Help me with this math question gr 8 math please

C = 112, A = 150, D = 30, B = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

I solved C first using:

30+38+c = 180 (angles along a straight line should add up to 180 since a whole circle is 360)

-

I solved A by looking across from C.

Angles on opposite sides should mirror each other but A includes 38* + C

Just by doing 112 + 38 you get 150.

-

I solved D by looking at 30*, alternative interior angles are the same so D is 30*.

-

I solved B by taking C (112) and D (30) and adding them together and subtracting from 180.

Interior angles of a triangle should all add up to 180,

112 + 30 + B = 180

From this I got that B was 38.

Alternatively you can find this out by looking at the 38 degrees, corresponding congruent angles are always the same.

I suggest reviewing this angles sheet if you're ever stuck in the future.

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).
