Answer:

A = 144\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is:

A = 0.5b*h

Where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height

In this case we know the hypotenuse of the triangle and the angle B.

Then we can use the sine of the angle to find the side opposite the angle

By definition we know that

sin (\theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

In this case hypotenuse = 24

opposite = b

Then:

sin (45) = \frac{b}{24}

b= 24*sin(45)

b=12\sqrt{2}

Now

cos(\theta) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

adjacent = a = h

cos(45) = \frac{h}{24}

h = 24*cos(45)\\\\h=12\sqrt{2}

Then the area is:

A = 0.5*12\sqrt{2}(12\sqrt{2})\\\\A=144\ ft

ANSWER

Area = 144 {ft}^{2}

EXPLANATION

We use the sine ratio to find the missing side.

\sin(45 \degree)  =  \frac{AC}{24}

24\sin(45 \degree) = AC

AC = 24 \times  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}

AC = 12 \sqrt{2} ft

The triangle is a right isosceles triangle.

This implies that,

AC=BC=12√2 ft.

The area of the triangle is:

Area =  \frac{1}{2} bh

We substitute the values to get,

Area =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 12 \sqrt{2}  \times 12 \sqrt{2}

Area = 144 {ft}^{2}

a big cruise ship dropped anchor off the Caribbean island of antigua. the heavy anchor dropped into the water at a rate of 2.5 m
AysviL [449]

Falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s for 45 seconds, the anchor fell

                                     (2.5 m/s) x (45 s)  =  112.5 meters .

If it wound up only 40 meters underwater, then it must have fallen

                                      (112.5 m  -  40 m)  =  72.5 meters

from its storage position on the big cruise ship, 
before it ever reached the water.

Since it was falling at the rate of  2.5 m/s, it took

                                     (72.5 m) / (2.5 m/s)  =  29 seconds

to get down to the water surface after it started dropping.

Jim was thinking of a number. Jim halves the number and gets an answer of 61.2. Form an equation with
ioda

Answer:

X/2 = 61.2

X=122.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so we know that a number was halved so we can use x and equaled to 61.2 so we can do x/2 = 61.2

Graph a line with a slope of 3/4 that contains the point (2,-3).
arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plot the point (2, -3) on the graph.  Then, use the slope to pick another point.  The slope is rise over run.  For your slope, the line will go 3 places up and then 4 places to the right.  Using a straight-edge, follow the points and you will get the graph of the line.
