The first step that we need to take before attempting to solve a problem is to understand what the problem is asking us to do and what is given to us to help accomplish that goal. Looking at the problem statement they are asking for us to determine the value of the unknown variable h. We are given one angle along with two sides.
Now that we have completed that step, we can move onto understanding what needs to be done to solve for the unknown. We know that the best option is to use some trigonometry to help us determine the other side. Using Soh | Cah | Toa we are able to determine that we have the opposite side (h) and the hypotenuse (15.6 cm).
<u>Trigonometric functions</u>
<u>Plug in the values</u>
We know have an expression which contains everything that we need to determine the value of the unknown. To help isolate h we need to multiply both sides by 15.6 cm which will isolate h. After that we need to simplify the expression so we can get the value of h.
<u>Multiply both sides by 15.6 cm</u>
<u>Simplify the expression</u>
After simplifying the expression, we are able to eliminate options A and C because they state that h is equal to 8.4 cm. We also know that with the given dimensions we would be able to create two triangles. Therefore, the option that best incapsulates the correct answer would be option B - 9.2, two possible triangles.

Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence you are just multiplying basically. To go from 36 to 24, you multiply by 2/3, and the same will be with the next term. When you multiply 24 by 2/3 you get 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
factor 4 out of the variable terms, as this helps.
but my approach is simply to define the target and then calculate "backwards".
we want to find
(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²
and now we compare with the original equation :
a²x² = 4x²
a² = 4
a = 2
2abx = 16x
2×2×bx = 16x
4b = 16
b = 4
b² = 16, but we have only 3, so we need to subtract 16-3 = 13 from the completed square.
so, our equation is
(2x + 4)² - 13 = 0
(2x + 4)² = 13
2x + 4 = sqrt(13)
2x = sqrt(13) - 4
x = sqrt(13)/2 - 2
