Answer:

73°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we use trigonometry to find the angle. The building and the ground form a perpendicular angle, with the ladder acting as the hypotenuse, we get a right angle. We know the length of adjacent leg from the angle, and the length of the hypotenuse. In this case, we use cosine since cos = adjacent length/hypotenuse length. So cos x= 7/24. To isolate x, we use the inverse function of cos, cos^-1. Then x= cos^-1 (7/24) or 73°.

Answer:

C) 75 + 50x = 25 + 70x

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC Tech:

$50 an hour. So,for x hours= 50 * x = 50x

Service charge = 75 + 50x

Tech Squad:

$70 an hour. So,for x hours= 70 * x = 70x

Service charge = 25 + 70x

C) 75 + 50x = 25 + 70x

50x - 70x = 25 - 75

-20x = -50

x = -50/-20

x =5/2 = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ hours

All triangles must have angles that add up to the same amount of degrees, so if the two triangles share one exact point, it is assumed that those angles would be the same. Basically just use the fact that the sides are the same and marked by dashes, and the missing line can be proven with the use of the angles that are in between the point that both share.

Answer:

<u>TO FIND :-</u>

Length of all missing sides.

<u>FORMULAES TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-</u>

$\sin \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}$
$\cos \theta = \frac{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}$
$\tan \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}$

<u>SOLUTION :-</u>

1) θ = 16°

Length of side opposite to θ = 7

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \sin 16 = \frac{7}{x}$

$=> \frac{7}{x} = 0.27563......$

$=> x = \frac{7}{0.27563....} = 25.39568.....$ ≈ 25.3

2) θ = 29°

Length of side opposite to θ = 6

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \sin 29 = \frac{6}{x}$

$=> \frac{6}{x} = 0.48480......$

$=> x = \frac{6}{0.48480....} = 12.37599.....$ ≈ 12.3

3) θ = 30°

Length of side opposite to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 11

$=> \sin 30 = \frac{x}{11}$

$=> \frac{x}{11} = 0.5$

$=> x = 0.5 \times 11 = 5.5$

4) θ = 43°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 12

$=> \cos 43 = \frac{x}{12}$

$=> \frac{x}{12} = 0.73135......$

$=> x = 12 \times 0.73135.... = 8.77624....$ ≈ 8.8

5) θ = 55°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 6

$=> \cos 55 = \frac{x}{6}$

$=> \frac{x}{6} = 0.57357......$

$=> x = 6 \times 0.57357.... = 3.44145....$ ≈ 3.4

6) θ = 73°

Length of side adjacent to θ = 8

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \cos 73 = \frac{8}{x}$

$=> \frac{8}{x} = 0.29237......$

$=> x = \frac{8}{0.29237.....} = 27.36242.....$ ≈ 27.3

7) θ = 69°

Length of side opposite to θ = 12

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

$=> \tan 69 = \frac{12}{x}$

$=> \frac{12}{x} = 2.60508......$

$=> x = \frac{12}{2.60508....} = 4.60636....$ ≈ 4.6

8) θ = 20°

Length of side opposite to θ = 11

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

$=> \tan 20 = \frac{11}{x}$

$=> \frac{11}{x} = 0.36397......$

$=> x = \frac{11}{0.36397....} =30.22225....$ ≈ 30.2

1. The larger of two supplementary angles is 15 more than twice the measure of the smaller angle. Find each angle measure.Help

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

55 degrees and 125 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary means that they add up to 180.

x + y = 180

Let's let x be the larger angle.

x = 15 + 2y

The above equation comes from the information given, that it's 15 more than twice the smaller angle.

Now let's use substitution.

x + y = 180

(15 + 2y) + y = 180

15 + 3y = 180

3y = 165

y = 55

The smaller angle is 55. Plug this back in to the first equation to get x.

x + y = 180

x + 55 = 180

x = 125

Now that you have both, test them again just to be sure that they fit the given conditions.
