Answer: 5..6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Hypotenuse of isosceles triangle is 8 inches

In isosceles triangle two sides are equal

Suppose the other side is x

Using Pythagoras we can write

\Rightarrow x^2+x^2=8^2\\\Rightarrow 2x^2=64\\\Rightarrow x^2=32\\\Rightarrow x=4\sqrt{2}\approx 5.6\ in.

Therefore, the lengths of the legs is 5.6 inches

23 20' 48" is the same as _____. Round to the nearest hundredth of a degree.
boyakko [2]
So this is read as 23 degrees, 20 minutes, and 48 seconds.  Each degree has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds, somewhat like time.  You must start from right to left for this to work.  This may seem complicated but the way to find this is as follows:  
23+(20+(48/60))/60.  A simpler way to see this is by first taking 48/60 which is .8.  Now you take 20+.8 which is 20.8 and you divide it by 60 once more.  This comes out to be approximately .35.  Now you have converted the seconds and minutes to degrees so you add 23+.35 which is 23.35.  Therefore your answer is 23.35 degrees.

Towns P,Q,R and S are shown. Q is 35 km due East of P S is 15km due West of P R is 15km due South of P Work out the bearing of R
Anni [7]

Answer:

Part A

The bearing of the point 'R' from 'S' is 225°

Part B

The bearing from R to Q is approximately 293.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the point 'Q' = 35 km due East of P

The location of the point 'S' = 15 km due West of P

The location of the 'R' = 15 km due south of 'P'

Part A

To work out the distance from 'R' to 'S', we note that the points 'R', 'S', and 'P' form a right triangle, therefore, given that the legs RP and SP are at right angles (point 'S' is due west and point 'R' is due south), we have that the side RS is the hypotenuse side and ∠RPS = 90° and given that \overline{RP} = \overline{SP}, the right triangle ΔRPS is an isosceles right triangle

∴ ∠PRS = ∠PSR = 45°

The bearing of the point 'R' from 'S' measured from the north of 'R' = 180° + 45° = 225°

Part B

∠PRQ = arctan(35/15) ≈ 66.8°

Therefore the bearing  from R to Q = 270 + 90 - 66.8 ≈ 293.2°
