Answer 1

Answer 2

have any ideas how to find the other 2 sides?

Answer 3

do I use the pythagorean theorem?

Answer 4

well you cant yet because you only one side.

do you know the special relationship between the hypothenuse and the side opposite the 30 angle

Answer 5

it says the hypotenuse= 1/2 (short leg aka the leg opposite the 30 angle)

if this is true, what would the length of that side

Answer 6

doesn't it all add up to 180?

Answer 7

the two sides im trying to find are equal right?

Answer 8

no and no.
we are finding the side lengths here.
you're getting mixed up with angle measure which have to add up to 180 degrees

and the two sides cant be equal because the angel measures are different. its not an isoscles triangle either. all three angles have different measures. theres 30, 60 and 90

Answer 9

this might help in your problem

Answer 10

wait ur not asking for the angle your asking for the sides one of the sides is 7 right? SO I have to find the other two but how

Answer 11

oh yes. thats what you need in order to answer your question which is asking you to find the perimeter. and you were given all three angles of the triangle already

Answer 12

like i said
hint: the hypotenuse= 1/2 (shorter leg/side opposite the 30 angle)

Answer 13

is it 3.5?

Answer 14

correct.


and NOW you can use the pythagoreom theorem to find the last side, x.
