Answer 1

Answer:

ΔMNO= 90°, m = 7.316 cm, n = 16.69 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The little square in the corner tells you that the angle is 90°

Calculating the length of m

We know that the Tangent of an angle is gotten by dividing the opposite side by the adjacent side, i.e,

Tan Ф = Opposite ÷ Adjacent

hence:

Tan 26° = m ÷ 15

0.4877 = m / 15

make m the subject and multiply both sides by 15

0.4877 × 15 = m / 15 × 15

7.3155 = m

∴ m = 7.316 cm

Calculating the length of n

For this we can use the Pythagoras theorem that states, a² + b² = c² where m = a, b = 15 cm and c = n. Hence:

7.316² + 15² = c ²

53.52 + 225 = c ²

278·52 = c ²

c = √278·52

c = 16.69

∴ n = 16.69 cm

We could also use the Cosine of ΔOMN to get length n i.e,

The Cosine of an angle is equal to the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse.

Cosine Ф = Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse

Cosine 26° = 15 cm ÷ n

0.8987 = 15 / n

Make 15 the subject and multiply both sides by n

0.8987 × n  = 15 / n × n

0.8987 n = 15

Divide both sides by 0.8987

0.8987 n ÷ 0.8987 = 15 ÷ 0.8987

∴ n = 16.69 cm

Hope this helps!
