Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 16.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$

$c^{2} = 6^{2} + 15^{2}$

$c^{2} = 36 + 225$

$c^{2} = 261$

$\sqrt{c^{2} } = \sqrt{261}$

$c = 16.2$

Find the x-values that are solutions of the equation 5cot^2x-15=0

julia-pushkina [17]

First solve for the trig function 'cot'
$cot^2 x = \frac{15}{5} = 3$

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)
$cot x = \pm \sqrt{3}$

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

$tan x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.

$x = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}$

Since C is 61 degrees, A is 90 degrees because of the right angle, and B would be 29 degrees because you add 61 and 90 together and subtract that amount from 180.

Wait I'm sorry if this is what you aren't looking for-
