The student should have phrased it to be "the difference between the product of 5 and y and 15", as the way the student writes it implies that 5y is being subtracted from 15 instead of the other way around.
do you want us to add, subtract, multiply, divide...what..?
Answer:
is there suppose to be an image??
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, just to avoid being snookered by a trick question, we should verify that these are really right triangles:
7² + 24² really is 25² , and 8² + 15² really is 17² , so we're OK there.
In the first one:
sin(one acute angle) = 7/25 = 0.28
the angle = sin⁻¹ (0.28) = 16.26°
the other acute angle = (90° - 16.26°) = 73.74°
In the second one:
sin(one acute angle) = 8/17 = 0.4706...
the angle = sin⁻¹ (0.4706...) = 28.07°
the other acute angle = (90° - 28.07°) = 61.93°
I'm sorry, but just now, I don't know how to do the
third triangle in the question.
