Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

so the angles of a triangle add up to 180 and since it shows two angles of 60 which makes 120, you have 60 more degrees which means A has to be 60 degrees. so if all of the angles are the same then the side lengths are the same so since it already shows one side =9 then x=9

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

missing angle + 60 + 60=180 degree (sum of interior angles of a triangle

missing angle + 120 =180

missing angle =180 -120

missing angle =60 degree

since all angles are 60 degree it is an equilateral triangle and all sides of a equailateral triangle are equal .So, x is also 9

What is the side length of the largest square that can fit into a circle with a radius of 5 units?

Mariana [72]

So 1st consider that it's a square! That's very important. So for a square, all 4 sides are equal.

And now considering that the given information is the diameter. So any angle made at the circle extended from the 2 points of diameter gives an angle of 90°

Now consider one triangle. So we already know that 2 sides of the triangle are equal (because they are 2 sides of a square) , has a side of 10 (diameter) and and angle of 90°. So remaining 2 angles are 45°

Now solve it by applying

$\sin(45) \: \: \: \: = x \div 10 \\ (1 \div \sqrt{2} ) = (x \div 10) \\ 10 \div \sqrt{2} \: = x$

You stand a known distance from the base of the tree, measure the angle of elevation the top of the tree to be 15â—¦ , and then

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The maximum possible error of in measurement of the angle is $d\theta_1 =(14.36p)^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of elevation is $\theta_1 = 15 ^o = \frac{\pi}{12}$

The height of the tree is h

The distance from the base is D

h is mathematically represented as

$h = D tan \theta$ Note : this evaluated using SOHCAHTOA i,e

$tan\theta = \frac{h}{D}$

Generally for small angles the series approximation of $tan \theta \ is$

$tan \theta = \theta + \frac{\theta ^3 }{3}$

So given that $\theta = 15 \ which \ is \ small$

$h = D (\theta + \frac{\theta^3}{3} )$

$dh = D (1 + \theta^2) d\theta$

=> $\frac{dh}{h} = \frac{1 + \theta ^2}{\theta + \frac{\theta^3}{3} } d \theta$

Now from the question the relative error of height should be at most

$\pm p$ %

=> $\frac{dh}{h} = \pm p$

=> $\frac{1 + \theta ^2}{\theta + \frac{\theta^3}{3} } d \theta = \pm p$

=> $d\theta = \pm \frac{\theta + \frac{\theta^3}{3} }{1+ \theta ^2} * \ p$

So for $\theta_1$

$d\theta_1 = \pm \frac{\theta_1 + \frac{\theta^3_1 }{3} }{1+ \theta_1 ^2} * \ p$

substituting values

$d [\frac{\pi}{12} ] = \pm \frac{[\frac{\pi}{12} ] + \frac{[\frac{\pi}{12} ]^3 }{3} }{1+ [\frac{\pi}{12} ] ^2} * \ p$

=> $d\theta_1 = 0.25 p$

Converting to degree

$d\theta_1 = (0.25* 57.29) p$

$d\theta_1 =(14.36p)^o$

what number must be added to 3 and 8 so that the ratio of the first number to the second number is equal to 3 :4

Grace [21]

The answer is 12.
Steps
If that number is x
(3+x)/(8+x)=3/4
"Cross multply"
4(3+x)=3(8+x)
12+4x=24+3x
x=12
To check: add 12 to 3 and 8. 3+12=15 and 8+12=20. 15/20=3/4
