Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment addition theorem tells us the whole is the sum of the parts. We can use this to write an equation relating the expressions for segment length.
<h3>Setup</h3>
OQ = OP +PQ . . . . . segment addition theorem
4x +2 = (3x -3) +(4x -10) . . . . substitute given expressions
<h3>Solution</h3>
15 = 3x . . . . . . add 13 -4x to both sides
5 = x . . . . . . . divide by 3
OQ = 4x +2 = 4(5) +2 = 22
The length of OQ is 22 units.
.87 is correct you can always check your work with an online calculator. :)
Answer:
<h3>240.72 miles</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
First, in the picture we have a drawing of this exercise. In this case, I will call A to the western station, and B the eastern station.
According to this, we have a triangle there, and we need to calculate the distance between C and A (Distance AC). This is the diagonal of that triangle. We only have the length of side AB which is 117 miles, and now, to get the side AC we need to use the sin law.
First, let's calculate the angle in B:
<ABC = 15 + 90 = 105°
This is the angle of that side of the triangle.
The angle in A:
<CAB = 90 - 43 = 47°
The angle in C:
<ACB = 180 - 47 - 105 = 28°
We have the three angles now.
Now the sin law is:
Sin< = opossite leg / hypotenuse
hypotenuse = opposite leg / sin<
Equaling both we have:
hypotenuse = AB / sin<ACB = AC/sin<ABC
AC = AB sin<ABC / sin<ACB
Solving for AC we have:
AC = 117sin105 / sin28
AC = 240.72 miles
<u>1/2(x-4) = 4</u>
Multiply each side of the equation by 2 : (x- 4) = 8
Add 4 to each side of the equation: <em>x = 12</em>
Answer:
adults = 40
children = 68
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the children=c
Let the adults = a
<em><u>Equations</u></em>
a + c = 108 (1)
3.75a + 1.5c = 252 (2)
Multiply (1) by 1.5
1.5a + 1.5c = 162 (3)
Subtract (3) from (2)
3.75a + 1.5c = 252
1.5 a + 1.5c = <u>162</u> Subtract
2.25a = 90 Divide by 2.25
a = 90/2.25
a = 40
<em><u>Find the number of children</u></em>
a + c = 108
40 + c = 108
c = 108 - 40
c = 68
<em><u>Check</u></em>
LHS
3.75 * 40 + 1.50 * 68
150 + 102
252 Which checks with the right hand side.
