<h3>
Answer: A. 18*sqrt(3)</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
We'll need the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(R) = TH/HR
tan(30) = TH/54
sqrt(3)/3 = TH/54 ... use the unit circle
54*sqrt(3)/3 = TH .... multiply both sides by 54
(54/3)*sqrt(3) = TH
18*sqrt(3) = TH
TH = 18*sqrt(3) which points to <u>choice A</u> as the final answer
----------------------
An alternative method:
Triangle THR is a 30-60-90 triangle.
Let x be the measure of side TH. This side is opposite the smallest angle R = 30, so we consider this the short leg.
The hypotenuse is twice as long as x, so TR = 2x. This only applies to 30-60-90 triangles.
Now use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(TH)^2 + (HR)^2 = (TR)^2
(x)^2 + (54)^2 = (2x)^2
x^2 + 2916 = 4x^2
2916 = 4x^2 - x^2
3x^2 = 2916
x^2 = 2916/3
x^2 = 972
x = sqrt(972)
x = sqrt(324*3)
x = sqrt(324)*sqrt(3)
x = 18*sqrt(3) which is the length of TH.
A slightly similar idea is to use the fact that if y is the long leg and x is the short leg, then y = x*sqrt(3). Plug in y = 54 and isolate x and you should get x = 18*sqrt(3). Again, this trick only works for 30-60-90 triangles.
Answer:
72.5
Step-by-step explanation:
one block = 43.5 / 3 = 14.5
five blocks = 5 * 14.5 = 72.5 (ans)
Answer:
Approximately 3.5 feet - Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine that you have this walkway around the garden, with dimensions 30 by 20 feet. This walkway has a difference of x feet between it's length, and say the dimension 30 feet. In fact it has a difference of x along both dimensions - on either ends. Therefore, the increases length and width should be 30 + 2x, and 20 + 2x, which is with respect to an increases area of 1,000 square feet.
( 30 + 2x )
( 20 + 2x ) = 1000 - Expand "( 30 + 2x )
( 20 + 2x )"
600 + 100x + 4
= 1000 - Subtract 1000 on either side, making on side = 0
4
+ 100x - 400 = 0 - Take the "quadratic equation formula"
( Quadratic Equation is as follows ) -
,
,

There can't be a negative width of the walkway, hence our solution should be ( in exact terms )
. The approximated value however is 3.5081...or approximately 3.5 feet.
The answer is two hundred thirty four.
Answer:
Each person would receive maximum 0.8 pounds of potato.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total Amount of Potato = 16 pounds.
Number of people attend reunion = 20
We need to find the largest amount of potato each person would receive.
Solution:
largest amount of potato each person would receive can be calculated by dividing Total Amount of Potato with Number of people attend the reunion.
framing in equation form we get;
largest amount of potato each person would receive = 
Hence Each person would receive maximum 0.8 pounds of potato.
