Question

Uhh help?? I’m highly confused I just want answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1) x = 5√3, y = 5

2) x = 16, y = 8

3) x = 10, y = 5

4) m = 9√15/10, n = 9√5/10

5) x = 3√3/2, y = 3/2

6) x = 6√5, y = 3√5

7) x = 5, y = 5

8) x = 5√2, y = 5

9) a = 2, b = √2

10) m = 10√6/3, n = 5√6/3

Explanation:

For special right triangles, there is a certain side ratio that applies due to the angle measurements which are opposite of the corresponding angles.

For 30° - 60° - 90° triangles (Scalene Right), we can use x as a marker for the side opposite of 30°, the side opposite of the 60° angle will be x√3, and the side opposite of the 90° angle will be 2x.

For 45° - 45° - 90° triangles (Isosceles Right),

Both 45° angles can be thought of as x, and the 90° angle can be thought of as x√2.

This is all computed as a result of the trigonometric functions:

SOH CAH TOA.

This is a shortcut for these specific triangles.

If you do not have the side marked as x, just do the inverse operation to get it.

90° is always opposite of the hypotenuse (longest side of a triangle; looks like a slant)
