A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0.25 foot over 2 hours. After the leak is fixed, the height of th

e water is 4.75 feet. The equation 4.75 = x + (negative 0.25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool.

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The original height of the water in the pool in feet is 5.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given the equation, 4.75 = x + (-0.25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool. Therefore, the height of the fool in the beginning is,

4.75 = x + (-0.25)

4.75 + 0.25 = x

x = 5

Hence, the original height of the water in the pool in feet is 5.

polet [3.4K]

The first car consumed 25 gallons of fuel while the second car consumed 30 gallons of fuel.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the first car consumption and y represent the second car consumption, hence:

x + y = 55   (1)

Also:

15x + 20y = 975   (2)

From both equations:

x = 25, y = 30

The first car consumed 25 gallons of fuel while the second car consumed 30 gallons of fuel.

Amber works as a waitress at a restaurant. She earns an hourly wage and also earns tips. One night, she worked 6 hours and earne
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Hey there!

The given equation helps us understand the relationship between Amber's tips earned and the money she earned through her hourly wage. This information will add up to equal a grand total of $69.20.

We know that Amber earns $15.50 in tips during her 6 hour shift. Therefore, this is not considered part of her wage. This would be one of the constants of our equation.

We also know that Amber earns a fixed hourly wage, but we don't know what this wage is. We need to find w.

6w+15.5=\$69.20

Subtract 15.5 from both sides of the equation (and get rid of the currency symbol).

6w=69.20-15.5\\6w=53.7

Divide both sides of the equation by 6.

\displaystyle \frac{6w}{6}=\frac{53.7}{6}\\\\w=8.95

Therefore, Amber's hourly wage is $8.95.

Verify sine law by taking triangle in 4 quadrant<br>Explain with figure.<br>​
Ksivusya [100]

Proof of the Law of Sines

The Law of Sines states that for any triangle ABC, with sides a,b,c (see below)

a

 sin  A

=

b

 sin  B

=

c

 sin  C

For more see Law of Sines.

Acute triangles

Draw the altitude h from the vertex A of the triangle

From the definition of the sine function

 sin  B =

h

c

    a n d        sin  C =

h

b

or

h = c  sin  B     a n d       h = b  sin  C

Since they are both equal to h

c  sin  B = b  sin  C

Dividing through by sinB and then sinC

c

 sin  C

=

b

 sin  B

Repeat the above, this time with the altitude drawn from point B

Using a similar method it can be shown that in this case

c

 sin  C

=

a

 sin  A

Combining (4) and (5) :

a

 sin  A

=

b

 sin  B

=

c

 sin  C

- Q.E.D

Obtuse Triangles

The proof above requires that we draw two altitudes of the triangle. In the case of obtuse triangles, two of the altitudes are outside the triangle, so we need a slightly different proof. It uses one interior altitude as above, but also one exterior altitude.

First the interior altitude. This is the same as the proof for acute triangles above.

Draw the altitude h from the vertex A of the triangle

 sin  B =

h

c

      a n d          sin  C =

h

b

or

h = c  sin  B       a n d         h = b  sin  C

Since they are both equal to h

c  sin  B = b  sin  C

Dividing through by sinB and then sinC

c

 sin  C

=

b

 sin  B

Draw the second altitude h from B. This requires extending the side b:

The angles BAC and BAK are supplementary, so the sine of both are the same.

(see Supplementary angles trig identities)

Angle A is BAC, so

 sin  A =

h

c

or

h = c  sin  A

In the larger triangle CBK

 sin  C =

h

a

or

h = a  sin  C

From (6) and (7) since they are both equal to h

c  sin  A = a  sin  C

Dividing through by sinA then sinC:

a

 sin  A

=

c

 sin  C

Combining (4) and (9):

a

 sin  A

=

b

 sin  B

=

c

 sin  C
