Answer:

x = √(w(w+z))

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea with a right-triangle figure of this sort is that all of the triangles are similar. Here, x is the short side of ∆ABC, and the hypotenuse of ∆BDC. This suggests you want to write a similarity statement involving the short side and hypotenuse.

BC/AC = DC/BC . . . . . short side/hypotenuse

BC² = AC·DC . . . . . . cross multiply

x² = (w+z)w . . . . . . substitute letter values

Taking the square root and rearranging to the form of the applicable answer choice, this is ...

$\boxed{x=\sqrt{w(w+z)}}$

Special triangles 2 back

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10. From the given figure,

$\frac{18}{y}=sin60^{0}$

$y=\frac{36}{\sqrt{3}}$

11. From the given figure,

$\frac{12}{y}=sin60^{0}$

$y=\frac{12{\times}2}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{24}{\sqrt{3}}$

and $\frac{x}{y}=cos60^{0}$

$x=\frac{24}{\sqrt{3}{\times}2}=\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}}$

12. The sides of an equilateral triangle has length=10 inches, therefore AB=BC=AC=10

Also, AD is the height of the given triangle,then BD=DC=5

From triangle ADC,

$(AC)^{2}=(AD)^{2}+(DC)^{2}$

$100=(AD)^{2}+25$

$75=(AD)^{2}$

$AD=\sqrt{75}inches$

Hence, height of the triangle is $\sqrt{75}inches$

13. Height of the ramp from the ground is 8ft.

therefore, let BC=x

$\frac{8}{BC}=tan30^{0}$

$\frac{8}{x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$x=8\sqrt{3}$

14. Let BC=x and AB=y

then, $\frac{x}{18}=cos30^{0}$

$x=18{\times}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=9\sqrt{3}$

and $\frac{y}{x}=tan30^{0}$

$y=9$

The perimeter of triangle is=Sum of all the sides=AB+BC+AC= $9\sqrt{3}+9+18= 9\sqrt{3}+27=9(1.73)+27=42.57 inches$

15. Let AB be the height of the tree, then

$\frac{AB}{8}=tan30^{0}$

$AB=8{\times}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{8}{1.73}=4.62m$

16. According to question,

$\frac{h}{24}=sin30^{0}$

$h=\frac{24}{2}=12ft$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Where is f(x)? My answers pertains only to g(x) = -x^2 + 2x + 4.

Part of B is true: As x approaches infinity in either direction, g(x) approaches negative infinity. The graph of g(x) is an inverted parabola.

Can u guys PLEASE do this question 1 only

joja [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The shaded figure is a trapezium with area (A)

A = 0.5 h(a + b)

where h is the perpendicular height and a, b the parallel sides, thus

A = 0.5 × 10 × (8 + 14) = 5 × 22 = 110 cm²

(b)

The volume (V) of the prism is calculated as

V = area of end face × depth

= 110 × 3 = 330 cm³
