What is the approximate value of x in the diagram below

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anon25 [30]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in solving this problem is to determine which trig function applies.  The diagram shows that this triangle is a right triangle, that side x is opposite the 25-degree angle, and that the hypotenuse has a length of 18 cm.  

The sine function of an angle Ф is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.  In this case, sin Ф (or sin 25 degrees) equals x/(18 cm).

We need to determine the value of x.  Adapt the above equation to this particular situation:  sin 25 degrees = x/(18 cm).

To solve for x, multiply both sides of the most recent equation, above, by (18 cm).  The following results:  (18 cm)(sin 25 degrees) = x.

Next, use a calculator to find the value of sin 25 degrees:  It is 0.4226.

Then the desired value of x is (18 cm)(0.4226), or x = 7.61 cm.  This should be rounded off to x = 8 cm to reflect the level of accuracy of the given 18 cm.

Explain what the inequality --4h &lt;-14 represents.<br> What value of h makes the equation true
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

-4h < - 14

We solve for h by applying the inverse operations;

The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide by -4 on both sides;

/-4      /-4

h < 3.5, it could be <u>3.4, 3.3, 3.2 3.123, 2.4, 2.576</u>, there are tons of numbers below 3.5.

<u>So anything below 3.5 would best be suitable for the equation.</u>

90+(x+5)+(2x-2)=180<br> Will you please help me solve this
Zepler [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 90 + (x + 5) + (2x - 2) = 180
  • x + 5 + 2x - 2 = 180 - 90
  • 3x + 3 = 90
  • 3x = 87
  • x = 29

Prove the identity.<br> tan(x − y) + tan(z − x) + tan(y − z) = tan(x − y) tan(z − x) tan(y − z)
Viktor [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is known as the triple tangent identity.  Start with the fact that the three angles add up to 0.

(x − y) + (z − x) + (y − z) = 0

Subtract two terms to the other side and take the tangent:

x − y = -((z − x) + (y − z))

tan(x − y) = tan(-((z − x) + (y − z)))

Use reflection property:

tan(x − y) = -tan((z − x) + (y − z))

Now use angle sum identity:

tan(x − y) = -[tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)] / [1 − tan(z − x) tan(y − z)]

tan(x − y) = [tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)] / [tan(z − x) tan(y − z) − 1]

tan(x − y) [tan(z − x) tan(y − z) − 1] = tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)

tan(x − y) tan(z − x) tan(y − z) − tan(x − y) = tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)

tan(x − y) tan(z − x) tan(y − z) = tan(x − y) + tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)

A triangle has one side measuring 5 feet and two sides measuring 7 feet. What kind of
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

isoceles but not equilateral

Step-by-step explanation:

it has two sides that are the same length, but not all three sides are the same length

An equilateral triangle is therefore a special case of an isosceles triangle having not just two, but all three sides equal
