The hypotenuse of a triangle measures 12 inches, and the measure of one of the acute angles is two less than three times the mea

sure of the other acute angle. What is the area of the triangle? Round your answer to the nearest square inch. (Note: The area of a triangle is 1/2bh, where the base and the height of the triangle are perpendicular).

Answer:

26 sq in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = measure of one acute angle

3x - 2 = measure of other acute angle

Since the triangle is a right triangle, the sum of the measures of the acute angles is 90

x + 3x - 2 = 90

4x - 2 = 90

4x = 92

x = 23

90 - 23 = 67

The acute angles are 23° and 67°

Now, let a = length of side opposite the 23° angle

sin 23 = a/12

a = 12 sin 23

Let b = length of the side opposite the 67° angle

sin 67 = b/12

b = 12 sin 67

Area = 1/2ab = 1/2(12 sin 23°)(12 sin 67°)

                     = 25.90

26 sq in to the nearest inch

Wow!  That is quite the problem.

Simplify (√2+1)² + (√2-1)²​
rusak2 [61]

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

*we solve every bracket alone

-(√2+1)² =  [rule:1st *1st + 2*1st*2nd + 2nd*2nd]

2+2√2+1

3+2√2

-(√2-1)=  [rule:1st*1st - 2*1st*2nd + 2nd+2nd]

2-2√2+1

3-2√2

-we write the whole equation

3+2√2+3-2√2 (+2√2 - 2√2) {positive and negative remove each other}

3+3=6

I need help with coming up with equation
Natali5045456 [20]

Let's call a child's ticket c and an adult's ticket a. From this, we can say:

c + a = 116,

since 116 tickets are sold in total.


Now, we are going to need to find another equation (the problem asks us to solve a systems of equations). This time, we are not going to base the equation on ticket quantity, but rather ticket price. We know that an adult's ticket is $17,000, and a child's ticket is thus

\$17000 \cdot (1 - \dfrac{1}{4}) = \$12750.


Given these values, we can say:

17000a + 12750c = 1653250,

since each adult ticket a costs 17,000 and each child's ticket c costs 12,750, and these costs sum to 1,653,250.


Now, we have two equations:

17000a + 12750c = 1653250

c + a = 116


Let's solve:

17000a + 12750c = 1653250

a = 116 - c

  • Find a on its own, which will allow us to substitute it into the first equation

17000(116 - c) + 12750a = 1653250

  • Substitute in 116 - c for a

1972000 - 17000c + 12750c = 1653250

  • Apply the Distributive Property

1972000 - 4250c = 1653250

  • Combine like terms

4250c = 318750

  • Subtract 1972000 from both sides of the equation and multiply both sides by -1

c = 75


We have now found that 75 child's tickets were sold. Thus,

75 + a = 116 \Rightarrow a = 116 - 75 = 41,

41 adult tickets were sold as well.


In sum, 41 adult tickets were sold along with 75 child tickets.
