In math class, James, Hadley, and Gwen were challenged to go stand on the field in a random location and find the distance betwe

en themselves using only one length. They were also each given a protractor to find the angle between each other. Using this diagram, solve for the missing side lengths of the triangle. Round to the nearest hundredth. A triangle where James, Hadley, and Gwen are labelled on the vertices. The angle of James is 61 degrees, Hadley is 73 degrees, and Gwen is 46 degrees. The one length that is labelled is between James and Hadley and measures at 15 meters. Gwen to Hadley is what? Gwen to James is what?

The interior angles of the triangle of 61°, 73°, and 46°, and the distance from James to Hadley of 15 meters gives;

  • Gwen to Hadley ≈ 18.24 meters

  • Gwen to James ≈ 19.94 meters

<h3>How can the distances between the students be found?</h3>

The given angles are;

At James's location; 61°

At Hadley's location; 73°

At Gwen's location; 46°

The distance between James and Hadley = 15 meters

The angle facing the distance between James and Hadley is the angle at Gwen, 46°

The angle facing the distance between Gwen and James is the angle at Hadley, 73°

The angle facing the distance between Gwen and Hadley is the angle at James, 61°

The angle that faces the 15 meter length is the angle at Gwen, which is 46°

By the rule of sines, the distance from Gwen to Hadley is therefore;

\frac{15}{sin( 46 ^  \circ)}  =  \frac{Gwen  \: to \:  Hadley}{sin( 61 ^  \circ)}

Which gives;

Gwen  \: to \:  Hadley= \frac{15 \times sin( 61 ^  \circ) }{sin( 46 ^  \circ)} \approx 18.24

  • Gwen to Hadley ≈ 18.24 meters

Similarly, we have;

\frac{15}{sin( 46 ^  \circ}  =  \frac{Gwen  \: to \:  James}{sin( 73 ^  \circ)}

Therefore;

Gwen  \: to \:  James = \frac{15 \times sin( 73 ^  \circ) }{sin(46 ^  \circ)}  \approx 19.94

  • Gwen to James ≈ 19.94 meters

25. Save the simultaneous equations 2x-y=4;x+y=5​
Helen [10]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 4

x + y = 5

y = 5 - x

2x - (5 - x) = 4

2x + x - 5 = 4

3x = 9

x = 3

You're at a clothing store that dyes your clothes while you wait. You get to pick from 444 pieces of clothing (shirt, pants, soc
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 clothing choices and 3 colors.

4x3=12

This means you have a 1 in 12 chance of getting an orange hat.

This presupposes that there are EQUAL numbers of pieces and colors.  (111 of each).

What's the answer to this math problem
GarryVolchara [31]
Total number of marbles:
75 + 50 + 100 + 25 = 250

Probability of selecting a red marble:
25/250 (since 25 out of 250 marbles are red)
Since the top and bottom of this fraction are both divisible by 25, we can go ahead and divide them both by 25, simplifying to 1/10.

Probability of selecting a green marble:
50/250
Simplifies to 2/10
Simplifies to 1/5.

Probability of selecting a blue or orange marble
(75+100)/250
175/250
Simplifies to 7/10.

To find the probability that each event occurs in order, simply multiply them all together.

\frac{1}{10}\times\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{7}{10}=\frac{1\times1\times7}{10\times5\times10}=\boxed{\frac{7}{500}}
