PLEASE PLEASE HELP I DIDNT PAY ATTENTION AND I HAVE TO DO THIS SOS Matthew had to make a bridge for his math class. It had to be at least 1 feet long. Harold made a bridge that was
2 times as long as Matthew's. Write and solve an equation that will help you figure out how long Harold's bridge
was. Explain the steps you took to solve the problem.

answer: sine

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

a. 32 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

here we have to use the rule.

m∠e = 1/2 (major arc - minor arc)

m∠e = 1/2 (212 - 148)

m∠e = 1/2 (64)

m∠e = 32 degrees

answer: a. 32 degrees
