7. \begin{align*}\underline{\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;} ^2 + d^2 = b^2\end{align*}
8. \begin{align*}\frac{?}{b} = \frac{b}{c}\end{align*}
9. \begin{align*}\frac{e}{?} = \frac{?}{c}\end{align*}
10. \begin{align*}\frac{d}{f} = \frac{f}{?}\end{align*}

Solve the following right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem, the trigonometric ratios, and the inverse trigonometric ratios. When possible, simplify the radical. If not, round all decimal answers to the nearest tenth.

Determine if the following lengths make an acute, right, or obtuse triangle. If they make a right triangle, determine if the lengths are a Pythagorean triple.

1. 11, 12, 13
2. 16, 30, 34
3. 20, 25, 42
4. \begin{align*}10 \sqrt{6}, 30, 10 \sqrt{15}\end{align*}
5. 22, 25, 31
6. 47, 27, 35

Find the value of \begin{align*}x\end{align*}.

1. The angle of elevation from the base of a mountain to its peak is \begin{align*}76^\circ\end{align*}. If its height is 2500 feet, what is the length to reach the top? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
2. Taylor is taking an aerial tour of San Francisco in a helicopter. He spots AT&T Park (baseball stadium) at a horizontal distance of 850 feet and down (vertical) 475 feet. What is the angle of depression from the helicopter to the park? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
