we know that

Step 1

in the right triangle XYZ

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

Find the value of ZY

XY^{2}=XZ^{2} +ZY^{2} \\   ZY^{2}=XY^{2}-XZ^{2}\\ ZY^{2}=42^{2}-21^{2}\\ ZY^{2}=1,323\\ ZY=\sqrt{1,323}\ units

ZY=21\sqrt{3}\ units

Step 2

in the right triangle XYZ

Find tan60°

we know that

tan\ 60=\frac{opposite\ side\ angle\ 60}{adjacent\ side\ angle\ 60}

in this problem

opposite side angle 60 is ZY

adjacent side angle 60 is XZ

so

tan\ 60=\frac{ZY}{XZ} \\ \\ tan\ 60=\frac{21\sqrt{3}}{21}  \\ \\  tan\ 60=\sqrt{3}

therefore

the answer is

\sqrt{3}

A series contains 18 numbers and has a sum of 4,185. The last number of the series is 275. What is the first number?
dusya [7]
The sum of arithmetic series is given by:
Sn=n/2(a1+an)
where:
n=number of terms
a1=first term
an=nth term
but
n=18, an=275, Sn=4185
plugging the values in the formula we get:
4185=18/2(a1+275)
simplifying this we get:
4185=9(a1+275)
dividing through by 9 we get:
465=a1+275
thus
a1=465-275
a1=190

Answer: first number is 190

Flying fish use their pectoral fins like airplane wings to glide through the air. Suppose a flying fish reaches a maximum height
GrogVix [38]

The flight is in the shape of a parabola with a vertex 5 feet above the water and  1/2 * 33 = 16.5 feet horizontally from the point of leaving the water

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

where  (h,k)  is the vertex of the  parabola and here it is (5 , 16.5), so we have the function:-

y = a(x - 16.5)^2 + 5

when x = 0 y = 0  so

0 = a(-16.5)^2 + 5

which gives a = -0.018365

So our function for the flight path is

y = -0.018365(x - 16.5)^2 + 5     Answer

Find a right triangle that has legs with your irrational Lengths and a hypotenuse with a rational Length
cluponka [151]

gg easy


the legs of a triangle are related as a^2+b^2=c^2 wehre a, b, and c are the legs and the hypotonuse of a triangle respectively


let's find some stuff

one easy way is to find a rational value for c find values of a and b

lets pick c=5

a^2+b^2=5^2

a^2+b^2=25

now split up 25 into 2 things that don't have rational square roots

if we say a^2=19 and b^2=6 then we get

a=\sqrt{19} and b=\sqrt{6} (which are both irrational)

A wall in Maria’s bedroom is in the shape of a trapezoid. The wall can be divided into a rectangle and a triangle. Using the 45°
Radda [10]
A wall is in the shape of a trapezoid and it can be divided into a rectangle and a triangle. A triangle is with angles 45°- 45° - 90°. The hypotenuse of that triangle is 13√2 ft.Using the 45° - 45° - 90° theorem, sides of that triangle are in the proportion:x : x : x√2, and since that x√2 = 13√2 ( hypotenuse ),  x = 13.Therefore h = 13 ft.We can check it: c² = 13² + 13²,c² = 169 + 169c² = 338c = √ 338 = 13√2Answer: h = 13 ft

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 14 in. If the base
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

13.85

Step-by-step explanation:

U use the pythagorean theorem

So 2^2 + x^2 = 14^2

Simplify the equation: 4+x^2=196

--> x^2=192

--> x=13.85

-Hope this helps :)
