!!! find the indicated side of the triangle PLZ HELP

Mathematics
1 answer:
taurus [48]3 years ago

Answer:

a=17√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a right triangle with the measure of one angle being 45°, and one of the sides being measured 17

we need to find a

first, let's find the measure of the other angle

because it's a right triangle, the sum of the acute angles are complementary, meaning they add up to 90°

let's make the unknown degree of the other angle x

so that means to find x:

45+x=90

subtract 45 from both sides

x=45°

that means the measure of the other angle is 45°

You may notice since we have two angles with the same measure, that means this triangle is isosceles.

That means the other leg (the other side that isn't marked) is also 17

of course, you could solve for a using Pythagorean theorem, but there's actually a shortcut:

in 45°-45°-90°Δ, the legs are a specific value, and the hypotenuse (the side opposite from the 90° is the value of the legs*√2 (for example, if the legs are 3, then the hypotenuse is 3√2). To remember the rule, if the legs have a measure of s, the hypotenuse has a measure of s√2

therefore the measure of a is 17√2

Hope this helps!

Solve for m pls? I'd seriously appreciate it!
Vilka [71]

Answer:

m=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by multiplying both sides by 2, this will get rid of the fraction on the left side and will result in the equation 12m+6=2m-4

Then, subtract 2m from both sides, which leaves the equation as 10m+6=-4

Then, subtract 6 from both sides, this results with the equation 10m=-10

Finally, divide both sides by 10, this will result in m=-1

Find the error and then find the correct answer.​
qaws [65]

Answer:

  • w = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The correct one is given below:</u>

- 5 - 4w = - 17

<u>+5            + 5</u>

     -<u> 4</u>w = <u>-12</u>

      - 4      -4          

        w = 3

The error is 4w instead of - 4w

Perpendicular lines intersect to form four right angles. never always sometimes
natima [27]

Answer:

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of a perpendicular line is that it intersects another at a 90 degree angle. Using this, by verticals, the opposite corner angle must also be 90-degrees, and since one side of a line is 180 degrees, 180-90 = 90, which ensure the rest of the angles will be 90 degrees too.
