Answer: Approximately d = 208.72

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

Work Shown:

Make sure your calculator is in radian mode

A quick way to check is to compute cos(pi) and you should get -1

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(x) = 200/d

cos(0.29) = 200/d

d*cos(0.29) = 200

d = 200/cos(0.29)

d = 208.715135166392 which is approximate

d = 208.72

I rounded to two decimal places since x is rounded in that manner as well. Round however else you need if your teacher instructs.

Hello,

m\ \widehat{ABC}=x\\m\ \widehat{BAC}=2*x\\\\So:\\ x+2x=90^o\\x=30^o\\

cos(30^o)=\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \\

In the triangle ABC,

cos(30^o)=\frac{BC}{BA} \\\\BA=\dfrac{cos(30^o)}{BC} \\\\BA=\frac{\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2} }{24} =16*\sqrt{3} \\\\

sin(30^o)=\dfrac{1 }{2} =\dfrac{AC}{AB} \\\\AC=\dfrac{1}{2} *16\sqrt{3} =8\sqrt{3}

In the triangle ACB,

cos(30^o)=\dfrac{AC}{AL} \\\\AL=\dfrac{8\sqrt{3} *2}{\sqrt{3} } =16\\

Can someone help me i keep getting different answer!!

Answer:

The second option: 3 (6 - 5n)/20n

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure all fractions have a common denominator:

Step 1. Find a common multiple between all three denominators

5, 4, and 10 all have a common multiple of 20. Proof: 5 × 4 = 20, 4 × 5 = 20, and 10 × 2 = 20

Step 2. Multiply the denominators to get to 20. Whatever you do to the bottom (denominator) must be done to the top (numerator).

1/5n × 4/4 = 4/20n

3/4 × 5n/5n = 15n/20n

7/10n × 2/2 = 14/20n

Your fractions now all have a common denominator of 20n.

Rewrite the equation using the new fractions:

4/20n - 15n/20n + 14/20n

Only focus on adding/subtracting the numerators; the denominators will stay the same: 20n.

(4 - 15n + 14)/20n

Combine like terms:

(18 - 15n)/20n

Factor out any numbers possible:

3(6 - 5n)/20n

Note* 3 go into both 18 and 15, which allows us to factor 3 out. 18 ÷ 3 = 6 and 15 ÷ 3 = 5, giving us our new numbers inside the parentheses.

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle has all its sides to be equal..

so.
