Answer:

66.42° between height and hypotenuse

23.58° between base and hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the concept of cosine and sine, we know that cosine of an angle is equal to the adjacent divided by hypotenuse.

Similarly, sine of an angle is given by opposite divided by hypotenuse

Tangent is given by opposite divided by adjacent

In rhis case, we use cosine

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac {6}{15})=66.4218215217982\\\theta\approx 66.42^{\circ}$

Therefore, the angle between the hypotenuse and height is 66.42°

To find the angle between base and hypotenuse, since it is a right angle triangle then the other angle will be 90-66.42=23.58°

Answer:7043.82

It would be 4200 x 1.09 which is the interest to the power of 6 for the number of years which would then give you 4200 x 1.09^6. This will then give the answer of 7043.82

Calculate the area of this figure. Show all work and include proper units.<br> Check photo for units

Allushta [10]

Answer:

92 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

If you complete the square, you will add a right triangle with legs 10 - 6 = 4 ft.

<u>The area of the figure is:</u>

A = 10² - 1/2*4*4 = 100 - 8 = 92 ft²

A number cube is rolled 350 times and these are the results: 60 ones, 65 twos, 54 threes, 63 fours, 62 fives, and 46 sixes. What

BlackZzzverrR [31]

The experimental probability can be represented as a fraction of the number of times a five was not the result over the total number of times the cube was rolled.

The answer would be 288/350 or 144/175.

The length of a rectangle is 59 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length, find the

Paul [167]

So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
$\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\ \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}$

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"
