Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of a 60 degree angle = Sin(60) / Cos(60)

Sin(60) = Square root (3) / 2

Cos(60) = 1/2

Tan(60) = √3 / 2 // 1/2   Invert the denominator and multiply

Tan(60) = √3/2 * 2/1

Tan(60) = √3

Tan(theta) = opposite / adjacent

Tan(theta) = x/3 in this case

Tan(60) = √3 = x/3

x = 3*√3

Answer:

3\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In all 30-60-90 triangles, the side lengths are in the ratio x:x\sqrt{3}:2x, where x is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle and 2x is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Since the side opposite to the 30 degree angle is marked as 3, the value of x must be \boxed{3\sqrt{3}}.

Alternatively, we can use basic trig. for a right triangle to solve. In any right triangle, the tangent of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by its adjacent side. Thus, we have:

\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{x}{3},\\x=3\tan 60^{\circ}=\boxed{3\sqrt{3}}

Triangle XYZ is translated by the rule (x + 1, y − 1) and then dilated by a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin. Which stat
Doss [256]

Answer:

D) Segment YZ and segment Y"Z" are proportional after the dilation and congruent after the translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

After a dilation, a figure remains proportional because its angles and betweenness of points remain the same. After a translation, the image stays congruent to the pre-image.

after 6 months, $1.78 simple interest was earned on an investment of $890. what was the annual interest rate
umka21 [38]
First you have to double the simple interest to get the amount earned in 1 year. That gives $3.56 earned and a total balance of $893.56
r = (1/t)(A/P - 1)  t=time, A=amount of money with interest, P=amount invested
r = (1/1)((893.56/890) - 1) = 0.004
r = 0.004
 now convert to a decimal to get .04 = 4%
