Question

What is the value of w?

Answer 1

what do you mean by the value of w?

Answer 2

the w is 70 degrees.

Answer 3

How did you get it?

Answer 4

it's 60 degrees I miscalculated.

Answer 5

I don't know how to explain it.

Answer 6

@Mertsj can you help me with this?

Answer 7

Could you atleast show me your steps?

Answer 8

there is a box that means it's a right triangle. I think it's 90 degrees.

Answer 9

This problem is trying to teach you the relationship between the sides of the special right triangle, the 30-60-90 triangle.
Here is the relationship: The long leg is the short leg multiplied by sqrt3
The hypotenuse is the short leg multiplied by 2
In your problem you are given the long leg.
You should divide the long leg by sqrt3 to get the short leg
Then you should multiply the short leg by 2 to get the hypotenuse.

Answer 10

I thought the hypotenuse is the longest one.

Answer 11

That is correct.

Answer 12

Could you help me solve it?

Answer 13

So in this problem, the short leg is:
\[\frac{7\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=7\]

Answer 14

That is long leg divided by sqrt 3

Answer 15

You should not multiply the short leg by 2 to get w which is the hypotenuse.

Answer 16

with do you do with the box?

Answer 17

I don't see a box. What do you mean?

Answer 18

Could you guys help me with another one, on a new thread im going to post it?

Answer 19

A box on the corner of the triangle. It's a right triangle.

Answer 20

That is there to tell you that the angle is a right angle.

Answer 21

I thought you have to find the degrees of the hypotenuse.

Answer 22

The hypotenuse is a line segment. Therefore it is not measured in degrees. Angles and arcs are measured with degrees.

Answer 23

Can you guys help me with the question I posted?

Answer 24

I don't see it.

Answer 25

What is arcs? Are those the half circle lines?
