Find the missing side length using the trig. Round your answer to nearest.

A. X=14.6
B. x=12.2
C. X=15.9
D. X=22.6

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin40° = =

Multiply both sides by 19

19 × sin40° = x , thus

x ≈ 12.2 → B

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
