What is the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to determine an unknown side of a right triangle when two sides are known.

It states that a^2+b^2=c^2.

This is where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is the hypotenuse.

If you're unclear on this, you can draw a diagram to help you visualize it.

Hence, we can plug the given information into this formula.

a^2+8^2=(√73)^2

Simplify.

a^2+64=73

Subtract 64 from both sides.

a^2+64-64=73-64

a^2=9

Find the square root of both sides.

a=3

The length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 3 units.

The measure of the supplement of an angle is seven times as large as the measure of its complement find the measure of the angle
8090 [49]

Answer: original angle = 75°

Its supplement 105°

Its complement = 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

  • Sum of supplementary angles is 180 degrees.
  • Sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees.

Let x be the original angle , then its supplement = 180° - x

its complement = 90° - x

As per given,

180° - x = 7(90° - x)

⇒ 180° - x = 630° - 7x

⇒  7x- x = 630° -180°

⇒  6 x = 450°

⇒  x = 75°  [divide both sides by 6]

So, original angle = 75°

Its supplement =  180° - 75° = 105°

Its complement = 90° -75° = 15°

Hence,  original angle = 75°

Its supplement 105°

Its complement = 15°
