Answer:

x= 38

y= 71

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown in the figure is an isosceles triangle, a triangle having two sides equal.

The two sides marked with a "dash" are said to be equal.

If we label off the triangle as ABC with AD being the extended length (containing 108°).

We'll get,

AB = AC

*Property*

"If two sides of a triangle are equal their corresponding base angles are equal too."

=> ∠BAC = ∠BCA . . . . (¡)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

From the figure, ∠BCA is equal to y.

*Property*

"Two angles on a straight line sum up to 180°"

∠BAC can be found out by subtracting 109° from the straight angle (180°).

=> ∠BAC = 180 - 109

=> ∠BAC = 71°

Substituting these values in eqn. (¡):

71 = y

Hence, the value of y is 71°

*Property*

"The exterior angle(angle on the extended side) of a triangle is equal to the sum of it's interior opposite angles."

Here,

Interior angles = x and y (= 71)
Exterior Angle = 109°

=> 109 = x + 71

=> 109 - 71 = x

=> x = 38°

Hence, the value of x is 38°.

Using the transformation T: (x, y) (x + 2, y + 1), find the distance named. Find the distance BB'

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$\sqrt{5}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The rule of the translation is equal to

$(x,y)-----> (x+2,y+1)$

That means

The translations is $2$ units to the right and $1$ unit up

Let

$(x,y)$ -------> the coordinates of point B

$(x+2,y+1)$ ------> the coordinates of point B'

Find the distance

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute

$d=\sqrt{((y+1)-y)^{2}+((x+2)-x)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(1)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{5}\ units$

Find the area of the following

kozerog [31]

Answer:

Area = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular bisector of the triangle going from upper left to the middle marks the height of the triangle. It's area is found from the standard formula.

Area = b * h / 2

b = 2 + 2 = 4

h = 8

Area = 1/2 * 4 * 8

Area = 1/2 * 32

Area = 16

The smaller triangle is found from all the twos.

b = 2 + 2 same as the larger triangle

h = 2

Area = 1/2 2 * 4

Area = 1/2 8

Area = 4

Total Area = 4 + 16

Total Area = 20

Determine the axis of symmetry and the vertex of the given function. y = 2x2 - 12x + 21

mestny [16]

Answer:

the vertex is ( 3 , 3)

Symetric axis‘s equation: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let‘s name the function ” f ”

f(x) = y = 2x² - 12x + 21

the vertex has coordinates of ( -b/2a , f(-b/2a) )

-b/2a = 12/2(2) = 12/4 = 3

f(-b/2a) = f(3) = 2(3)² - 12(3) + 21 = 3

then the vertex is ( 3 , 3)

the symetric axis has the equation :

x = -b/2a

then

Find the exact values of cos 3 pi/4 radians sin 3 pi/4 radians.

Liula [17]

If you consult the unit circle, you will see that:

$cos(\frac{3\pi}{4}) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\sin(\frac{3\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

3pi/4 in degrees is 3pi/4 * 180/pi = 3/4 * 180 = 135 degrees. And please refer to the attachment to how you can obtain the values above.

Now, lets multiply it together.

$-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} =\\\\-\frac{2}{4} =\\\\ \boxed{\bf{-\frac{1}{2}}}$

So, cos(3pi/4)sin(3pi/4) = -1/2
