Answer:

x = 8*root3

y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use tangent and cosine of 60° to find x and y, BUT THERE'S A SHORTCUT. You pointed out that its a 30°-60°-90° triangle. That is a special right triangle. Here's the shortcut:

the longest side (hypotenuse) is double the shortest side. We have an 8 on the shortest side, so the hypotenuse (longest side) is 16. This ALWAYS works for 30°-60°-90° triangles!

Another shortcut:

The longer leg is the shorter leg × root3.

This ALWAYS works on 30°-60°-90° triangles.

So on your triangle, the short side is 8, that means the longer leg is 8×root3.

ta-daaaa!

Which set of angle measures could be the interior angles of a triangle?

andriy [413]

Answer:

d. 15, 30, 135

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle's interior angles on a flat surface add up to 180 degrees.

a. 90 * 3 = 270 != 180

b.(80 * 2) + 200 = 360 != 180

c.40 + 50 + 60 = 160 != 180

d.15 + 30 + 135 = 45 + 135 = 180, so it has to be d.

If A, B, and C are integers between 1 and 10 (inclusive), how many different combinations of A, B, and C exist such that A

Marianna [84]

$\fontsize{18}{10}{\textup{\textbf{The number of different combinations is 120.}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A, B and C are integers between 1 and 10 such that A<B<C.

The value of A can be minimum 1 and maximum 8.

If A = 1, B = 2, then C can be one of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (8 options).

If A = 1, B = 3, then C has 7 options (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).

If A = 1, B = 4, then C has 6 options (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).

If A = 1, B = 5, then C has 5 options (6, 7, 8, 10).

If A = 1, B = 6, then C has 4 options (7, 8, 9, 10).

If A = 1, B = 7, then C has 3 options (8, 9, 10).

If A = 1, B = 8, then C has 2 options (9, 10).

If A = 1, B = 9, then C has 1 option (10).

So, if A = 1, then the number of combinations is

$n_1=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8=\dfrac{8(8+1)}{2}=36.$

Similarly, if A = 2, then the number of combinations is

$n_2=1+2+3+4+5+6+7=\dfrac{7(7+1)}{2}=28.$

If A = 3, then the number of combinations is

$n_3=1+2+3+4+5+6=\dfrac{6(6+1)}{2}=21.$

If A = 4, then the number of combinations is

$n_4=1+2+3+4+5=\dfrac{5(5+1)}{2}=15.$

If A = 5, then the number of combinations is

$n_5=1+2+3+4=\dfrac{4(4+1)}{2}=10.$

If A = 6, then the number of combinations is

$n_6=1+2+3=\dfrac{3(3+1)}{2}=6.$

If A = 7, then the number of combinations is

$n_7=1+2=\dfrac{2(2+1)}{2}=3.$

If A = 3, then the number of combinations is

$n_8=1.$

Therefore, the total number of combinations is

$n\\\\=n_1+n_2+n_3+n_4+n_5+n_6+n_7+n_8\\\\=36+28+21+15+10+6+3+1\\\\=120.$

Thus, the required number of different combinations is 120.
