Step-by-step explanation:

it's easy to prove in any right triangle with a 30° angle, the side opposite to that angle is half the hypotenuse. CA (1/2)BC, CA/BC=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take an equilateral triangle of side.

Bisec it through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side.

You now have two right-angled triangles with angels 30° , 60°, 90° with the edge opposite the 30° of length 1/2 and hypotenuse 1. So

sin (30°) = 1/2/1= 1/2.

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u> </u>The right angled triangle you describe has angels of 45 degrees, not 30 degrees.

What you proved is sin 45 = 1\2 , which is correct.

blagie [28]

Veremos que el area del banderín es 930cm^2, entonces la opción correcta es A.

<h3>¿Que area tiene el banderin?</h3>

Luego de una pequeña busqueda online, pude ver que el banderin es un triangulo isósceles con base de 31cm y altura de 60 cm.

Recordar que para un triangulo de base b y altura h, el area es:

A = b*h/2

Entonces el area del banderín va a ser:

A = (31cm)*(60cm)/2 = 930cm^2

Entonces la opción correcta es A.

Divide a 5-inch line into two parts so that one part (a) 2 1/4 inches shorter than the other; (b) 3 times the other.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Part a), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x - y = 2.25
2x = 7.25
x = 3.625
y = 1.375

part b), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x = 3y
y = 1.25
x = 3.75

Irina-Kira [14]

the area in square feet is 4400. (because to find the area of the rectangle you multiply the 2 side lengths, 100 and 80 which gives you 8000, then you find the area of the square, multiply 60 by 60 which is 3600, then you subtract the total area of the backyard by the area taken up by the garden, 8000-3600, which gives you your total of 4400.)

Orlando is doing a math problem where he needs to dilate a triangle by a scale factor of four. The ordered pairs for his pre-ima
Rainbow [258]
Dilation refers to a non rigid motion where a figure is transform and its image has the same form but a different size measure.
Dilation is define by the rule (x,y)-- (kx, ky) where k represents the scale factor.

On this exercise is given that a triangle with vertices (-2,1), (8,4), and (3,0) was dilated by a scale factor of four, and it is asked to find the vertices of the image of the triangle after the dilation occurred.

Pre-image                       Image
(-2,1)  --   (-2*4,1*4)   --   (-8,4)
(8,4)   --    (8*4,4*4)   --    (32,16)
(3,0)   --    (3*4,0*4)   --    (12,0)

The coordinates representing the vertices of the triangle's image are (-8,4), (32,16), and (12,0); meaning that the ordered pair which is not a coordinate for a point in the triangle's image is (2,1).
