Answer:
a = 21
b = 63
c = 42√3
d = 21√3
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. The given side (42) is the longest side of the smallest triangle, and the shortest side of the largest triangle.
That means the other sides of the smallest triangle will be ...
a = 42/2 = 21
a+b = 2(42) = 84
b = (a+b) -a = 84 -21 = 63
d = 21√3 . . . . middle-length side of the smallest triangle
c = 42√3 . . . . middle-length side of the largest triangle
The values of the variables are ...
- a = 21
- b = 63
- c = 42√3
- d = 21√3
Complete Question:
Triangle abc has the angle mesausres shown.
m<A = (2x)°
m<B = (5x)°
m<C = (11x)°
Which statement is true about the angles?
A. m<A = 20°
B. m<B = 60°
C. m<A and m<B are complementary
D. m<A + m<C = 120°
Answer:
A. m<A = 20°
Step-by-step explanation:
m<A + m<B + m<C = 180° (sum of interior angles of a triangle)
(substitution)
Solve for x. Add like terms.
Divide both sides by 18
Find the measure of each angle by substituting x = 10:
m<A = (2x)° = 2(10) = 20°
m<B = (5x)° = 5(10) = 50°
m<C = (11x)° = 11(10) = 110°
Therefore, the only true statement is:
A. m<A = 20°
