Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of triangle side lengths are ...

4 : 6 : 8 = 2 : 3 : 4

This is an arithmetic progression.

The only arithmetic progression of side lengths that makes a right triangle is ...

3 : 4 : 5

The triangle is not a right triangle, so AB is not a tangent.

Which proportion could be used to find the length of side b?

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Sine Rule in ΔABC

$\frac{a}{sinA}$ = $\frac{b}{sinB}$ = $\frac{c}{sinC}$

∠C = 180° - (82 + 58)° = 180° - 140° = 40°

Completing values in the above formula gives

$\frac{a}{sin58}$ = $\frac{b}{sin82}$ = $\frac{8.4}{sin40}$

We require a pair of ratios which contain b and 3 known quantities, that is

$\frac{b}{sin82}$ = $\frac{8.4}{sin40}$

$\frac{sin40}{8.4}$ = $\frac{sin82}{b}$ → B

(Geometry) PART A Find the value of X.

guapka [62]

Answer:

Part A: The answer is B.

As vertically opposite angles are equal

x+10=4x-35

10=3x-35

45=3x

x=15

Part B: The answer is D.

We'll substitute in the value of X in one equation.

x+10

=15+10

=25

As the two angles are equal bot must be 25 degrees.

Describe the diagram below using correct geometric names

bagirrra123 [75]

Angles PQT and RQS are vertical angles and angles PQR and TQS are vertical angles.

angle PQS and TQR are straight angles

angles TQP and PQR form a linear pair. they are also adjacent by default. the other angles have these same features.

that should bout do it. hope it helped!
