A^2-5a = 6
a^2-5a-6 = 0
Discriminant = (-5)^2-4(1)(-6) = 49
Discriminant is positive so there are two solutions

In the triangle below, what is the measure of A?<br> ОА. 180°<br> Ос. 30°<br> ор. 90°

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Total angle measurement for a triangle is 180°

Equilateral triangle measures 60 on all angles. (60 + 60 + 60 = 180°)

This triangle is equilateral so it's angle is 60°.

Why is it equilateral? Because all sides of the triangle are equal (10 on all sides).

Hope this helps

Find the length x to the nearest whole number. A right triangle has a vertical leg of length x units, a base leg with a length o

wel

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value of x is $x = 274 \ unites$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the vertical length is $x$

The length of the base leg is L = 330 + d units

The length of the bisecting line segment is h

The base angle is $\theta = 28^o$

The angle between d and line segment is $\theta_1 = 56^o$

For the first angle

$Tan \theta_1 = \frac{x}{d}$

=> $d = \frac{x}{Tan \theta _1}$

For the whole big triangle

$Tan \theta = \frac{x}{330 + d}$

=> $d = \frac{x}{Tan \theta } -330$

So equating the both d

$\frac{x}{Tan \theta _1} = \frac{x}{Tan \theta } -330$

Substitute values

$\frac{x}{Tan (56)} = \frac{x}{Tan (28) } -330$

$0.6745 x = 1.880x -330$

$1.20549 x = 330$

$x = 274 \ unites$
