Answer:

opposite\approx 70.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in the given problem is a right triangle, as the tower forms a right angle with the ground. This means that one can use the right angle trigonometric ratios to solve this problem. The right angle trigonometric ratios are as follows;

sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Please note that the names (opposite) and (adjacent) are subjective and change depending on the angle one uses in the ratio. However the name (hypotenuse) refers to the side opposite the right angle, and thus it doesn't change depending on the reference angle.

In this problem, one is given an angle with the measure of (35) degrees, and the length of the side adjacent to this angle. One is asked to find the length of the side opposite the (35) degree angle. To achieve this, one can use the tangent (tan) ratio.

tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Substitute,

tan(35)=\frac{opposite}{100}

Inverse operations,

tan(35)=\frac{opposite}{100}

100(tan(35))=opposite

Simplify,

100(tan(35))=opposite

70.02\approx opposite

A triangle has a perimeter of 51 cm. If the three sides of the triangle are n, 4n-4, and 4n-8, what is the length of each side?
True [87]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The three sides add to 51

n      +    4n-4    +   4n-8   = 51

9n -12 = 51

9n = 63

n = 7        4n-4 = 24      4n-8 = 20

If you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago. How old am I?
mestny [16]

Answer:

You are currently 40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the current age is represented by the variable x.

x = current age

The question says that "if you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago"

This can be represented like this:

1/2(x) + 7 = x - 13

Now we solve for x using basic algebra:

1/2(x) = x - 20

-1/2(x) = -20

x = 40

To check if this is correct, plug it back into the equation and see if both sides equal each other:

1/2(40) + 7 = (40) - 13

20 + 7 = 27

27 = 27

Hope this helps (●'◡'●)
