SOVing Problems With Right Triangles: Mastery Test

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

13.86 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be represented by a right angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 16 feet and an angle of 60° between the hypotenuse side and the adjacent side.

The height of the pole is the side opposite to the angle 60°.

The trigonometric function states that for a right angled triangle:

sinθ = opposite / hypotenuse, cosθ = adjacent / hypotenuse, tanθ = opposite/ adjacent

To find the height of the flagpole, we use:

sin(60) = height / 16

height = 16 * sin(60)

height = 13.86 ft

The person with the incorrect reasoning for the height of the flagpole is  Charlie when he should have utilized the  sin function. Because he incorrectly selected the  function.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The box plot will have its left tail longer than the right tail becuase a few exceptionally low prices make the distribution skewed to the left.                                              

Step-by-step explanation:

As seen in the attached file, the box plot has its left tail longer than the right tail because of the exceptionally low prices that is :$2

Firstly arranging the data in increasing order:

$2,$2,$25,$25,$26,$26,$27,$27,$28,$28,$30

Median of the data = 26 (since there are odd numbers)

Lower quartile (Q1) = 25

Upper quartile (Q2) = 26

By plotting the box plot we conclude that the left tail is longer than the right tail.

How do the lengths of the corresponding sides compare? How do you know?
ra1l [238]

Step-by-step explanation:

if two have the same shape, they are called "similar". When two figures are similar, the ratio of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles show are similar, compare their corresponding sides. Triangles ABC is similar to triangle DEF.
