Answer:
x = 8.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle = 30°
Opposite side length = x
Adjacent side length = 15
Apply trigonometric function, TOA:
Tan 30° = Opp/Adj
Plug in the values
Tan 30° = x/15
Multiply both sides by 15
15*Tan 30° = x
8.66025404 = x
x = 8.7 (nearest tenth)
the sum of supplementary angles is 180 degree
therefore
x +2x = 180°
3x = 180
X = 180/3 = 60°
the value of X is 60°
We need to make a scale between blueprint and actual size. The trick in this question is to understand that the scale for the areas and the scale for the lengths are different.
Scale for area is given in the question as
1 unit on blueprint = 900 units in actual.
As the dining room is given to be rectangular we can find the scale for lengths by taking square root of scale for area.
√1 unit on blueprint = √900 units in actual
Therefore, scale for length= 1:30
Thus, by using the scale we can calculate actual length corresponding to 4 inches on blueprint by multiplying 4 with scale
4 inches×1/30=120inches
Answer = 120 inches
