Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest degree

Answer:

A) 18°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of the indicated angle, we can use trigonometric ratios.

Looking at the triangle, we can see that we are given the lengths of the two legs of the triangle, but not the hypotenuse. Since we are not given the hypotenuse, the sine and cosine ratios would not work since both of them require the length of the hypotenuse. We can use the tangent ratio, since it only requires the lengths of the two legs. Remember:

tan(?)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

From looking at the image, we can see that the length of the side opposite to the angle is 3, and the length of the side adjacent to the angle is 9. Thus, we can use 3 as out opposite and 9 as out adjacent:

tan(?)=\frac{3}{9}

Now we solve for ?. Lets take the inverse tan of both sides to get rid of the tan on the left side:

?=tan^{-1}(\frac{3}{9})

And we get:

? ≈ 18.4349488° ≈ 18°

So the answer would be 18°, or A.

I hope you find my answer to be helpful. Happy studying.

Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation –2 = –x + x2 – 4 into the quadratic formula?
ASHA 777 [7]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

x=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-2)}}{2(1)}

Explanation:

The Quadratic Formula is

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a},

where a, b and c are the coefficients of a quadratic equation written in standard form, or 0=ax²+bx+c.

This means that first, we need to make our equation equal 0.

We have

-2 = -x + x² - 4

To make this equal 0, we must cancel the -2.  We do this by adding 2:

-2+2 = -x + x² - 4 + 2

0 = -x + x² - 2

Now we write this in standard form.  This means the x² term must come first, then the x term, then the constant:

0 = x²-x-2

This makes a = 1, b = -1 and c = -2.  We then plug this into the quadratic formula.
