Find the length of AB

Mathematics
1 answer:
nikklg [1K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

AB=8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABC is a right angled triangle,

Using pythagoras theorem,

h²=p²+b²

or, BC²=AC²+AB²

or, 17²=15²+AB²

or, 289=225+AB²

or, 289-225=AB²

or, AB² = 64

so, AB=8 cm

The bearing of ships A and B from a port P arev225 and 116 respectively ship A is 3.91 from ship B on a bearing of 258 calculate
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

2.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture of the triangle formed by points P, A, and B.  The angle of the line from P to A is 225°.  The angle of the line from P to B is 116°.  The angle of the line from B to A is 258°, and the length of the line is 3.91.

The easiest way to solve this is by first finding the angle of the line from B to P.  Using interior angles, we can show that this is 180° − 116° = 64°.

Next, we can show that:

∠APB = 225° − 116° = 109°

∠ABP = 360° − (258° + 64°) = 38°

Finally, we can use law of sines to find AP.

AP / sin 38° = 3.91 / sin 109°

AP = 2.55

17-19, deal with the ambiguous SSA. For each, find all possible solutions and sketch the triangle(s) in each case
Tatiana [17]

The possible solutions using the Sine Law are given as follows:

Triangle A:
B = 50.26°

C = 79.74°

Triangle B:

B = 62.79°

C = 70.21°

<h3>What is the sine Rule?</h3>

The sine law asserts that the ratio of a triangle's side length to the sine of the opposing angle is the same for all three sides. The sine rule is another name for it.

<h3>What is the explanation for the above solution?</h3>

Triangle A

Given the sine law:
a/SinA = b/SinB

Hence

Sin B = (b/a) SinA

Sin B = 15/10 (Sin 50)

Sn B = (15/10) * 0.766

Sin B = 1.5 * 0.766

B = Sin⁻1 (1.14)

B = 50.26°

Hence, C =

180 - B - A

= 180 - 50.26 - 50

C = 79.74°

Solution B

Given the sine law:

a/SinA = b/SinB

Hence

Sin B = (b/a) SinA

Sin B = 2/1.6 (Sin 47)

Sn B = 1.25 * 0.73

Sin B = 0.9125

B = Sin⁻1 (0.9125)

B = 62.79°

Hence,

C = 180 - 62.79 - 47

C = 70.21°

Four lines are drawn on a coordinate plane to form trapezoid WXYZ. Which statements are true about the lines? Select all that ap
Anastaziya [24]

Given a trapezoid WXYZ. In a trapezoid one pair of opposite sides are parallel .Parallel lines have same slope.Slope of line parallel to x axis is 0.If the line starts at the bottom left and goes towards the top right it has negative slope.

All that is true for Trapezoid WXYZ are:

Line WZ has the same slope as line XY.

Line XW has a lesser slope than line YZ.

Line ZW has the same y-intercept as line WZ.

Line XY has a greater y-intercept
