[Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
[Right Triangles Only] cos∅ = adjacent over hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify Variables

Angle Measure = 60°

Adjacent Leg = 9

Opposite Leg = x

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitute [tangent]: tan60° = x/9
Isolate x: 9tan60° = x
Rewrite: x = 9tan60°
Evaluate: x = 15.5885
Round: x ≈ 15.6

A triangle has an angle that measures 10°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 3:14. What

ivann1987 [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the measures of other two angles of triangle.

$\red{\frak{Given}} \begin{cases} & \sf{The\ measure\ of\ one\ angle\ of\ traingle\ is\ {\pmb{\sf{10^{\circ}}}}.} \\ & \sf{The\ other\ two\ angles\ are\ in\ the\ ratio\ of\ {\pmb{\sf{3\ :\ 14}}}.} \end{cases}$

We know that,

The other two angles of triangle are in the ratio of 3 : 14. So, let us consider the other two angles of the triangle be 3x and 14x.

Angle sum property,

The angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of interior angles of triangle is 180°. By using this property, we'll find the other two angles of the triangle.

$\rule{200}{3}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow {10^{\circ}\ +\ 3x\ +\ 14x\ =\ 180^{\circ}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {10^{\circ}\ +\ 17x\ =\ 180^{\circ}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {17x\ =\ 180^{\circ}\ -\ 10^{\circ}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {17x\ =\ 170^{\circ}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {x\ =\ \dfrac{\cancel{170^{\circ}}}{\cancel{17}}} \\ \\ \\ \dashrightarrow {\underbrace{\boxed{\pink{\frak{x\ =\ 10^{\circ}.}}}}_{\sf \blue {\tiny{Value\ of\ x}}}}$
