Lesson 7.2.

 7-82. See solution flowcharts. Note that these problems have many different logical approaches.  For example, the
auxiliary line chosen for part (a) below could have instead been drawn perpendicular to AC.  Sample solutions to
problem 7-82 are given below:

a.

b.
 c.

 7-83. 36  ≈ 62.4 square units

 7-84. No; using the Pythagorean Theorem and the Law of Cosines, the perimeter of the triangle is ≈ 26.3 feet.
 7-85. 
a. x ≈ 10.73 cm, tangent
b. x ≈ 7.86 mi, Law of Sines
c. x ≈ 15.3', Law of Cosines

 7-86. See below:
a. Congruent (SAS ≅) and x = 2
b. Congruent (HL ≅) and x  = 32

7-87. A = 24 square units

 7-88. 

a.  = 

b. ; Since the sum of the probabilities of finding the ring and not finding the ring is 1, you can subtract 1 –   =  .

c. No, his probability is still   =   because the ratio of the shaded region to the whole sandbox is unchanged. 

 7-89. a50 = –130
