All you need to do is divide .88 by 6.8.
.88/6.8= 0.129 (round upt to .13 cents)
I hope this helps!
Step One
Find z
All triangles have 180 degrees. No exceptions.
z + 47 + 90 = 180 combine like terms on the left.
z + 137 = 180 subtract 137 from both sides
z = 180 - 137
z = 43 degrees.
Step Two
Use the sine function to find y
Sin(43) = opposite side / hypotenuse
opposite side = 35
sin(43) = 35 / hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 35 / sin(43)
y = 35/0.6820
y = 51.32
Solve using cos(x)
Note this problem could have been done in a shorter way.
Cos(47) = adjacent / hypotenuse.
hypotenuse = adjacent / cos(47)
y = 35 / cos(47)
y = 35 / 0.6820
y = 51.32 Both answers agree. It is a good thing to know how to do this question both ways.
B they only have one pair of parallel sides. The top and bottom
The vertex is (3,0).
The 3 inside the abs val bar tells you the x value of the vertex is 3. No number outside the abs value bar is a +0 which is the y value of the vertex.
