Find the area of triangle XYZ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

\displaystyle A  _{XYZ -  \text{triangle}} =    24 {cm}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have two right angle triangles

we want to figure out the area of XYZ triangle

we are given the base not the altitude (height) so we need to figure the height of XYZ to figure out the area of XYZ

in that case we can use Pythagoras theorem given by

\displaystyle  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

given that, c=5 and b=3 thus

substitute:

\displaystyle  {3}^{2}  +  {a}^{2}  =  {5}^{2}

simplify squares:

\displaystyle 9  +  {a}^{2}  =  25

cancel 9 from both sides:

\displaystyle  {a}^{2}  =  16

square root both sides:

\displaystyle  {a}^{}  =  4

we have figured out the height of XYZ triangle

remember that,

\displaystyle A  _{ \text{triangle}} =  \frac{1}{2} bh

we have h=4 and b=9+3=12

substitute:

\displaystyle A  _{ \text{triangle}} =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 12\times 4

reduce fraction:

\displaystyle A  _{ \text{triangle}} =    12\times 2

simplify multiplication:

\displaystyle A  _{ \text{triangle}} =    24

hence,

the area of triangle XYZ is 24 cm²

What is the solution of log z + 12 = 9?<br> 1,000<br> -0.001<br> 0.001<br> -1.000<br> Done
zvonat [6]

Answer:

z =0.001

Step-by-step explanation:

log z + 12 = 9

Subtract 12 from each side

log z + 12-12 = 9-12

log z = -3

Raise each side to the base of 10

10^ log z = 10 ^-3

z = 10 ^-3

z =0.001

Please help me with number 3 <br><br> Thanks
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

x = 2.8

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = 45°

Opposite = 2

Hypotenuse = x

Adjacent = y

✔️To find x, apply the trigonometric function SOH:

Sin 45 = Opp/Hyp

Sin 45 = 2/x

x*Sin 45 = 2

x = 2/Sin 45

x = 2.82842712 ≈ 2.8 (nearest tenth)

✔️To find y, apply the trigonometric function TOA:

Tan 45 = Opp/Adj

Tan 45 = 2/y

y*Tan 45 = 2

y = 2/Tan 45

y = 2

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

4/27 chance of getting a white marble.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 white marbles but there are 27 marbles in total. If you wanted a percentage, then divide 4 by 27 and place the decimal two places to the right once you founded your answer.

(sorry if it's a bad explanation)
