I am sorry if i am wrong but i keep getting 6,4
Y=1/3x+1 is the equation for ur question
AB = 6 cm, AC = 12 cm, CD = ?
In triangle ABC, ∠CBA = 90°, therefore in triangle BCD ∠CBD = 90° also.
Since ∠BDC = 55°, ∠CBD = 90°, and there are 180 degrees in a triangle, we know ∠DCB = 180 - 55 - 90 = 35°
In order to find ∠BCA, use the law of sines:
sin(∠BCA)/BA = sin(∠CBA)/CA
sin(∠BCA)/6 cm = sin(90)/12 cm
sin(∠BCA) = 6*(1)/12 = 0.5
∠BCA = arcsin(0.5) = 30° or 150°
We know the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180°, so we choose the value 30° for ∠BCA
Now add ∠BCA (30°) to ∠DCB = 35° to find ∠DCA.
∠DCA = 30 + 35 = 65°
Since triangle DCA has 180°, we know ∠CAD = 180 - ∠DCA - ∠ADC = 180 - 65 - 55 = 60°
In triangle DCA we now have all three angles and one side, so we can use the law of sines to find the length of DC.
12cm/sin(∠ADC) = DC/sin(∠DCA)
12cm/sin(55°) = DC/sin(60°)
DC = 12cm*sin(60°)/sin(55°)
DC = 12.686 cm
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent to the angle makes an angle of 90° with the radius.
The interior angle of the equilateral triangle is 60, so that leaves 90-60 = 30° for the remaining angle with the tangent.
By the exterior angle theorem, 30°+x° = 60° (interior angle of the equilateral triangle), therefore
x = 60-30 = 30°.
Answer:
Actually, you have the correct answer. I think you are confused as to what the exact answer might be.
