Answer:
<h2>x = 6.5 cm</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment 20.2 cm is the tangent. Therefore x and 20.2cm are perpendicular.
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
We have
Substitute:
<em>use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²</em>
<em>subtract x² from both sides</em>
<em>subtract 216.09 from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 29.4</em>
Answer:
We must have two angles and a side.
A is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
For any triangle ABC, the law of sine is given by
From this formula it is clear that in order to find the length of the side of the triangle, we must have two angles and a side.
Let us understand this by assuming that we need to find a (length of the side). From the formula, we have
Thus, to find the length a, we must have b, sin A and sin B.
Hence, o find the length of the side of the triangle, we must have two angles and a side.
Option I
(3x+4)cm =(2x+10)cm
3x-2x=6
x=6
Option II
(3x+4)= (x+12)
3x-x=12-4
2x=8
x=4
Option III
(2x+10)= (x+12)
2x-x=12-10
x=2
Answer:
328 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From a boat ont he lake, the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff is 11° 50'. If the base of the cliff is 1568 feet from the boat, how high is the cliff (to the nearest foot)
Step 1
Note that
that 11°50' is just 11 degrees and 50 minutes
60 minutes = 1 degree,
thus 50 minutes = x degree
50/60 degrees
= 0.83°
Hence: 11°50' = 11.83°.
Step 2
We solve using Trigonometric function of tan
tan theta = Opposite/Adjacent
theta = 11.83°
Adjacent = 1568 feet
Opposite = Height of the cliff = x
tan 11.83° = x/1568
Cross Multiply
x = tan 11.83 × 1568
x = 328.429195 feet
Approximately = 328 feet
The height of the cliff is 328 feet
