Question

In △JKL, solve for x.



66.73

74.89


15.44

38.16

Answer 1

just the answer please

Answer 2

how would you know it's the right answer if we don't show how we got that? O.o

Answer 3

well i already try to firgure it out and got 74.89 so iam ttrying to see if someone else got the same answer

Answer 4

@lawrenceh123

Answer 5

can u show me how u got that? please?

Answer 6

lol tan(27) = 34/x

tan(27)(x) = 34

x = 34/(tan(27)

The answer is 66.73.
i meant to say

Answer 7

but then again i think it 74.89

Answer 8

that looks fine :)
and I'm sorry if I was annoying..:( i thought u wanted just the answer :S

Answer 9

it ok girl but is it 74.89 or the 66.73

Answer 10

well..i didn't do the calculations cause Idk wht's tan27...

Answer 11

The tangent function of an angle of a right triangle is defined to be the ratio of the opposite leg to the adjacent leg. tan 27 = 34/x tan 27 / 1 = 34 / x tan (27) * x = 34 x = 34/ [tan (27)] x = 66.728 approx or 66.73

Answer 12

in a right triangle , the side just forward of an angle is its perpendicular.so,
27=perpendicular
x=hypotenuse

Answer 13

use Pythagoras theorem to find the base
\[b=\sqrt{x^2-27^2}\]

Answer 14

solve this for base & then plug the value of base in the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x:)

Answer 15

ok and what did you get when you solved @jiteshmeghwal9

Answer 16

Dude i have gave u only tips i haven't find the solution

Answer 17

wow you dont have to be rude i was just asking

Answer 18

@jiteshmeghwal9

Answer 19

noooo ! dude i amn't ruding to u.
i m only telling to u

Answer 20

ok tht fine but please stop calling me dude though thanks :) @jiteshmeghwal9

Answer 21

@jiteshmeghwal9 :O how did u do that O.o

Answer 22

@amistre64 will u pleaaaaaaase take a look at this? :)

Answer 23

the angle just forward of a angle is known as the perpendicular of the given right angled triangle

Answer 24

hi dari, for starters, thanks for keeping this pleasant ... and we do not really like to just give out answers; there is no study value in only an answer.

but onto the question

Answer 25

the definition of sine is: over/hyp

Answer 26

sin(27) = 34/x

x = 34/sin(27)

Answer 27

so i let the side just forward of angle 27 be the perpendicular & then find the base of the triangle & then plug the value of base in the Pythagoras theorem to solve for 'x'.

Answer 28

also, hyps are greater in value than either leg, so we can weed out those that are less than 34

Answer 29

Thank u Amistre :D

Answer 30

since 45 degrees creates equal legs, the other leg is greater than 34

so we can weed out the values that are less that 2*34 = 68

Answer 31

or do i have that backwards? lol ugh

Answer 32

lol :D @amistre64 I suppose ur always right so I don't pay much attention of what u write :D :P

Answer 33

the sum of 2 sides is greater than the remainig side

hmm, .... never mind that route :)

x = 34/sin(27) is your best shot

Answer 34

27 is almost 30 degrees; and i know a 30-60-90 has sides of 2-1-sqrt(3)

the 1 scales to 34 so the hyp is 2*34 = 68

a smaller angle up top means that the hypot needs to strech; so its bigger than 68
