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

Juana is 4 feet 8 inches tall. She won 1st place in a cross country race. To receive her medal she stood on a platform that was
ioda

Answer:

The distance from the top of her head to the floor is 6 feet 2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

In his case Juana's height is given to us with two kinds of units, feet and inches, in order to make our solution easyer we will transform her height to only inches. In 1 feet we have 12 inches, so we need to take the part of her height that is given in feet and multiply it by 12. We have:

height = 4*12 + 8 = 56 inches

Since she is in a platform that is 18 inches tall the distance from the top of her head to the floor is her height plus the height of the platform. We have:

distance = height + platform = 56 + 18 = 74 inches

We can now transform back to a mixed unit, we do that by dividing the distance by 12 that will be the "feet" part and the res of the division will be the "inches" part. We have:

distance = 74/12 = 6 feet 2 inches

The distance from the top of her head to the floor is 6 feet 2 inches.

What is the perimeter of the triangle?<br>​
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

30 units

Step-by-step explanation:

if you count the boxes that each side takes up you get the first side being equal to 5 units and the base being equal to 12 units. because this is a right triangle to find the length of the hypotenuse you have to use the Pythagorean equation. when you input the values into the equation you get 5^2 + 12^2 = 169 which square roots to 13. after doing this you have the length of the final side, now input them into the formula for the perimeter of a triangle which is a + b + c and you get a perimeter of 30 units,

Please mark as brainliest :)
