Answers:

  • tan(G) = 2
  • tan(H) = 1/2

=======================================

Explanation:

Recall that tangent is the ratio of opposite over adjacent

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

So for reference angle G, we say,

tan(G) = JH/GJ = 2/1 = 2

We'll treat tan(H) in a similar fashion, but the opposite and adjacent sides swap roles. That means we'll apply the reciprocal to the result above to get 1/2 for tan(H)

-----------

So we have this interesting property where

tan(G)*tan(H) = 2*(1/2) = 1

In general,

tan(A)*tan(B) = 1 if and only if A+B = 90 degrees

-----------

Side note: The side sqrt(5) isn't used at all.

Describe the rotation of J
Serga [27]

Answer:

The coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° counterclockwise will be: J'(3, 1)

The coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° clockwise will be: J'(-3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Square JKLM with vertices

  • J(1, -3)
  • K(5, 0)
  • L(8, -4)
  • M(4, -7)

We have to determine the answer for the image J' of the point (1, -3) when we rotate the point by 90° counterclockwise, we need to switch x and y, make y negative.

In other words, the rule to rotate a point by 90° counterclockwise.

P(x, y) → P'(-y, x)

As we are given that J(1, -3), so the coordinates of J' will be:

J(1, -3) → J'(3, 1)

Therefore, the coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° counterclockwise will be:  J'(3, 1).

When the point is rotated by 90° clockwise, we need to switch x and y, make x negative.

In other words, the rule to rotate a point by 90° clockwise.

P(x, y) → P'(y, -x)

As we are given that J(1, -3), so the coordinates of J' will be:

J(1, -3) → J'(-3, -1)

Therefore, the coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° clockwise will be:  J'(-3, -1)

pentagon [3]

Answer: Each time the pentagon is rotated , it maps back onto itself. There are five values of  for which the pentagon maps back onto itself. This is the same as the number of sides of the pentagon.
