A number less than three would be 1 or 2.
If you learned about the 45-45-90 triangle (which is isosceles), then the faster way is to know that the hypotenuse (side opposite of right angle) is √2 times either one of the sides.
3√2 = (√2)x
x = 3
But if you didn't learn the 45-45-90 triangle yet, that's ok.
Recall the trigonometric ratios for right triangles: sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan).
If your angle is x, then
sin(x) = opposite side / hypotenuse
cos(x) = adjacent side / hypotenuse
tan(x) = opposite side / adjacent side
Remember the hypotenuse is the side opposite and across from the right angle (3√2 in this case).
An acronym to remember this is SohCahToa.
In this problem, the angle given is 45°, and you need to find the length of the adjacent side x. The hypotenuse is also given as 3√2.
Because we have the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, we use cosine to relate those two sides
cos(45°) = x / (3√2)
x = (3√2)cos45°
If you plug this into your calculator (in degree mode), then
x = 3
For 1. The bike is going 24 miles in 3 hours. To figure out how many miles it went in 1 hour you divide 24/3 which is 8 miles. If the bike went 8 miles per hour then you may now multiply it by 10 to find the total mileage in 10 hours. 10x8=80
Answer:
He has 10 nickels and 5 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
We can take advantage of the ratio by dividing 40 by 8, giving us that every 1 in the ratio = 5. So we can multiply 2 x 5 = 10 and 1 x 5 = 5.
Hope this Helps!
