In △ABC, m∠ABC=40°,
1 answer:
Let m∠CLN = x. Then m∠ALM = 3x, and m∠A = 90°-x, m∠C = 90°-3x.
The sum of angles of ∆ABC is 180°, so we have
... 180° = 40° + m∠A + m∠C
Using the above expressions for m∠A and m∠C, we can write ...
... 180° = 40° + (90° -x) + (90° -3x)
... 4x = 40° . . . . . . . . . add 4x-180°
... x = 10°
From which we conclude ...
... m∠C = 90°-3x = 90° - 3·10° = 60°
The ratio of CN to CL is
... CN/CL = cos(∠C) = cos(60°)
... CN/CL = 1/2
so ...
... CN = (1/2)CL

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Below is the rectangle in the attachment.
Current scale:
1 cm : 6 inches
If the dimensions of the rectangle is:
Length = a cm
Width = b cm
Using the scale:
Length = a × 6 inches
Width = b × 6 inches
Using the same dimensions of the rectangle is:
Length = a cm
Width = b cm
Using the scale:
Length = a × 12 inches
Width = b × 12 inches
Note that there is an enlargement of the rectangle to form the new rectangle. The length and width of new rectangle drawn will be 2 × the length and width of the rectangle seen below.
