Answer:

To solve for x,  I would use Cosine.

This is because cosine holds the ratio of adjacent/hypotenuse. Based on the diagram, we can see that HYPOTENUSE = x, so we are solving for x. We know the angle, is 17 degrees. Lastly, we know the triangle leg ADJACENT to the angle is 10 units long. So we would use cosine, implementing the ratio adjacent/hypotenuse. Solving this, we would use cos(17)=10/x. Then our goal is to isolate x, so cos(17)=10/x becomes cos(17)*x=10, we are still trying to isolate x, so, x=10/cos(17). Therefore, our answer  x = 10.457 units. cosine would be the best way to go.

How do I construct bisectors, angles, & segments?
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These come directly from my textbook, so I'm not sure if your teacher will accept this kind of work.

1. Angle construction:

Given an angle. construct an angle congruent to the given angle.

Given: Angle ABC

Construct: An angle congruent to angle ABC

Procedure:

1. Draw a ray. Label it ray RY.

2. Using B as center and any radius, draw an arc that intersects ray BA and ray BC. Label the points of intersection D and E, respectively.

3. Using R as center and the same radius as in Step 2, draw an arc intersecting ray RY. Label the arc XS, with S being the point where the arc intersects ray RY.

4. Using S as center and a radius equal to DE, draw an arc that intersects arc XS at a point Q.

5. Draw ray RQ.

Justification (for congruence): If you draw line segment DE and line segment QS, triangle DBE is congruent to triangle QRS (SSS postulate) Then angle QRS is congruent to angle ABC.

You can probably also Google videos if it's hard to imagine this. Sorry, construction is super hard to describe.

The measures of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:3:4. In degrees, the measure of the largest angle of the triangle is
notsponge [240]
Since the three angles of a triangle add to give 180°

The the size of the largest angle 4 = 180° × \frac{4}{2+3+4}
                                                       =  180° × \frac{4}{9}

∴ the size of the largest angle = 80°
