Answer:

(i) The length of AH is 7.3784 m

(ii) The length of HC is 10.9389 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles ABC, BAC and ACB is 180º, hence, ACB = 180-90-56 = 34º. Note also that AH breaks the rectangle triangle ABC into 2 rectangle triangles AHB and AHC.

i) In AHB, AB is the hypotenuse, and the angle ABH is equal to ABC, hence it is 56º. AH is the opposite side of that angle and we know that

Sin(ABH) = opposite/hypotenuse = AH/8.9

Thus,

AH = 8.9*Sin(ABH) = 8.9*Sin(56º) = 7.3784 m

ii) In AHC, AH is also the opposite of the angle ACH (which meassures 34º), and HC is the adjacent of that angle (the hypotenuse is AC). As a result

Tan(ACH) = Tan(34º) = 0.6745 = opposite/adjacent = AH/HC = 7.3784/HC

Hence,

HC = 7.3785/0.6745 = 10.9389 m

You have two 30-60-90 triangles, ADC and BDC.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse
1 : sqrt(3) : 2

Using triangle ADC, we can find length AC.
Using triangle BDC, we can find length BC.
Then AB = AC - BC

First, we find length AC.
Look at triangle ACD.
DC is the short leg opposite the 30-deg angle.
DC = 10sqrt(3)
AC = sqrt(3) * 10sqrt(3) = 3 * 10 = 30

Now, we find length BC.
Look at triangle BCD.
For triangle BCD, the long leg is DC and the short leg is BC.
BC = 10sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 10

AB = AC - BC = 30 - 10 = 20

Answer:

40 steps from 2nd to 3rd base

Step-by-step explanation:

18 - 7 + 3 - 5 + 11 = 20, which is halfway, so double that to get to 3rd base.

svetoff [14.1K]

First we need to find how much the annual global seafood consumption (agsc) rose, which is 16 pounds

now, we find how much percent of 22 is 16. we put it through a calculator and, rounded to the nearest tenth, get 72.7%

so, the percent increase is 72.7%
