Using a pencil, pair of compasses and ruler, construct a triangle with sides 8cm, 9cm and 6cm
1 answer:
Answer:
The nearest degree of the angle between the 8cm and 9cm sides is:
- <u>41°</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the correct angle in a small triangle like the triangle formed with the measures in the exercise is a little bit hard, in a change of this, I used a triangle calculator, with this I obtained the right angle formed by the sides with 8 cm and 9 cm, which I'm gonna add like an attachment.
From this image, you can guide yourself to draw the triangle without mistakes and to identify the right angle, which is 40,8° but the compass is not so defined, by this reason you can take it like 41° or 40°.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there!
The first thing we want to do is find the measure of the large leg
To do so we use the Pythagorean theorem which says
where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse
we want to find b given the hypotenuse and short leg
so
all we have to do is plug in a ( a = short leg so a would equal 12) and c ( c = hypotenuse so c would equal 37)
so
so the longer leg is equal to 35
35=5x
divide each side by 5
5x/5=x
35/5=7
we're left with x=7
