

If you subtract 7/20x from both sides of the equation, you get ...

... -3/4 +1/20x = -1/2 . . . . last choice

Choices 2 and 4 are erroneous versions of choices 1 and 3, so do not apply.

Is 10/18 in decimal form a terminates or repeating decimal
Oksana_A [137]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To write a fraction as a decimal, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

10÷18=0.55555.... (the 5s never end!)

We see that the 5s repeat forever. This means that this is a repeating decimal.

Have a wonderful day! :D

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! I NEED IT
Andreyy89

Answer:

32.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation forms a right triangle. We are given the distance from the base of the tower (long leg of the triangle) and are asked to find the height (short leg of the triangle).

With this information, we can use the tan ratio, opposite over adjacent, to find the height of the tower.

tan 18 = \frac{x}{100}

Multiply each side by 100:

(100) tan 18 = x

Simplify and round to the nearest tenth:

32.49 = x

32.5 = x

So, the height of the tower is approximately 32.5 feet
