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

If ED = x + 4 and DB = 3x - 8, find ED, DB, and EB
Tom [10]

Answer:

Part 1) ED=10\ units

Part 2) DB=10\ units

Part 3) EB=20\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

EB=ED+DB

ED=DB -----> given problem

Substitute the given values and solve for x

x+4=3x-8

3x-x=4+8

2x=12

x=6

<em>Find the value of ED</em>

ED=x+4

substitute the value of x

ED=6+4=10\ units

<em>Find the value of DB</em>

Remember that

ED=DB

therefore

DB=10\ units

<em>Find the value of EB</em>

EB=ED+DB

EB=10+10=20\ units

The numbers of pages in the books in a library follow a normal distribution. If the mean number of pages is 180 and the standard
laiz [17]

Answer:

option B.

About 16% of the books have fewer than 150 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are dealing with a normal distribution

68.27% of the values will fall in the range with the standard deviation

(180-30 , 180+30) = (150, 210)

Approximately 15.86% of the values will be higher than 210

and the rest 15.86% will be lower than 150

So the correct answer is option B.

About 16% of the books have fewer than 150 pages

How do you show something declines by a percent%
baherus [9]
If a something with the value of $179,000 dollars decreased in value annually by 3% you would show this by setting a graph or depiction of the drop. You could do this with a line graph to show the slow decrease in value or a bar graph to show how the value is getting smaller
