In ∆FDH, there are two slash marks in two of its legs. This indicates that this triangle is isosceles. If a triangle is isosceles, then it will have two congruent sides and therefore have two congruent angles.
In ∆FDH, angle D is already given to us as the measure of 80°. We can find out the measure of the other angles of this triangle by using the equation:
80 + 2x = 180
Subtract 80 from both sides of the equation.
2x = 100
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 50
This means that angle F and angle H in ∆FDH both measure 50°.
Now, moving over to the next smaller triangle in the picture is ∆DHG. In this triangle, there are also two legs that are congruent which once again indicates that this triangle is isosceles.
First, we have to solve for angle DHG and we do that by using the information obtained from solving for the angles of the other triangle.
**In geometry, remember that two or more consecutive angles that form a line will always be supplementary; the angles add up to 180°.**
In this case angle DHF and angle DHG are consecutive angles which form a linear pair. So, we can use the equation:
Angle DHF + Angle DHG = 180°
50° + Angle DHG = 180°.
Angle DHG = 130°.
Now that we know the measure of one angle in ∆DHG, we can use the same method as the previous step for solving the missing angles. Use the equation:
130 + 2x = 180
2x = 50
x = 25
The other two missing angles of ∆DHG are 25°. This means that the measure of angle 1 is also 25°.
Solution: 25°
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm just guessing because you don't give any numbers or anything at all
The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)
For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft
For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft
Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft
The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.
If A and B are complementary angles, then they add up to 90 degrees.
So A + B = 90 => (x + 24) + (x + 16) = 90 => 2x + 40 = 90 => 2x = 50.
So x = 25, and thus, the measurement of B is (25 + 16) = 41.
The measurement of angle A is (25 + 24) = 49, and indeed they are complementary.
