Given that
y
= 10 cm and
θ
= 55°, work out
x
rounded to 1 DP.

x=8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, figure out which trig function you are going to use.

In this problem you are dealing with the opposite side to the angle and the hypotenuse, and if you remember SOH CAH TOA, this requires sine.

sin (55) =opposite/hypotenuse

sin (55) =x/10

multiply both sides by 10 to get 10 * sin (55) = x

10 * sin (55) = 8.2

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°
