Determine the value of each variable in the figure below. Keep answers in simplest radical form.
1 answer:
Answer:
a = 21
b = 63
c = 42√3
d = 21√3
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. The given side (42) is the longest side of the smallest triangle, and the shortest side of the largest triangle.
That means the other sides of the smallest triangle will be ...
a = 42/2 = 21
a+b = 2(42) = 84
b = (a+b) -a = 84 -21 = 63
d = 21√3 . . . . middle-length side of the smallest triangle
c = 42√3 . . . . middle-length side of the largest triangle
The values of the variables are ...
- a = 21
- b = 63
- c = 42√3
- d = 21√3

Answer:
True.
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit form for an arithmetic sequence is:
where is the first term and
is the common difference.
The common difference here is 2 because the y's are going up by 2 while the x's are going up by 1.
Yes, the common difference is the slope.
So we have d=2.
The first term is 9.5 because that is what happens when x=1.
x is n.
y is .
So the answer is true.
