Answer:

h = 13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, so the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{h}{39}$ = $\frac{16}{48}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

3h = 39 ( divide noth sides by 3 )

h = 13

Answer:

a = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

A bisector creates two equal angles. Set them equal to each other.

5a - 160 = 2a - 1 ( subtract 2a from both sides)

3a = 159 (add 159 to both sides)

a = 53 (divide by 3)

Answer:

12 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

A model ship has a mast that is 7 inches tall. A right triangular sail goes from the top of the mast to 1 inch from the bottom of the mast. The length of the base of the sail is 4 inches. The height of the sail is along the mast. Find the area of the sail.

The sail will form a right triangle with respect to mast, whose height is 6 inches and base is 4 inches as shown in the diagram.

The area of the sail will be equal to area of triangle.

$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base}\times\text{Height})$

$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}(4\text{ in}\times6 \text{in})$

$\text{Area of triangle}=2\text{ in}\times 6 \text{in})$

$\text{Area of triangle}=12 \text{ in}^2$

Therefore, the area of the sail is 12 square inches.
