Given the right triangle below what is x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

B 10.8 or

A 9.2 depending on what side of the triangle is "x".

Step-by-step explanation:

we cannot see the triangle and which side is which. you forgot to show us the picture (or describe it in more detail).

but I assume that "x" would be the Hypotenuse (the baseline of the right triangle, the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

then by using Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

=>

x² = 10² + 4² = 116

x = sqrt(116) = 10.8

but if x is any of the other sides (and not the Hypotenuse), then you need to adapt the calculation.

for example, if the Hypotenuse is the side with 10, then Pythagoras' formula would look like this

10² = x² + 4²

x² = 10² - 4² = 84

x = sqrt(84) = 9.2 (and answer A would be correct).

or if the Hypotenuse is the side with 4, then

4² = x² + 10²

x² = 4² - 10² = -84

x = sqrt(-84)

and that did not make any sense for real distances. so, this configuration is actually impossible for a right triangle.

What is the value of x ?
zimovet [89]
Each angle of the triangle added together must be equal to 180, so 53+45=98. 180-98=82. So the top angle is 82, the value of x has to be equal to 180-82 which equals 98

Part A A high school athlete ran the 100 meter sprint in 13.245 seconds. Round the time to the nearest tenth.Part B Explain how
amid [387]

Answer:

t = 13.2 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

An athlete ran the 100 meter sprint in 13.245 seconds. We need to round off the time to the nearest tenth.

Here, t = 13.245 s

In order to round off to the nearest tenth, thousandths place and hundredth place gets eliminated.

So, t = 13.2 s

So, time is 13.2 seconds.
