In △EKL, m∠K = 90º, m∠E = 25º, EK = 3 cm, KH - altitude. Find EH.

EH = 3.31

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a right angle triangle EKL. As KH has been given as the altitude (perpendicular) of the right angled triangle, and K is the right angle, we can say that EK is tthe base of the triangle and EH is the only side lleft, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Where,

EK = Base = 3

KH = perpendicular altitude

EH = Hypotenuse

m<K = 90

m<E = 25

We know that

cosθ = Base/ Hypotenuse

cos 25 = 3/ EH

EH = 3/cos25

EH = 3.31

Perpendicular alitutude can also be calculated by using the formula for tanθ.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

faster, im not sure why but i know it is faster
