Answer:
x=29.4
Step-by-step explanation:
To help find the sides of a triangle, I use SOHCAHTOA.
SOH - CAH - TOA
S=O/H (
)
C=A/H (
)
T=O/A (
)
Let's find x first. We know 2 parts of the triangle: the adjacent leg, and the angle that is opposite of that.
So it would be tangent (tan).
opposite = 17
adjacent = 30°
Plug these numbers into the calculator and you should get your answer.
x=29.4
Try to do <em>y</em> on your own and let me know if you have any questions!
Also correct me if I'm wrong on anything.
Hope this information helps!
A is inbetween 2 and 4
B is inbetween 3 and 4
C is inbetween 4 and 5
D is inbetween 5 and 6
So the correct answer would be A B and C
Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.
Answer: 250
10 times itself or 10^2 = 100
(100)(5)=500
500/2= 250
The solution for that proplem is X=4,1
