Answer:
1/3 times 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer is 1/3 * 1/3 because when you divide with fraction you make the 3 or 3/1 turned around which is 1/3, then you multiply 1/3 * 1/3
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
because we know the lines intersect we also know the 2 angles are vertical meaning they are equal to each other
Knowing the angles are equal to each other you can make the equation
2x + 29 = 9x - 13
then you solve for x in this equation
2x + 29 = 9x - 13
(subtract 2x from both sides)
29 = 7x - 13
(add 13 to both sides)
42 = 7x
(divide by 7 on both sides)
6 = x
x = 6
You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
Use the following identities:
Also because the angle is in quadrant 3, sin must be negative.
Therefore
Subbing in tan = 0.958
