Let's check if (3 , 6) is the point of intersection of the given lines ~
and
If the point is the point of intersection of these two lines, then it should satisfy both the equations ~
let's try each of them, using x coordinate of point.
So, the point didn't actually satisfy one of the equation. hence we can infer that the given statement is wrong.
Answer:
HT = 17 cm
<T = 58°
<H = 32°
Step-by-step explanation:
✔️Find HT:
Since it's a right triangle, we would apply the Pythagorean Theorem given as c² = a² + b²
Where,
a = HW = 15 cm
b = WT = 8 cm
c = HT
Plug in the values:
HT² = 15² + 8²
HT² = 289
HT = √289
HT = 17 cm
✔️Find <T by applying trigonometric ratio formula:
Recall: SOH CAH TOA
Reference angle (θ) = <T
HW = 15 cm = Opposite side length
WT = 8 cm = Adjacent side length
Apply CAH:
Cos θ = Adj/Hyp
Substitute
Cos T = 8/15
T =
T ≈ 58°
✔️Find <H:
Sun of interior angles of a triangle = 180°
Therefore,
m<H + m<T + m<W = 180°
Substitute
m<H + 58° + 90° = 180°
m<H + 148° = 180°
m<H = 180° - 148°
m<H = 32°
