lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

This is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

If this is true it is a right triangle

5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

25+144 = 169

169 =169

This is true so this is a right triangle

In ΔCDE, the measure of ∠E=90°, the measure of ∠C=70°, and DE = 12 feet. Find the length of CD to the nearest tenth of a foot

Radda [10]

Answer:

$CD = 4.4ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$DE = 12$

$\angle C = 70^\circ$

Required

Find CD

This question is represented with the attached triangle

To solve CD, we make use of tan formula.

$tan(70) = \frac{DE}{CD}$

Substitute 12 for DE

$tan(70) = \frac{12}{CD}$

Make CD the subject

$CD = \frac{12}{tan(70)}$

$CD = \frac{12}{2.7475}$

$CD = 4.4ft$ --- approximated
