Answer:

280

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a ratio to solve.

Mr. Fraser's class has 20 soccer playing students, and 14 are boys.

14/20 = x/400

Cross multiply. 20x= 5600

Divide by 20 to solve

x= 280

Amanda [17]

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.

7x+6y=21

x-int: y=0
7x+6(0)=21
7x=21
x=3

y-int: x=0
7(0)+6y=21
6y=21
y=21/6 or 7/2

Comparing decimals 0.49 to 0.94 is that equal ? or 0.94 more..?

ddd [48]

the simple fact that 94 is 49 backwards means nothing, anymore than say 001 and 100 are equal quantities or related other than in the digits.

so, 0.49 or 49/100 and 0.94 or 94/100, are two values, both are at the one hundredth level, so to see who is larger, we can nevermind the 100 and look at the numerator, 94 is clearly much larger than 49.

A 20 ft flag pole casts a shadow 32 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

<em>The angle of elevation of the sun is 32°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles</u>

The flagpole and the ground form a right angle (90°). In triangles with right angles, the trigonometric ratios are satisfied.

Each acute angle has an adjacent leg and an opposite leg. The tangent ratio relates to both legs.

$\displaystyle \tan x=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}$

The opposite leg to angle x is 20 ft and the adjacent leg is 32 ft, thus:

$\displaystyle \tan x=\frac{20}{32}=0.625$

Calculate x by using the inverse tangent:

$x=\arctan 0.625$

$x=32^\circ$

The angle of elevation of the sun is 32°
