Answer:
x = 16.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know the measure of an acute angle (31 degrees) of a right angle triangle, and of the side opposite to the angle (10), and we need to find the measure of the adjacent side "x", we use the tangent function:
which rounded to one decimal is
x = 16.6
Answer:
the best way to solve this is to have graph paper, so your numbers and points align. I have a model attached. the first point is hours slept 8. so on your graph go to 8 then across to 83, which is the test score. make a mark to represent this point. do this for all and it will create a line
<u>Let's consider the facts at hand</u>:
- By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
- ∠BEC = ∠DFC
- Sides BE = DF
<u>Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar</u>
⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem
⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC
⇒ the two triangles are similar
Hope that helps!
<em>Definitions of Theorem I used:</em>
- <u><em>Vertical Angle Theorem: </em></u><em>opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal</em>
- <u><em>Angle-Angle Theorem:</em></u><em> if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar</em>

This is an equilateral triangle, which is a triangle that has 3 congruent/equal sides and 3 congruent angles.
To find "x", you can set the sides equal to each other because they are suppose to be the same length (you can just do two sides because all of the sides are the same)
[Side AB = Side BC]
4x - 10 = 3x + 2 Subtract 3x on both sides
x - 10 = 2 Add 10 on both sides
x = 12
[proof]
Side AB:
4x - 10 Plug in 12 for x
4(12) - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38
Side BC:
3x + 2 Plug in 12 for x
3(12) + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38
Side AC:
5x - 22 Plug in 12 for x
5(12) - 22 = 60 - 22 = 38
This is also an equilateral triangle (the tick marks show that the sides are the same)
A triangle is 180°. So the three angles add up to 180°.
Since this is an equilateral triangle, all the angles should be the same.
Each angle is 60°
[60° + 60° + 60° = 180° or you could have divided 180 by 3 = 60]
Now that you know each angle is 60°, you can do:
(2x - 4)° = 60°
2x - 4 = 60 Add 4 on both sides
2x = 64 Divide 2 on both sides
x = 32
