You will have to use trig to solve this:
The side you have is adjacent to the known angle
The side you are looking for is opposite the known angle
^^^This means you need to use tan:
tan(24) = 
.445222 =
^^^input tan(24) into calculator, then multiply 12 to both sides to isolate and solve for x
5.3 ≈ x
Hope this helped!
Answer:
I don't really know but one triangle is 180 degrees so two added together is 360 degrees...
but ohh I remembered
a=c+d (since a+b=180 and c+d+b=180)
e=g+h (since e+f=180 and g+h+f= 180)
and the fact is that c+d+g+h+b+f=the angle sum of quadrilateral PQRS
a+e+b+f= the angle sum of quadrilateral PQRS (by substitutions)
a+e+b+f=360 (four angles are from one origin so it's 360 degrees )
Answer: at 50 mph, she drove for 4 hours.
at 45 mph, she drove for 2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the time that she spent driving at 50 miles per hour.
Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. This means that the time that she spent driving at 45 miles per hour is (6 - t) hours.
Distance = speed × time
Distance covered while driving 50 miles per hour is
50t
Distance covered while driving 45 miles per hour is
45(6 - t)
Since the total distance that she drove is 290 miles, it means that
50t + 45(6 - t) = 290
50t + 270 - 45t = 290
50t - 45t = 290 - 270
5t = 20
t = 20/5 = 4
At 45 miles per hour, she drove at
6 - 4 = 2 hours
