What is the hypotenuse of an triangle with sides 6 and 8 and angles 30 and 60 degrees?

klemol [59]

Hypotenuse ^2 = base^2 + perpendicular ^2

H^2 = 6^2 + 8^2
H^2 = 36 + 64
H^2 = 100
H = 10

(This is a right angle triangle as 60+30= 90
180-90= 90)

Triangles PIC Included

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

sin70° = x/6

Step-by-step explanation:

When we draw out our picture and triangle, we should see that our angle is on the ground 70°, the height <em>x</em> is across from the angle and is the vertical leg up, and that our hypotenuse is equal to 6:

sin70° = x/6

Rich measured the height of a desk to be 80.7 cm. The actual height of the desk is 80 cm. What is Rich's percent error in this c

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

0.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Rich measured the height of a desk to be 80.7 cm. The actual height of the desk is 80 cm.

We will use percentage error formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Percentage error}=\frac{\text{Experimental value-Actual value }}{\text{Actual actual}}\times 100$

$\text{Percentage error}=\frac{80.7-80}{80}\times 100$

$\text{Percentage error}=\frac{0.7}{80}\times 100$

$\text{Percentage error}=0.00875\times 100$

$\text{Percentage error}=0.875\approx 0.9$

Therefore, Rich's percent error in calculation is 0.9%.

Write a expression the product of eght and seven less than a number

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that you are multiplying 8 and something together. So to start with, it looks like this.

8*something.

Now you have to get 7 less a number which is 7 - x

So something is 7 - x

8(7 - x) is your answer.

A pumpkin is launched from the top of a 20 foot tall platform at an initial velocity of 84 feet per second. The height, h, of th

Gennadij [26K]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this problem we have a pumpkin is launched from the top of a 20 foot tall platform at an initial velocity of 84 feet per second. So the height, h, of the pumpkin at time t seconds after the launch can be modeled by the equation:

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 84t + 20$

So this is the equation of a parabola. The maximum of this parabola occurs at its vertex. So let's find this vertex:

$\text{The x-value of the vertex is}: \\ \\ t=-\frac{b}{2a} \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ a=-16 \\ \\ b=84 \\ \\ c=20 \\ \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{-32} \\ \\ t=\frac{21}{8}=2.625 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-16(2.625)^2+84(2.625)+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-110.25+220.5+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=130.25m$

Finally, the maximum occurs at time 2.625 seconds when the height is 130.25m
