OpenStudy (matthew120):

thats a 90 right

OpenStudy (gallanth):

yes

OpenStudy (matthew120):

4/5

OpenStudy (matthew120):

those are 1 of the answers right ?

OpenStudy (gallanth):

yes it was. thank you!!!!

OpenStudy (matthew120):

np

OpenStudy (matthew120):

is that it ? ?

OpenStudy (gallanth):

i have more i may ask

Find the measure of angle D. Round to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Use Pythagorean theorem to calculate HF, |dw:1478985964267:dw| \(x^2=sqrt(sqrt(8)^2+sqrt(8)^2)=8+8=16\) so x=4. Again use Pythagorean theorem to calculate y \(y^2=sqrt(3^2+x^2)=sqrt(3^2+4^2)=sqrt(25)=5\) BUT \(cos \angle FEH =adjacent/hypotenuse = 3/y=? \) (answer is NOT 4/5).

OpenStudy (gallanth):

whats the answer then

OpenStudy (gallanth):

my choices are A. 3/4 B. 4/5 C. Square root of 8/3 D. 4/3

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Enough hint for the first problem. You will find the answer if you had taken the time to read what I wrote. Hint for the second problem (which you should have made a new post). use the rule of cosines.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Sorry, my bad. The first problem was for cosine of angle FHE, so 4/5 is correct.
