10/a = 15/24
a=?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a=16

Step-by-step explanation:

10/a=15/24, a≠0

10/a=5/8

80=5a

5a=80

a=16,a≠0

a=16

Answer 2
a = 16. How did I get this? Well, 15/24 is a reducible fraction itself. When reducing the fraction 15/24, we divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/8. Now that we have 5/8 as our simplified fraction, the expression is:

10/a = 5/8

Because 10 divided by 2 equals 5, we could multiply 8 by 2 to get what our denominator that is missing would be. 8 x 2 = 16, so a = 16. 10/16 = 15/24.

Your final answer: a = 16

how to figure out pythagoras theorem?

Answers

Any triangle with one angle equal to 90⁰ produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.

What is the Pythagoras Theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that if a triangle is right-angled (90 degrees), then the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In △ABD and △ACB,

∠A = ∠A (common)

∠ADB = ∠ABC (both are right angles)

Thus, △ABD ∼ △ACB (by AA similarity criterion)

Similarly, we can prove △BCD ∼ △ACB.

Thus △ABD ∼ △ACB,

Therefore, AD/AB = AB/AC.

We can say that AD × AC = AB².

Similarly, △BCD ∼ △ACB.

Therefore,

CD/BC = BC/AC.

We can also say that

CD × AC = BC².

Adding these 2 equations, we get

AB² + BC² = (AD × AC) + (CD × AC)

AB² + BC² =AC(AD +DC)

AB² + BC² = AC²

Hence proved

Thus, any triangle with one angle equal to 90⁰ produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.

Answers

All of these questions require one thing: trigonometric functions.

There are 3 main trigonometric functions, which can only be used on right triangles: sine, cosine, and tangent.

Sine = opposite / hypotenuse

Cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse

Tangent = opposite / adjacent

When trying to figure out what function to use, we always start by looking from the angle. Take problem a, for example. Looking from angle E, of which the value is not given, we have the side opposite and the side adjacent. Therefore, we should use the tangent function.

---The hypotenuse is always the longest side of the triangle. It is never considered the opposite or adjacent side.

Let's set up our function with the given information from problem a.

tan(x) = 9.7 / 5.2

---The tangent of an unknown angle is equal to the quotient of the opposite side and the adjacent side.

Now, solving for the value of x will require a calculator. We'll need to use what's called an inverse trigonometric function. Most calculators have these directly above the regular trigonometric functions, and the inverse functions are accessed using a "second" key.

---Ensure that your calculator is in degrees, not radians!

x = tan^-1(9.7 / 5.2)

x = 61.805 = 62 degrees

Next, let's take a look at problem b. This time, we're solving for a side length instead of an angle. But, we're still going to start by looking from our angle.


Looking from the 38 degree angle, we are given the adjacent side and an unknown hypotenuse. Therefore, we should use the cosine function.

cosine(38) = 53.1 / r

---The cosine of a 38 degree angle is equal to the quotient of 53.1 and an unknown hypotenuse, r.

Use your algebra skills to isolate the variable r.

r * cosine(38) = 53.1

r = 53.1 / cosine(38)

---From here, all you need to do is plug this into your calculator. Since we are solving for a side length (and given an angle), we are just using the regular trigonometric function buttons on the calculator.

r = 67.385 = 67.4 units

Which value of x makes this equation true?
-12x2(x + 9) = 5(x + 4)
O A.
OB.
O C.
O D.

Answers

Answer:

B. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x -2(x+9) = 5(x+4)

*ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR BODMAS*

-12x -2x - 18 = 5x + 20

*group the like terms*

-14x - 5x = 20 + 18

-19x = 38

x = -2

The value of x that makes the equation true is: x = -2.

B. -2.

Here, we have to find the value of x that makes the equation true, we need to solve for x.

Let's solve the equation step by step:

-12x - 2(x + 9) = 5(x + 4)

Distribute the -2 and 5 on the right side of the equation:

-12x - 2x - 18 = 5x + 20

Combine like terms on both sides:

-14x - 18 = 5x + 20

Move the variable terms (5x) to one side of the equation and the constant terms to the other side.

Let's subtract 5x from both sides:

-14x - 5x - 18 = 5x - 5x + 20

-19x - 18 = 20

Move the constant term (-18) to the other side of the equation.

Let's add 18 to both sides:

-19x - 18 + 18 = 20 + 18

-19x = 38

Finally, divide both sides by -19 to isolate x:

x = 38 / -19

x = -2

So, the value of x that makes the equation true is: x = -2.

What is corresponding angles?

When two parallel lines meet any other line, comparable angles are generated in matching corners or corresponding corners with the transversal, these angles are called corresponding angles.

If the given diagram is modified a bit it will look as shown below, the two angles will be 61° because the two angles are corresponding angles.

Now, since 61° and x lie on the same side of the line, therefore, the sum of the two angles will be,

61° + x = 180°

x = 119°

Also, the angles measured at 61° and (3y-23)° lie on the same side of the transversal, therefore, these two angles are corresponding angles. Thus,

61° = (3y-23)°

61 = 3y - 23

We have an octagon

In an octagon the number of sides = 8

The sum of the angles in the octagon is given by:

n = 8

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

Answer:

b(n) = -11 + (n-1)*8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the sequence number, with n=1 the first number b(1) -11

The sequence changes by +8 each step.

b(1)   -11         + 8 =   -3

b(2)   -3          + 8 =    5

b(3)   5         + 8 =   13

b(4) 13

b(1) = -11

b(2) = -3.   or b(1) + 1*8

b(3) =  5,    or b(1) + 2*8

b(4) =  13,   or b(1) + 3*8

We note that each step adds a multiple of 8 to the initial value of -11.  This can be stated as (n-1)*8

The formula for this sequence would be b(n) = b(1) + (n-1)*8

b(n) = -11 + (n-1)*8
