Answer:

Part A)  The length of the hypotenuse of triangle ABC is

 AB=\frac{40\sqrt{3}}{3}\ units  

Part B) The length of the shorter leg of triangle ABC is

AC=\frac{20\sqrt{3}}{3}\ units

Part C) The length of the longer leg of triangle ABC is

BC=20\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure  to better understand the problem

Step 1

Find the length of the longer leg of triangle ABC  (side BC)

we know that  

In the right triangle DBC  

sin(30\°)=\frac{DC}{BC}

substitute the values and solve for BC

sin(30\°)=\frac{10}{BC}

BC=10/sin(30\°)=20\ units

Step 2

Find the length of the shorter leg of triangle ABC  (side AC)

we know that  

In the right triangle ACD

sin(60\°)=\frac{DC}{AC}

substitute the values and solve for AC

sin(60\°)=\frac{10}{AC}

AC=10/sin(60\°)=\frac{20\sqrt{3}}{3}\ units

Step 3

Find the length of the hypotenuse of triangle ABC (side AB)

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

AB^{2}=BC^{2}+AC^{2}

we have

AC=\frac{20\sqrt{3}}{3}\ units

BC=20\ units

substitutes

AB^{2}=20^{2}+(\frac{20\sqrt{3}}{3})^{2}

AB^{2}=400+(\frac{400}{3})

AB^{2}=(\frac{1600}{3})

AB=\frac{40\sqrt{3}}{3}\ units

I do not know what you mean by the wording of some of these questions, so I will just give you the formula and tell you how to apply it. The formula of the Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. a and b are the two sides adjecent to the right angle (in the corner). c is the side opposite the right angle. So, to get c you would have to add sides a and b but with each of them to the second power. Then, you would find the square root of the sum (you can do this with a calculator). To find sides a or b, subtract a or b (whichever one available) to the second power from c to the second power. Then find the square root of the sum. That is all I know how to do, so combine this knowledge with yours to see if you can solve it. If you have any questions about what I already know, feel free to ask. You can also ask for an example. If you have a question about something that I have not explained, look it up on the internet, or hopefully you can find someone who can help you. I hope this helps.

0.9 of Karen's Science score is equal to 0.75 of her Math score and 0.8 of her Chemistry score. Given that Karen scored 96 marks
DochEvi [55]

You have to formulate equations for this problem.

Let S = Science score

      M = Math score

       C = Chemistry score

To illustrate the given:

0.9S = 0.75M

0.9S = 0.8C

You are given that Karen’s Math score is 96 marks. You have to substitute the Math score to the first equation.

0.9S = 0.75(96)

0.9S = 72

S = 80

Therefore, Karen’s Science score is 80. Now, you have to substitute the Science score to the second equation.

0.9(80) = 0.8C

0.8C = 72

C = 90

So, Karen’s Chemistry score is 90.

Therefore, the total score of the 3 subjects is 266 (96 + 80 + 90).
