#2)
A) Let a = the side opposite the 15° angle; a = 1.35.
Let B = the angle opposite the side marked 4; m∠B = 50.07°.
Let C = the angle opposite the side marked 3; m∠C = 114.93°.
B) b = 10.77
m∠A = 83°
a = 15.11
Explanation
#1)
A) We know that the sine ratio is opposite/hypotenuse. The side opposite the 25° angle is b, and the hypotenuse is 25:
sin 25 = b/25
Multiply both sides by 25:
25*sin 25 = (b/25)*25
25*sin 25 = b
10.57 = b
B) The first way we can find a is using the Pythagorean theorem. In Part A above, we found the length of b, the other leg of the triangle, and we know the measure of the hypotenuse:
a²+(10.57)² = 25²
a²+111.7249 = 625
Subtract 111.7249 from both sides:
a²+111.7249 - 111.7249 = 625 - 111.7249
a² = 513.2751
Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √513.2751
a = 22.66
The second way is using the cosine ratio, adjacent/hypotenuse. Side a is adjacent to the 25° angle, and the hypotenuse is 25:
cos 25 = a/25
Multiply both sides by 25:
25*cos 25 = (a/25)*25
25*cos 25 = a
22.66 = a
The third way is using the other angle. First, find the measure of angle A by subtracting the other two angles from 180:
m∠A = 180-(90+25) = 180-115 = 65°
Side a is opposite ∠A; opposite/hypotenuse is the sine ratio:
a/25 = sin 65
Multiply both sides by 25:
(a/25)*25 = 25*sin 65
a = 25*sin 65
a = 22.66
#2)
A) Let side a be the one across from the 15° angle. This would make the 15° angle ∠A. We will define b as the side marked 4 and c as the side marked 3. We will use the law of cosines:
a² = b²+c²-2bc cos A
a² = 4²+3²-2(4)(3)cos 15
a² = 16+9-24cos 15
a² = 25-24cos 15
a² = 1.82
Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √1.82
a = 1.35
Use the law of sines to find m∠B:
sin A/a = sin B/b
sin 15/1.35 = sin B/4
Cross multiply:
4*sin 15 = 1.35*sin B
Divide both sides by 1.35:
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = (1.35*sin B)/1.35
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = sin B
Take the inverse sine of both sides:
sin⁻¹((4*sin 15)/1.35) = sin⁻¹(sin B)
50.07 = B
Subtract both known angles from 180 to find m∠C:
180-(15+50.07) = 180-65.07 = 114.93°
B) Use the law of sines to find side b:
sin C/c = sin B/b
sin 52/12 = sin 45/b
Cross multiply:
b*sin 52 = 12*sin 45
Divide both sides by sin 52:
(b*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 45)/(sin 52)
b = 10.77
Find m∠A by subtracting both known angles from 180:
180-(52+45) = 180-97 = 83°
Use the law of sines to find side a:
sin C/c = sin A/a
sin 52/12 = sin 83/a
Cross multiply:
a*sin 52 = 12*sin 83
Divide both sides by sin 52:
(a*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 83)/(sin 52)
a = 15.11
Perpendicular line always have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another. Mathematically,
m1*m2=-1
So to be perpendicular to the line given, let's rearrange it to the point slope form of a line...
3y=6x ?3 (not sure what you wanted to type there)
anyway isolating y by dividing both side by three will leave 2x where 2 is the slope.
So for the other line to be perpendicular, m*2=-1, m=-1/2, now we have:
y=-x/2 +b, we can now you the point given to solve for b
4=-2/2 +b
4=-1+b
b=5 so
y=-x/2 +5 or more neatly
y=(10-x)/2
We know that the midpoint is the a point in the center of the line (r). This means that from the midpoint to the endpoint (qr) is half the length of the overall line. This means that 5.7 (the length of qr) units is half the length of the line. Two halves make a whole so 5.7 × 2 = 11.4 units as the length of the entire line qs.
Hope this helps!
