- In ABC,mC=90 and mB=60. If AB=12 in., find the radius of the inscribed circle. Give the answer to the nearest tenth of an inch.arrow_forwardThe base of the ladder in the figure is 6 ft from the building, and the angle formed by the ladder and the ground is 73. How high up the building does the ladder touch?arrow_forwardDraw a triangle and, by construction, find its incenter.arrow_forward
- Find the size of A to the nearest second?arrow_forwardRefer to the following figure in answering Exercises 7 through 13. It may be helpful to sketch figures. When 1 is 0: a. What is the value of side y? b. How does side x compare to side r?arrow_forwardRefer to the drill jig shown. Determine 1.arrow_forward
- Given ABC as shown, provide a second correct method for naming this angle.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 29 to 34, use the Law of Sines or the Law of Cosines to solve each problem. Angle measures should be found to the nearest degree and areas and distances to the nearest tenth of a unit. A surveillance aircraft at point C sights an ammunition warehouse at A and enemy head-quarters at B through the angles indicated. If points A and B are 10, 000 m apart, what is the distance from the aircraft to enemy headquarters?arrow_forwardIn exercises 21 to 30. Use the drawings. Where provided, to solve each problem. Angle measures should be found to the nearest degree; lengths should be found to the nearest tenth of a unit. In the evening, a tree that stands 12 ft tall casts a shadow. If the angle of depression from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow is 55, what is the length of the shadow?arrow_forward
- In Exercises 21 to 30, use the drawings, where provided, to solve each problem, Angle measures should be found to the nearest degree; lengths should be found to the nearest tenth of a unit. The basket of a hot-air balloon is 300 ft high. The pilot of the balloon observes a stadium 2200 ft away. What is the measure of the angle of depression?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 39 to 45, angle measures should be given to the nearest degree; distance should be given to the nearest tenth of a unit. Kristine observes the top of a lookout tower from a point 270 ft from its base. If the indicated angle of elevation measures 37, how tall is the tower?arrow_forward
