Answer:

length of qt = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that qrs is a right angle triangle,

where qr = 20

          sr = ?

          qs = 25

          qt = ?

<h3>1)</h3><h3>Find sr</h3>

hypotenuse² = base² + height²

sq² = sr² + rq²

25² - 20² = sr²

sr = √25² - 20²

sr = 15

2)

When altitude rt is drawn to hypotenuse qs, it divides the triangle qrs into

two right angle triangle, rtq and rts.

Δrtq

height = rt

base= tq = 25 - x

hypotenuse = qt = 20

Δrts

height = rt

base= ts = x

hypotenuse = sr = 15

These both triangle shares same altitude that is rt

So, by using pythagorus theorem

      Δ rtq                                               Δ rts

hypotenuse² - base² = height² = hypotenuse² - base²

20² - (25 - x)² = 15² - x²

400 - (625 + x² - 50x) = 225 - x²

400 - 625 - x² + 50x = 225 - x²

-225 - x² + 50x - 225 + x² = 0

-450 + 50 x = 0

50x = 450

x = 450/50

x = 9

base of Δ rtq = tq = 25 - x

                         tq = 25 - 9

                         tq = 16

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The length of qt is </u><u>15</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

According to Pythagorean Theorem

c² = a²  + b²

c² -  a² = b²  

25² -  20² = b²  

625 - 400 = b²  

225 = b²  

Taking square root on both sides

b = 15

Triangle KLM represents a section of a park set aside for picnic tables. The picnic area will take up approximately 400 square y
svetoff [14.1K]
Given triangle KLM with two sides given as 45 yd and 20 yd and a 25 degree angle opposite the 20 yd side.

We find the angle made at the opposite of the 45 yd side using the sine rule as follows.
\frac{\sin{A}}{a} =  \frac{\sin{B}}{b}  \\  \frac{\sin{25^o}}{20} = \frac{\sin{B}}{45}  \\ \sin{B}= \frac{45\sin{25^o}}{20} = \frac{19.0178}{20} =0.9509 \\ B=\arcsin{(0.9509)}=71.97^o

Thus, the third angle is given by 180 - 25 - 71.97 = 83.03 degrees.

We also use the sine rule to find the third side of the triangle as follows.
\frac{\sin{A}}{a} = \frac{\sin{C}}{c} \\ \frac{\sin{25^o}}{20} = \frac{\sin{83.03^o}}{c} \\ c= \frac{20\sin{83.03^o}}{\sin{25^o}} = \frac{19.8522}{\sin{25^o}} =46.97 yds

Therefore, amount of fencing needed to surround the perimeter of the picnic area = 45 + 20 + 46.97 = 111.97 ≈ 120 yds

The diagram shows the sequence of three rigid transformations used to map TriangleABC onto TriangleA"B"C". What is the sequence
Igoryamba

Answer:

Rotation, then reflection, then translation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of three rigid transformations that is used to map Triangle ABC onto TriangleA"B"C" are what we called ROTATION ,REFLECTION AND TRANSLATION

ROTATION can be defined as the process or waysbin which an object tend to rotate about a fixed point without the object changing either its size or shape.

REFLECTION occur in a situation where an object is been flipped across a line without the object changing either its size or shape.

TRANSLATION can be defined as the process or ways of sliding a figure in any or various direction without the figure changing either its size or shape .
