Find the length of AC. Use that length to find the length of CD. What is the length of CD? Round to the nearest tenth.

A) 2.3 cm
B) 4.0 cm
C) 10.7 cm
D) 18.6 cm

Find the length of AC Use that length to find the length of CD What is the length of CD Round to the nearest tenth A 23 cm B 40 cm C 107 cm D 186 cm class=

Respuesta :

length of AC = 10 * sin(30) = 5 cm

Length of CD = 5 /tan(25) = 10.7cm

 answer is C

Answer

Find out the what is the length of CD , AC .

To prove

By using the trignometric identity

[tex]sin B = \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

As in ΔABC

∠ B = 30° , AB= 10 cm

put in the trignometric identity

[tex]sin 30^{\circ} = \frac{AC}{10}[/tex]

As

[tex]sin30^{\circ} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{AC}{10}[/tex]

[tex]AC = \frac{10}{2}[/tex]

AC = 5cm

Now in the ΔADC

[tex]tan D^{\circ} = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]

∠ D = 25° , AC = Perpendicular = 5 cm

[tex]tan 25^{\circ} = \frac{5}{CD}[/tex]

tan 25 ° =  0.46630765815 (approx)

[tex]CD = \frac{5}{0.46630765815}[/tex]

CD = 10 .7cm ( approx )

Option (C) is correct .
