<u>Question:</u>
In triangle FGH, the measure of angle H = 90°, HG = 48, FH = 55, and GF = 73. What ratio represents the tangent of angle G?
___________________________________________________
<u>Solution:</u>
The triangle FGH should look like that in the attachment.
Tangent of angle G = opposite side/adjacent side
= FH/HG
= 55/48
Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving by elimination here again, there are 2 good options available. Either multiply the whole bottom equation by -1 to cancel the x, or by 2 to cancel the y. I'll do the latter:
Add from top to bottom:
Now, with the value of x, solve for y in either of the equations. I'll choose the second one here:
(x, y) = (3, 5)
