You would use the Pythagorem Theory which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
the diagonal being c and it doesn't matter how you substitute tho other either a or b. the answer is 15.588 or 15.6 inches
Step One
Find z
All triangles have 180 degrees. No exceptions.
z + 47 + 90 = 180 combine like terms on the left.
z + 137 = 180 subtract 137 from both sides
z = 180 - 137
z = 43 degrees.
Step Two
Use the sine function to find y
Sin(43) = opposite side / hypotenuse
opposite side = 35
sin(43) = 35 / hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 35 / sin(43)
y = 35/0.6820
y = 51.32
Solve using cos(x)
Note this problem could have been done in a shorter way.
Cos(47) = adjacent / hypotenuse.
hypotenuse = adjacent / cos(47)
y = 35 / cos(47)
y = 35 / 0.6820
y = 51.32 Both answers agree. It is a good thing to know how to do this question both ways.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
False you must multiply the coefficient (numbers) and add the exponents.
Your answer is option c. The final simplified form should have y to the 4th power instead of y cubed. I think so..
