<h3>
Answer: A. 18*sqrt(3)</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
We'll need the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(R) = TH/HR
tan(30) = TH/54
sqrt(3)/3 = TH/54 ... use the unit circle
54*sqrt(3)/3 = TH .... multiply both sides by 54
(54/3)*sqrt(3) = TH
18*sqrt(3) = TH
TH = 18*sqrt(3) which points to <u>choice A</u> as the final answer
----------------------
An alternative method:
Triangle THR is a 30-60-90 triangle.
Let x be the measure of side TH. This side is opposite the smallest angle R = 30, so we consider this the short leg.
The hypotenuse is twice as long as x, so TR = 2x. This only applies to 30-60-90 triangles.
Now use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(TH)^2 + (HR)^2 = (TR)^2
(x)^2 + (54)^2 = (2x)^2
x^2 + 2916 = 4x^2
2916 = 4x^2 - x^2
3x^2 = 2916
x^2 = 2916/3
x^2 = 972
x = sqrt(972)
x = sqrt(324*3)
x = sqrt(324)*sqrt(3)
x = 18*sqrt(3) which is the length of TH.
A slightly similar idea is to use the fact that if y is the long leg and x is the short leg, then y = x*sqrt(3). Plug in y = 54 and isolate x and you should get x = 18*sqrt(3). Again, this trick only works for 30-60-90 triangles.
The answer is 112 degrees
good luck
Answer:
C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that one of the lines is simply y=-1 for any x, so we can dismiss the only answer without y=-1. That rejected answer is A)
Now let's notice, that the other line is decreasing y when increasing x. That tells us that in the equation y = ax + b, a has to be negative. This brings us to reject option D).
What is the y of that line for x = 0? Because y = ax + b, for x = 0 we will get the value of b. This is called the intercept. The line is at y=4 for x=0, so we know that the b in the equation must be positive 4. This fits answer C, but rejects answer B). And so, we have found that C) is the only possible answer.
Answer:
9 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
28 inches rope cut into 3-inch pieces
There is no matching answer choice, if given numbers are correct then the answer is 9 full pieces
---------
<u>Note:</u>
- The close answer choice is 8
- 28/8 = 3 1/2 or 3.5
- So if cut into 3.5 inch pieces then it is 8 full pieces
- just in case it was typo 3 instead of 3.5
