VMariaS [17]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If a triangle is equilateral, each vertex has an angle that is equal to 60 degrees

As we can see, we have two sets of similar right triangles

The value x faces the right angle and that makes it the hypotenuse

Also, the side measure 4 is the adjacent side to the angle 60

The trigonometric identity that relates the hypotenuse and the adjacent is the cosine

it is the ratio of the adjacent to the hypotenuse

Mathematically;

cos 60 = 4/x

x = 4/cos 60

x = 8

PLEASE HELP! Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality y-4x (greater than or equal to) -5? Select each correct answer
Wittaler [7]

(-2, 1), (-4, 2) and (1, -1) are solutions to given inequality y-4x (greater than or equal to) -5

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, inequality is y – 4x ≥ - 5

We have to find the correct answers from given options

<em><u>We have to check option by option. </u></em>

Now, (-2, 1) ⇒ 1 – 4(-2) ≥ - 5 ⇒ 1 + 8 ≥ -5 ⇒ 9 ≥ -5 ⇒ correct answer.

Now, (-4, 2) ⇒ 2 – 4(-4) ≥ -5 ⇒ 2 + 16 ≥ - 5 ⇒ 18 ≥ - 5 ⇒ correct answer

Now, (1, -1) ⇒ -1 – 4(1) ≥ - 5 ⇒ -1 – 4 ≥ - 5 ⇒ -5 ≥ -5 ⇒ correct answer

Now, (4, 0) ⇒ 0 – 4(4) ≥ - 5 ⇒ -16 ≥ -5 ⇒ wrong answer

Now, (5, -2) ⇒ -2 – 4(5) ≥ - 5 ⇒ -2 – 20 ≥ -5 ⇒ -22 ≥ -5 ⇒ wrong answer

Hence, (-2, 1), (-4, 2) and (1, -1) are solutions to given inequality.
