Answer:

He has 30 penguins and 10 cats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

C = number of cats.

P = number of penguins.

We know that he has a total of 40 pets, then:

C + P = 40

We also know that the total heads (40 heads, each animal has one) plus the number of wings (P*2, each penguin has 2) is equal to the number of feet of his pets (4*C + 2*P, because each cat has 4 paws, and each penguin has 2)

Then we have the equation:

40 + 2*P = 4*C + 2*P

Notice that in the second equation we have the term 2*P in both sides of the equation, then we can just subtract 2*P in both sides to get:

(40 + 2*P) - 2*P = 4*C + 2*P - 2*P

40 = 4*C

Now with this, we can find the value of C.

40/4 = C = 10

Then he has 10 cats.

Now we can replace this in the equation:

P + C = 40

to find the value of P

P + 10 = 40

P = 40 - 10 = 30

P = 30

He has 30 penguins.

Find the values of x and y. Pls helpI’m helpless at math

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

x = 1

$y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right-angle triangle

The angle = ∠60°

The adjacent to the angle ∠60° is 1/2.

The opposite to the angle ∠60° is y.

The hypotenuse = x

Determining the value of x:

Using the trigonometric ratio

cos 60° = adjacent / hypotenuse

substituting adjacent = 1/2 and hypotenuse = x

$cos\:60^{\circ }=\:\:\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{x}$

$\cos \left(60^{\circ \:}\right)=\frac{1}{2x}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2x}$ ∵ cos (60°) = 1/2

$2x=2$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{2}{2}$

Simplify

$x=1$

Thus, the value of hypotenuse x is:

x = 1

Determining the value of y:

Using the trigonometric ratio

sin 60° = opposite / hypotenuse

As we have already determined the value of hypotenuse x = 1

substituting opposite = y and hypotenuse = 1

sin 60° = y/1

y = 1 × sin 60°

$y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ ∵ $\sin \left(60^{\circ \:}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Therefore, the value of y is:

$y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Summary:

x = 1

$y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
