To find CD use the trig ratio that relates that side you're looking for to the angle you have and the other side you're given. We have that the reference angle is 30, and we also have the hypotenuse of that right triangle on the left. Solving for AC, which is the side opposite, we will use the sin ratio: $sin(30)= \frac{AC}{10}$ . 10 sin(30) = AC. Therefore, AC = 5. Now that have that side measure, we can use that along with the reference angle in the right triangle on the right of 25 to find CD, which happens to be the side adjacent to the reference angle. That satisfies our tangent ratio requirements. Our ratio looks like this then: $tan(25)= \frac{5}{CD}$ . Solving for CD, $CD= \frac{5}{tan(25)}$ and CD = 10.7, the third choice above.

Find AD. Show how you got your answer.

stealth61 [152]

Notice the picture below
the AD line is a bisector, cutting the 36 degrees A in half,
18 and 18 degrees each half

notice the tickmarks, the triangle is an isosceles,
if those two sides are equal, so are the angles they make
down below with the base

now, the base is 8, AD is bisecting that too, to 4 and 4

now, using the Law of Sines

$\bf \textit{Law of sines}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle A)}{a}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle B)}{b}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle C)}{c}\\\\
----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{sin(18^o)}{4}=\cfrac{sin(72^o)}{\overline{AD}}\implies \overline{AD}=\cfrac{4\cdot sin(72^o)}{sin(18^o)}$

keep in mind, the angles are in degrees, so, when taking the sines, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode

Venus's orbital distance from the Sun is 0.72 AU. How long does it take for Venus to complete one orbit around the Sun, compared

qwelly [4]

Answer:

224.7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Venus is the second planet out of the nine planets and it precedes the planet earth. Venus has an orbital distance of 0.72 AU from the sun while Earth has an orbital distance of 149.60 million km from the sun. Due to these distances, the Venus completes one orbit around the sun in 224.7 days while the Earth complete one orbit around the sun in 365.256 days but in a leap year, it completes one orbit around the sun in 366 days.
