Use a calculator to find the measure of

mRT = 4√13 ≈ 14.42

mST = 10√2 ≈ 14.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Since we have right triangles, in order to find the missing side, we use Pythagorean Theorem:

mTR:

12² + 8² = c²

144 + 64 = c²

c² = 208

c = √208 = 4√13

mST:

15² = 5² + b²

225 - 25 = b²

b² = 200

b = √200 = 10√2

To get your decimals, simply evaluate the square roots:

4√13 = 14.4222

10√2 = 14.1421

6. 56.3 degrees.

7. 70.5 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

6. We are given the opposite and adjacent side lengths, so we can use tangent to solve this (TOA = Tangent; Opposite over Adjacent).

tan(R) = 12 / 8

tan(R) = 3 / 2

R = cotan(3/2)

R = 56.309932474020213

So, the measure of angle R is about 56.3 degrees.

7. We are given the adjacent and the hypotenuse, so we can use cosine to solve this (CAH = Cosine; Adjacent over Hypotenuse).

cos(R) = 5 / 15

cos(R) = 1/3

R = sec(1/3)

R = 70.528779365509

So, the measure of angle R is about 70.5 degrees.

mixtures containing substances that get attracted to magnet can be separated using a magnet. we can separate iron from a mixture of sand and iron, as only iron attracts to the magnet.
