Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Incorrect. She forgot to change the sign while distributing.

5x - 3(4-x) = 5x - 12 + 3x = 8x - 12

<h3>Answer:  A.  18*sqrt(3)</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

We'll need the tangent rule

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(R) = TH/HR

tan(30) = TH/54

sqrt(3)/3 = TH/54 ... use the unit circle

54*sqrt(3)/3 = TH .... multiply both sides by 54

(54/3)*sqrt(3) = TH

18*sqrt(3) = TH

TH = 18*sqrt(3) which points to <u>choice A</u> as the final answer

----------------------

An alternative method:

Triangle THR is a 30-60-90 triangle.

Let x be the measure of side TH. This side is opposite the smallest angle R = 30, so we consider this the short leg.

The hypotenuse is twice as long as x, so TR = 2x. This only applies to 30-60-90 triangles.

Now use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(TH)^2 + (HR)^2 = (TR)^2

(x)^2 + (54)^2 = (2x)^2

x^2 + 2916 = 4x^2

2916 = 4x^2 - x^2

3x^2 = 2916

x^2 = 2916/3

x^2 = 972

x = sqrt(972)

x = sqrt(324*3)

x = sqrt(324)*sqrt(3)

x = 18*sqrt(3) which is the length of TH.

A slightly similar idea is to use the fact that if y is the long leg and x is the short leg, then y = x*sqrt(3). Plug in y = 54 and isolate x and you should get x = 18*sqrt(3). Again, this trick only works for 30-60-90 triangles.
