pentagon [3]

I’m having a little issue with my Trigonometry homework. The model of this problem does not have a number for the hypotenuse. Th

us, I concluded that the formula needed to answer this isn’t either the adjacent over hypotenuse or opposite over hypotenuse. However, when I try the formula for tangent, the answer (rounded to the nearest tenth) is 64.9. This isn’t an answer given in this worksheet. The possible answers on said sheet are 23.4 or 25.1. If someone could maybe help me out with this, that would be very appreciated!

Answer:

  x ≈ 23.4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are correct that the given information indicates the tangent function is appropriate.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(59°) = 39/x

Multiply this equation by x/tan(59°) and you get ...

  x = 39/tan(59°)

  x ≈ 39/1.6643 ≈ 23.43

The appropriate answer choice is ...

  x = 23.4

-6h plus 4 - 3plus h equals 11
olga55 [171]

- 6h + 4 - 3 + h = 11
So we start by combining like terms;
- 6h + h =  - 5h
4 - 3 = 1
Now we have;
- 5h + 1 = 11
We then subtract 1 from both sides;
- 5h + 1 = 11
- 5h = 10
Then we divide both sides by 5;
- 5h = 10
- 5h \div  - 5h =  h
10 \div  - 5h =  - 2
Leaving the final answer to be h = -2

A rectangle has a
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

3x + 6y

Step-by-step explanation:

so the perimeter is 12x + 8y and a side is 4x-2y so that means that side and the side across is 8x-4y so you put it all to one side to get 6x +12y then divide that by 2 to find 1 side so the side is 3x + 6y
