Since you need a little bit of trigonometry to solve this problem,
I'm pretty sure you've had a little bit of trigonometry in class before
you were assigned to solve this problem.
-- The shaded triangle comes from taking the equilateral triangle and
either folding it in half or cutting it in half.
-- The base that the new triangle is standing on is 1/2 the base of the
equilateral triangle, so it's 7 cm long.
-- The acute angle at the right end of the base is the same as it was in
the equilateral triangle . . . 60 degrees.
-- The tangent of 60 degrees is (opposite side)/(adjacent side) = x / 7 cm
tan(60) = x/7
-- Multiply each side of this little equation by 7 : 7 tan(60) = x
If you don't have the tangent of 60 degrees in your pocket, you can
find it with your calculator. Multiply it by 7, and Shazam, you know 'x' .
Answer:
I dont understand that sorry
Answer: x = -14/5
Step-by-step explanation: We shall begin by expanding the brackets for both sides of the equation
-2/3 (x + 2) = 1/6 (x + 6)
(-2x/3) -4/3 = (x/6) + 1
By collecting like terms we now have
(-2x/3) - (x/6) = 1 + 4/3
(-4x - x)/6 = 7/3
-5x/6 = 7/3
By cross multiplication we now have
-5x (3) = 7 (6)
-15x = 42
x = -(42/15) {simplify further by dividing the RHS by 3}
x = -14/5
Therefore x equals, minus fourteen over five (-14/5)
Answer:
x = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
F = 180 - (90 + 42)
F = 48
2x + 64 + 48 = 180
2x = 180 - 64 - 48
2x = 68
x = 68/2
x = 34
Oh shucks man, I'm sorry bout that
