Answer:

  12.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Trig functions relate the sides and angles in a right triangle. Here, we're given an angle and an adjacent side, and we're asked to find the hypotenuse. The relevant trig relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(50°) = DE/CD = (8.1 ft)/CD

Solving for CD, we find ...

  CD = (8.1 ft)/cos(50°) ≈ 12.601 ft

The length of CD is about 12.6 feet.

In ∆ABC, point D is the centroid. If (AE) ̅=15, (BF) ̅=27, and (CD) ̅=8, find the following lengths
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

5,18,12 cms are the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle ABC.  Point D is the centroid.  

E,F and G are midpoints of CB, BA and AC respectively.

AE, BF and CG are medians of the triangle.

We know that centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1

Using this we find that AD:DE = 2:1

Or AD+DE:DE = (2+1):1

AE:DE =3:1

15:DE = 3:1 . Hence DE =5 cm.

On the similar grounds we find that DF = 1/3 BF = 9

Hence BD = DF-BF = 27-9 =18 cm

and also

CG = 3/2 times CD = 12 cm.
