Part (a)

Focus on triangle PSQ. We have

angle P = 52

side PQ = 6.8

side SQ = 5.4

Use of the law of sines to determine angle S

sin(S)/PQ = sin(P)/SQ

sin(S)/(6.8) = sin(52)/(5.4)

sin(S) = 6.8*sin(52)/(5.4)

sin(S) = 0.99230983787513

S = arcsin(0.99230983787513)

S = 82.889762826274

Which is approximate

------------

Use this to find angle Q. Again we're only focusing on triangle PSQ.

P+S+Q = 180

Q = 180-P-S

Q = 180-52-82.889762826274

Q = 45.110237173726

Which is also approximate.

A more specific name for this angle is angle PQS, which will be useful later in part (b).

------------

Now find the area of triangle PSQ

area of triangle = 0.5*(side1)*(side2)*sin(included angle)

area of triangle PSQ = 0.5*(PQ)*(SQ)*sin(angle Q)

area of triangle PSQ = 0.5*(6.8)*(5.4)*sin(45.110237173726)

area of triangle PSQ = 13.0074347717966

------------

Next we'll use the fact that RS:SP is 2:1.

This means RS is twice as long as SP. Consequently, this means the area of triangle RSQ is twice that of the area of triangle PSQ. It might help to rotate the diagram so that line PSR is horizontal and Q is above this horizontal line.

We found

area of triangle PSQ = 13.0074347717966

So,

area of triangle RSQ = 2*(area of triangle PSQ)

area of triangle RSQ = 2*13.0074347717966

area of triangle RSQ = 26.0148695435932

------------

We're onto the last step. Add up the smaller triangular areas we found

area of triangle PQR = (area of triangle PSQ)+(area of triangle RSQ)

area of triangle PQR = (13.0074347717966)+(26.0148695435932)

area of triangle PQR = 39.0223043153899

------------

<h3>Answer: 39.0223043153899</h3>

This value is approximate. Round however you need to.

===========================================

Part (b)

Focus on triangle PSQ. Let's find the length of PS.

We'll use the value of angle Q to determine this length.

We'll use the law of sines

sin(Q)/(PS) = sin(P)/(SQ)

sin(45.110237173726)/(PS) = sin(52)/(5.4)

5.4*sin(45.110237173726) = PS*sin(52)

PS = 5.4*sin(45.110237173726)/sin(52)

PS = 4.8549034284642

Because RS is twice as long as PS, we know that

RS = 2*PS = 2*4.8549034284642 = 9.7098068569284

So,

PR = RS+PS

PR = 9.7098068569284 + 4.8549034284642

PR = 14.5647102853927

-------------

Next we use the law of cosines to find RQ

Focus on triangle PQR

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab*cos(C)

(RQ)^2 = (PR)^2 + (PQ)^2 - 2(PR)*(PQ)*cos(P)

(RQ)^2 = (14.5647102853927)^2 + (6.8)^2 - 2(14.5647102853927)*(6.8)*cos(52)

(RQ)^2 = 136.420523798282

RQ = sqrt(136.420523798282)

RQ = 11.6799196828694

--------------

We'll use the law of sines to find angle R of triangle PQR

sin(R)/PQ = sin(P)/RQ

sin(R)/6.8 = sin(52)/11.6799196828694

sin(R) = 6.8*sin(52)/11.6799196828694

sin(R) = 0.4587765387107

R = arcsin(0.4587765387107)

R = 27.3081879220073

--------------

This leads to

P+Q+R = 180

Q = 180-P-R

Q = 180-52-27.3081879220073

Q = 100.691812077992

This is the measure of angle PQR

subtract off angle PQS found back in part (a)

angle SQR = (anglePQR) - (anglePQS)

angle SQR = (100.691812077992) - (45.110237173726)

angle SQR = 55.581574904266

--------------

<h3>Answer: 55.581574904266</h3>

This value is approximate. Round however you need to.

andreev551 [17]

two equations which can model this situation is : $y=2x$ and $x+y=1250$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Bronson is an action and horror movie junkie. He started a movie review vlog and needs to keep up with his movie viewing at a high pace. It has been a total of 50 weeks since he has stated his vlog and he has watched 1250 movies. He has watched twice as many horror movies a action movies. We need to Write two equations that can model this situation. Let's find out:

Let Bronson watched x action movies and y horror movies , than according to question horror movies he watched is twice that of action movies i.e.

⇒ $y=2x$ ........(1)

Now , he has watched 1250 movies i.e.

⇒ $x+y=1250$ .......(2)

⇒ $x+2x=1250$

⇒ $3x=1250$

Therefore , two equations which can model this situation is : $y=2x$ and $x+y=1250$ .

What are all the variables of x y and z ?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

x°=96°

y°=88°

z°=151°

Step-by-step explanation:

55°+29°+×°=180°

×°=96°

96°+55°=z°

z°=151

then let variable A° be one of the inner angle of the triangle

A°+z°=180°

A°+151°=180°

A°=29°

finally adding all the inner angles will give us 180°

96°+y°-13°+29=180°

y°=88°

What would be a line perpendicular to (2,3) (5,5)?

ladessa [460]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

3x + 2y = 0 or y = -3/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between a line and its perpendicular is that their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other. So, the thing you need to know about the line through the two given points is its slope. That is found using the slope formula:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . . where the two give points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

Putting your point coordinates in this formula gives ...

m = (5 -3)/(5 -2) = 2/3

Then the perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal:

slope of perpendicular = -1/m = -1/(2/3) = -3/2

You have not said whether the perpendicular line must meet any other requirement, so the simplest one we can write is ...

y = mx + b . . . . . m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

y = -3/2x . . . . . . has a y-intercept of 0 (goes through the origin)

Multiplying by 2 and adding 3x gives ...

3x + 2y = 0 . . . . . standard form equation

_____

<em>Comment on the attachment</em>

The geometry program I used to create the attachment wrote the equation of the line through the given points as ...

2x -3y = -5 . . . . . standard form equation

The equation of a perpendicular line can be created from this form by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Simply swapping the coefficients would give ...

-3x +2y = <something>

In standard form, we want the leading coefficient to be positive, so we can choose to negate the x-coefficient. The <something> can be zero to make the line go through the origin.

3x +2y = 0 . . . . . a perpendicular in standard form

If you need to have the line go through a particular point, you can determine the constant value (on the right of the = sign) by putting the point coordinates in for x and y.

_____

Method summary:

find the slope of the given line
determine its opposite reciprocal to find the slope of the perpendicular line
use that new slope in an appropriate form to have the line go where you want it to go. (Point-Slope Form is often useful)
