Step-by-step explanation:

you are "hiding" some more information (like how much they made together).

without that we cannot calculate the actual values.

all I can do is set up the equations expressing the given relations between the parts of the total :

a = amount Alberto made

b = amount Benjamin made

c = amount Carlota made

b = 3×a

c = 2×b = 2× 3×a = 6×a

that's it.

your see ? now we need something that "ties" all 3 together, an equation of all 3 variables, where we can use the first 2 equations (by substitution) and then solve for the remaining third variable.

and that is missing.

if it is something like "together they made x", then we would have

a + b + c = x

a + 3a + 6a = x

10a = x

a = x/10

b and c we get then from the first 2 equations by simply using the calculated value of a :

b = 3×(x/10) = 3x/10

c = 6×(x/10) = 6x/10 = 3x/5

What is the length of BC? Round to the nearest tenth.
Kay [80]

Answer:

BC ≈ 14.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin65° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{BC}{16} ( multiply both sides by 16 )

16 × sin65° = BC , then

BC ≈ 14.5 cm ( to the nearest tenth )
