Question

Can someone please help me with this

Answer 1

Hope you understand :)

Answer 2

DF = 3.0

<E = 31°

<F = 59°

Explanation:

1. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find side DF.

a² + b² = c²

5² + b² = 5.83²

25 + b² = 33.9889

b² = 8.9889

b = √8.9889

b = 2.998149429

b = 3.0

Side DF is equal to 3.0.

2. Use SOHCAHTOA to find the measure of <E. We know two sides: adjacent (5) and hypotenuse (5.83). So, we will use cosine.

Cosine =
`(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(5)/(5.83)` = 0.8576329331

Take the inverse cosine to find <E in degrees.

cos⁻¹ (0.8576329331) = 30.95 = 31°

<E is equal to 31°.

3. Add the two angles and subtract from 180° or use SOHCAHTOA to find the measure of <F.

90° + 31° + x = 180°

121° + x = 180°

x = 59°

or

We know two sides: adjacent (3.0) and hypotenuse (5.83). So, we will use cosine.

Cosine =
`(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(3.0)/(5.83)` = 0.5145797599

Take the inverse cosine.

cos⁻¹(0.5145797599) = 59.03063031 = 59°

<F is equal to 59°.

Hope that helps. :)
