Answer:

B) Plus-or-minus StartRoot eleven-eighths EndFraction

${ \tan }^{2} \theta = \frac{3}{8} \\ but : { \tan }^{2} \theta = { \sec }^{2} \theta - 1 \\ \therefore { \sec}^{2} \theta - 1 = \frac{3}{8} \\ { \sec }^{2} \theta = \frac{11}{8} \\ \sec( \theta) = \sqrt{ \frac{11}{8} }$

Using Triangle Congruence Theorems

kodGreya [7K]

There are a total of five theorems congruent triangles. They are summarized as:

SAS
SSS
AAS
RHS and
ASA.

<h3>What are the definitions of the Theorems of Congruent Triangles?</h3>

SAS - Side Angle Side

According to the SAS rule, two triangles are said to be congruent if any two sides and any angle between the sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two sides and angle between the sides of the second triangle.

SSS - Side Side Side Rule

According to the SSS rule, two triangles are said to be congruent if all three sides of one triangle are proportional to the size three sides of the second triangle.

AAS - Angle Angle Side Rule
Angle-Angle-Side is abbreviated as AAS. The triangles are said to be congruent when two angles and a non-included side of one triangle match the comparable angles and sides of another triangle.

ASA - Angle Side Angle rule

According to the ASA rule, two triangles are said to be congruent if any two angles and the side contained between the angles of one triangle are proportional to the size two angles and side included in between angles of the second triangle.

RHS - Right Angle- Hypotenuse side Rule

According to the RHS rule, two right triangles are said to be equivalent if their hypotenuses and one of their sides are identical to those of another right-angled triangle.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

1. 1/8 ÷ 3/4 = 1/6

2. 3/5 ÷ 3/2 = 2/5

3. 4/1 ÷ 2/3 = 6

4.9/4 ÷ 6/5 = 15/8

5.22/4 ÷ 2/5 = 261/80

shira was riding the screamer when it broke down. her seat was 53 jorizontal feet from the central support pole. What was her se

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The possible solutions are 58 degree, 122 degrees, 302 degrees and 238 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the attachment

From the figure, it is evident that

cos AOB = OB/OA = 53/100 = 0.53

Thus, cos-1 (0.53) = 58 degrees

AOB = 58 degree

Also, there are can be other values depending on the quadrants

COB = 180 -58 = 122 degrees

FOB = 360 -58 = 302 degrees

EOB = 180 + 58 = 238 degrees

Arielle is building the wooden framework for the roof of a house. she needs the angle created by the vertical and horizontal boa

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Option A is correct

it is an acute triangle. about 0.8 foot needs to be removed from the 20-foot board to create a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

She want to build a right angle frame

Then to proof it is right angle, we will apply Pythagoras theorem to the sides of the rectangle,

Since the vertical height of board is 12ft

And, the horizontal length of board is 15ft.

Then the beam that support the two beams which also form the hypotenuse is give as

(beam support)²=(horizontal board)²+(vertical board)²

x²=12²+15²

x²=144+225

x²=369

x=√369

x=19.2ft

Then the beam support is 19.2ft

To get the angle of the beam support to the horizontal

Applying trigonometric

Tanθ=opposite / adjacent

Tanθ= vertical / horizontal

Tanθ=12/15

Tanθ=0.8

θ=arctan(0.8)

θ=36.7°

This shows that it is an acute triangle.

We are told that the support beam is 20ft but this is not true because the support beam is calculated to be 19.2ft,

So, 0.8ft must be removed from the 20ft support beam to create the right angle.

Then, the best option is a

we need to cut the support beam by approx 0.8 feet to make right angle between vertical board and horizontal board.
