The tangent meets the radius at a right angle.
We use (the converse of) the Pythagorean Theorem to check:
Not a right triangle
Answer: FALSE
Answer:
2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Both of the angles will add up to 180 degrees so let’s make an equation.
5x-5+2x+10=180
First we collect like terms
5x+2x-5+10=180
Add them up
7x+5=180
Move the constant to the right
7x=180-5
7x=175
7x/7=175/7
x=25
So yes it’s true x=25.
Now we find the respective angles,
5x-5
5(25)-5
125-5
120
So angle one is 120 degrees.
2x+10
2(25)+10
50+10
60
So angle two is 60 degrees.
Now to check,
120+60=180
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 13.75
Step-by-step explanation:
a right-angled triangle.
so, we use Pythagoras
c² = a² + b²
where c is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).
so, in our case
17² = 10² + x²
289 = 100 + x²
189 = x²
x = 13.75
