First you must remember that: An isosceles triangle consists of a vertex angle and 2 CONGRUENT base angles.
subtract 180-24
156/2
=78
CHECK:
25+78+78=180
The height of the lighthouse is 44 feet.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
You are given more information than you need.
Use the right triangle concept,
A yacht is anchored 90 feet offshore
from the base of a lighthouse.
- Base = 90 feet
- Height = h feet
The angle of elevation from the boat to the top of the lighthouse is 26 degrees.
<u>Using one side length and the angle only: </u>
The trigonometric formula is given as,
tan = height / base
tan[26º] = h ⁄ 90
h = 90 × tan[26º]
h = 43.9 ft
h = 44 feet
Therefore, the height of the lighthouse is 44 feet.
The answer is 7
because the equation is |(3)(-2)-1|
Answer:
5x² - 10x - 15 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the roots are x = 3 and x = - 1, then the factors are
(x - 3) and (x + 1) and the quadratic is the product of the factors, that is
f(x) = a(x - 3)(x + 1) ← a is a multiplier
Here a = 5, thus
f(x) = 5(x - 3)(x + 1) ← expand factors using FOIL
= 5(x² - 2x - 3) ← distribute parenthesis by 5
= 5x² - 10x - 15
Thus equation is
5x² - 10x - 15 = 0
We can say that x is the largest number.
So the sum is x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) + (x - 3) + (x - 4) = -5
Now solve for x:
x + x + x + x + x - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 = -5
5x - 10 = -5
5x = 5
x = 1
So the largest number is 1.
Check: 1 + 0 + -1 + -2 + -3 = -2 + -3 = -5 so 1 is correct.
