Because ft is bigger than inches and 1ft is 12 inches
You don't even need the picture to solve this one.
You said that h = 5 cot(Θ) , and you said that Θ is 30 degrees.
All you need now is to find the cotangent of Θ, plop that into the equation,
and the solution practically jumps off the paper into your lap.
To find the cotangent of 30 degrees, you can use a calculator, look it up
in a book, read it off of a slide rule if you have one, draw a picture of a
30-60-90 right triangle etc. You'll find that the cotangent of 30 degrees
is √3 . That's about 1.732 .
So your equation is h = 5 (1.732) = <em>8.66 </em>(rounded)
Apparently, somebody gave you the equation, and asked you to find 'h'.
Once you had the equation, you didn't even need to know that 'h' has
anything to do with a triangle.
Answer:
x = (y+w)/k
Step-by-step explanation:
xk-w=y
Add w to each side
xk-w+w=y+w
xk = y+w
Divide each side by k
xk/k = (y+w)/k
x = (y+w)/k
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to check this.
Remember that the squares of the lengths of the two smaller sides should be equal to the square of the bigger side.
10,11,15 = NO
5,12,13 = YES
12,15,20 = NO
16,30,34= YES
Hope this helps.
