Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf x \approx 1.9}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find x, a missing side in a triangle.

This is a right triangle because there is a small square in the corner representing a 90 degree or right angle. Therefore, we can use right triangle trigonometry. The three main functions are:

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

Examine the triangle. We will use angle S, measuring 54 degrees, for theta. Side QR, measuring x, is <u>opposite</u> angle S. Side QS, measuring 2.3, is the <u>hypotenuse</u> because it is opposite the right angle. Since we have the opposite and hypotenuse, we will use sine.

sin \theta = \frac {opposite}{hypotenuse}

  • θ= 54
  • opposite= x
  • hypotenuse = 2.3

sin (54)= \frac{ x}{2.3}

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 2.3 The inverse operation of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 2.3

2.3* sin (54)= \frac{x}{2.3}*2.3

2.3* sin (54)=x

2.3*0.8090169944=x

1.860739087 =x

Round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place to the right tells us to round the 8 up to a 9.

1.9 \approx x

x is approximately <u>1.9</u>

triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 units What is the height of the triangle?
fiasKO [112]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The equilateral triangle has three equal sides

so

in the equilateral triangle ABC

AB=BC=AC=16 units

the height of the triangle is the segment BD

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}

solve for BD

BD^{2}=BC^{2}-DC^{2}

substitute the values

BD^{2}=16^{2}-8^{2}

BD^{2}=192

BD=\sqrt{192}\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the height of the triangle is \sqrt{192}\ units

Solve by Elimination:<br> 8x + 6y = -5<br> 10x + 6y= -13
jonny [76]

Answer:

x= -4 and y= 27/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-(8x + 6y = -5) which converts to -8x -6y = 5

10x + 6y = -13

simplify from there

-8x + 10x = 2x ; -6y + 6y = 0 ; 5 - 13 = -8

soo, now you have

2x = -8

x = -4

then, plug in to find y

8(-4) + 6y = -5

-32 + 6y = -5   add 32 on both sides

6y = 27    divide both sides by 6

y= 27/6 or 4.5
