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.

Rule for raising a power to a new power
KiRa [710]
The practical rule would be, times that number, by the result of the first time you multiplied the first number. But, it would all depend by how much your're raising the number by.

<u>For example:</u> \boxed{4^6}

We do, (4*4*4*4*4*4)= \boxed{\bf{4^6}}= 4096

But, once again, this was an example. This would show and illustrate the rule of "raising a power".<span />

Vaughn and Xi are not partners in Wind Systems because they do not have joint control over the business.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$6390 se destinaron a los fondos de reserva, $7668 se destinaron a los fondos de provisión y $8520 se destinaron a los fondos de operaciones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que una cooperativa de agricultores obtuvo en el año 2020 una utilidad de $42,600, de cuya suma destino el 15% para fondos de reserva, 18% para fondos de provisión y el 20% para fondos de operaciones, para calcular cada una de la suma​s se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo:

100 = 42,600

15 = X

42600 x 15 / 100 = 6390

100 = 42,600

18 = X

42600 x 18 / 100 = 7668

100 = 42,600

20 = X

42600 x 20 / 100 = 8520

Por lo tanto, $6390 se destinaron a los fondos de reserva, $7668 se destinaron a los fondos de provisión y $8520 se destinaron a los fondos de operaciones.
