Answer: 150mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the two adjecent sides of the triangle to be x and y and X is the angle opposite the side, x.

From the trigonometric identities for a right-angled triangle, it is known that

x=170sin X and;

y=170cos X

Thus the perimeter of the triangle is given by

170sin X + 170cos X + 170 = 400

170(sin X + cos X) = 400 - 170

170(sin X + cos X) = 230

sin X + cos X = 230/170 = 1.3529

Squaring both sides hence,

sin^2(X) + 2sin X.cos X + cos^2(X) = 1.8304

Recall that sin^2(X) + cos^2(X) = 1 and 2sin X.cos X = sin 2X.

Thus, the former expression gives;

1 + sin 2X = 1.8304

sin 2X = 0.8304

2X = arcsin (0.8304)

2X = 56.14° or (180 - 56.14)° = 56.14° or 123.86° for X existing within a triangle.

X = 56.14/2 or 123.86/2

X = 28.07° or 61.93°

Thus the two adjacent sides are ;

x = 170 sin (28.07) = 80mm

y = 170 cos (28.07) = 150mm

Using the value of 61.93° as X would give the same values but interchanged for x and y.

I hope you find this useful.

Solve the equation.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In this technique, if we have to factorise an expression like ax2+bx+c, we need to think of 2 numbers such that:

N1⋅N2=a⋅c=1⋅−12=−12

AND

N1+N2=b=−1

After trying out a few numbers we get N1=3 and N2=−4

3⋅−4=−12, and 3+(−4)=−1

x2−x−12=x2−4x+3x−12

x(x−4)+3(x−4)=0

(x+3)(x−4)=0

Now we equate the factors to zero.

x+3=0,x=−3

x−4=0,x=4

Chose parameters h and k such that the system has a) a unique solution, b) many solutions, and c) no solution. X1 + 3x2 = 4 2x1
AysviL [449]

Answer:

a) The system has a unique solution for k\neq 6 and any value of h, and we say the system is consisted

b) The system has infinite solutions for k=6 and h=8

c) The system has no solution for k=6 and h\neq 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we need to base the solutions of the system on one of the independent terms (h), the determinant method is not suitable and therefore we use the Gauss elimination method.

The first step is to write our system in the augmented matrix form:

\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&3&4\\2&k&h\end{array}\right]

The we can use the transformation r_0\rightarrow r_0 -2r_1, obtaining:

\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&3&4\\0&k-6&h-8\end{array}\right].

Now we can start the analysis:

  • If k\neq 6 then, the system has a unique solution for any value of k, meaning that the last row will transform back to the equation as:

(k-6)x_2=h-8\\x_2=h-8/(k-6)

from where we can see that only in the case of k=6 the value of x_2 can not be determined.

  • if k=6 and h=8 the system has infinite solutions: this is very simple to see by substituting these values in the equation resulting from the last row:

(k-6)x_2=h-8\\0=0 which means that the second equation is a linear combination of the first one. Therefore, we can solve the first equation to get x_1 as a function of x_2 o viceversa. Thus,  x_2 (x_1) is called a parameter since there are no constraints on what values they can take on.

if k=6 and h\neq 8 the system has no solution. Again by substituting in the equation resulting from the last row:

(k-6)x_2=h-8\\0=h-8 which is false for all values of h\neq 8 and since we have something that is not possible (0\neq h-8,\ \forall \ h\neq 8) the system has no solution
