Answer:
y = root under 24 (evaluate it if necessary)
or y = 2 root 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the reference angle be x
for the triangle in left,
b = 6-4 = 2
Now,
taking x as refrence angle,
cosx = b/h
or, cosx = 2/h
again,
for the bigger triangle,
taking x as reference angle,
cosx = b/h
or, cosx = b/6
As we can see base of bigger triangle is equal to hypotenuse of triangle at the left,
Let's suppose its a
so, cosx = a/6 = 2/a
now,
a/6 = 2/a
or, a² = 12
now,
for bigger triangle, using pythagoras theorem,
h² = p²+b²
or, 6² = y² + a²
or, 36 = y² + 12
or, y² = 24
so, y = root under 24
Answer: 3.82 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the shown figure, we can imagine the scene as a <u>right triangle</u>, where the tower is located at the right angle, and the fireman and the forest fire located at each of the other two vertices.
So, since we are dealing with a right triangle we can use the Pithagorean Theorem, in order to find the distance from the fireman to the fire 
, which is also the hypotenuse.

Answer: 4b+9
Step-by-step explanation: add the B's together
Answer:
a) ∠2 and ∠4 are a linear pair
∠4 = 115°
b) ∠2 and ∠7 are alternate exterior angles
∠7 = 65°
c) ∠2 and ∠3 are vertical angles
∠3 = 65°
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear pair : a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. The two angles of a linear pair are always supplementary (two angles whose measures add up to 180°)
Alternate exterior angles : when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal (a line that intersects two or more other, often parallel, lines), the resulting alternate exterior angles are <u>congruent</u>.
Vertical angles : a pair of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines. Vertical angles are always <u>congruent.</u>
a) ∠2 and ∠4 are a linear pair
⇒ ∠2 +∠4 = 180
⇒ 65 + ∠4 = 180
⇒ ∠4 = 180 - 65
⇒ ∠4 = 115°
b) ∠2 and ∠7 are alternate exterior angles
⇒ ∠2 ≅ ∠7
⇒ ∠7 = 65°
c) ∠2 and ∠3 are vertical angles
⇒ ∠2 ≅ ∠3
⇒ ∠3 = 65°
