Answer:
There are two ways to do this problem algebraically or trigonometrically.
Algebraically/geometrically
The ratios of the sides of a 30/60/90 tri. are x, x√3, 2x (short leg, long leg, hyp). Therefore, if the long leg is 6 'units'. then 6 = x√3. x = 6√3.
The hyp is 2x then the hypotenuse is 2(6√3) = 12√3, rationalizing is 12√3/3 = 4√3
Using Trig.
We can use sinx = y/r = opp/hyp. The long leg of 6 is opposite 60 degrees (pi/3).
Therefore, sin(pi/3) = 6/r =
r = 6/sin(pi/3) = 6/(√3/2) = 12/√3, when you rationalize you get 12√3/3 = 4√3
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 78/20=45
Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation shown can be solved this way.
x^2 +(x -4)^2 = 20^2
x^2 +x^2 -8x +16 = 400
2x^2 -8x -384 = 0
x^2 -4x -192 = 0
(x -16)(x +12) = 0
The positive solution is ...
x = 16

Since this makes use of the Pythagorean theorem, you've probably run across the 3-4-5 triangle. You often find scaled versions of it in algebra and geometry problems. Here, it is scaled by a factor of 4 to give a 12-16-20 triangle as half of the display screen.
The 3-4-5 triple is the only Pythagorean triple that is an arithmetic sequence. So, if the difference in side lengths is 4 and the diagonal is 5×4, you can be pretty certain that x = 4×4 and x-4 = 4×3.
Answer:
-2 and 24
Step-by-step explanation:
the trend line is linear,
let the unknowns be A and B
hence the equation becomes
K = AJ + B
from the graph we can see the following:
when J = 0, K = 24 (substitute this into the equation)
K = AJ + B
24 = A(0) + B
24 = B (Answer)
Also notice that when K = 0, J = 12
together with our previous finding that B = 24, the equation becomes:
K = AJ + B
0 = A(12) + 24
12A = -24
A = -24 / 12
A = -2 (answer)

Answer:
45.6°
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached result was found by typing "arccos(7/10) in degrees" into a web browser search box.
Your calculator can give you the same result. The inverse cosine function often shares a key with the cosine function. It is often marked as cos⁻¹. Be sure that the angle mode is set to degrees, not radians.
