X is a 90 degree angle so x equals half of 90 which is 45
X= 45
Since x is 45 the other angle on the other side is 45
Every triangle equals 180 so you take 45+45 to get 90 and subtract that from 180 and get 90
Y= 90
hope this helped ask questions

What is the length of YZ in XYZ

Studentka2010 [4]

AZ=12 - is hypotenuse

∠XZY=30° ⇒

$XY=\dfrac{1}{2} \times12=6$

$\text{By the Pythagorean theorem}\\YZ=\sqrt{12^2-6^2} =\sqrt{(12-6)(12+6)} =\sqrt{6\times18} =\sqrt{108} =6\sqrt{3}$

A building that is 750 feet tall casts a shadow the is 111 feet long. find the angle of of elevation, in degrees, to the sun.

stepan [7]

Imagine the shadow and the building height forms a right angle triangle;

We know the height and the shadow make up the "legs" of the triangle,

a²+b²=c²
(750)²+(111)²=c²
562500+12321=c²
574821=c²
c=√574821
c=758.169 ≈ 758.2 ft

A grocery store sells a bag of 5 potatoes for $2. What is the unit cost if each potato in the bag

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Unit cost: $2.50 per potato

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion:

<h2><u>5 potatoes</u> = <u>x potatoes</u></h2><h2>2 dollars 1 dollar</h2><h2 />

cross multiply:

2x = 5

divide by 2 on both sides

x= 5/2 or 2.5

Contains the point (-1, 2) and is parallel to<br> x – 2y = -3

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange x - 2y = - 3 into this form

Subtract x from both sides

- 2y = - x - 3 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x + $\frac{3}{2}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with m = $\frac{1}{2}$

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 2) into the partial equation

2 = - $\frac{1}{2}$ + c ⇒ c = 2 + $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x + $\frac{5}{2}$ ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2

2y = x + 5 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

0 = x - 2y + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 5 = x - 2y, thus

x - 2y = - 5 ← in standard form
