Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the adjacent side length in cm

opposite side is x + 2 cm

hypotenuse is x + 4 cm

x² + (x + 2)² = (x + 4)²

x² + (x² + 4x + 4) = (x² + 8x + 16)

x² - 4x - 12 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0

so either

x - 6 = 0    x = 6

or

x + 2 = 0    x = -2

positive answer is x = 6 as negative length does not make sense

opposite side is 6 + 2 = 8

hypotenuse is 6 + 4 = 10

perimeter is 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 cm

Use the unit circle to find the inverse function value in degrees.<br> tan^-1 sqrt 3
mr Goodwill [35]
Use the unit circle to find the inverse function value in degrees.tan^-1 sqrt 3

The correct answer would be 60 degrees. Since you are asked to find an angle that the tangent is equal to sqrt 3. The only angle that is equal to that given the interval is 60 degrees. So that is the correct answer. I hope this answer helped you.
