Answer:

£216

Step-by-step explanation:

The total prize will be the sum of the divisions of the prize. The difference of those divisions is given.

<h3>divisions</h3>

Let P represent the value of the prize. The 1:11 ratio of the parts tells us there are 1 +11 = 12 total parts, and their ratio is P/12 : 11P/12. The sum of these divisions is the whole prize:

P/12 +11P/12 = 12P/12 = P

<h3>difference</h3>

The difference of the two divisions of the prize is ...

11P/12 -P/12 = £180

10P = £2160 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12 and simplify

P = £216 . . . . . . . . divide by 10

The total prize is £216.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The divisions of the prize are

£216/12 = £18 and 11×£18 = £198

The sum of those divisions is the total prize: £18 +198 = £216.

1:11 let’s say 1 = X
So: X:11X
11X - X = 10X = 180
X = 18 (180 : 10)
So total prize is: 18 X 11 = £198

Answer:

$x \approx 55.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, one must use the trigonometric ratios. These ratios are the following,

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)= \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Remember, each side is named relative to the angle, thus sides will attain different names depending on the angle which one sues to calculate with.

In this case, one is given the measure of the angle, and the measure of the side opposite to the angle. One is asked to find the measure of the side adjacent to the angle. Use the trigonometric ratio ( $tan$ ) to solve for the unknown. Substitute in the given values,
