Find the distance from point B to point C.

Mathematics
1 answer:

6 0

Using relations in a right triangle, it is found that the distance from point B to point C is of 3.75 miles.

<h3>What is the missing information?</h3>

The right triangle is missing, which shows that:

  • The side adjacent to the angle of 58º is of 6 mi.
  • The side opposite to the angle of 58º is of BC.

Hence, we can apply the relations in the right triangle given to find the length of side BC, which is the distance from point B to point C.

<h3>What are the relations in a right triangle?</h3>

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

  • The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

Hence:

tan(58º) = 6/BC

BC = 6/tan(58º)

BC = 3.75 miles.

The distance from point B to point C is of 3.75 miles.

<h3><u>The system of linear equations that represents the situation is:</u></h3>

a + b = 28

16a + 10b = 400

<h3><u>20 scented candles and 8 unscented candles were sold</u></h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the number of scented candles sold

Let "b" be the number of unscented candles sold

From given,

Cost of 1 scented candles = $ 16

Cost of 1 unscented candles = $ 10

<em><u>The shop sells 28 candles today</u></em>

Therefore,

a + b = 28

b = 28 - a ------- eqn 1

<em><u>The shop sells 28 candles today and makes $400</u></em>

Therefore,

number of scented candles sold x Cost of 1 scented candle + number of unscented candles sold x Cost of 1 unscented candles = 400

a \times 16 + b \times 10 = 400

16a + 10b = 400 ------ eqn 2

<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>

16a + 10(28 - a) = 400

16a + 280 - 10a = 400

6a = 400 - 280

6a = 120

a = 20

<em><u>Substitute a = 20 in eqn 1</u></em>

b = 28 - 20

b = 8

Thus 20 scented candles and 8 unscented candles were sold

Evaluate the following expression. (8 ^1 ) 0<br><br> A) 0<br> B) 1<br> C) 8
Mice21 [21]
Given that the equation looks like: (8^1)0

This means that our first step is to do what is in Parenthesis. 8^1 is = to 0

This means our equation now looks like:
(8)0

When you multiply anything by zero, it becomes zero.

This means your answer should be A.0

What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 3?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

the number on the bottom of the fraction (denominator) is equal to the total number of possibilities (in this case there are 6 possibilities). for the number on top (the numerator) we are trying to work out the probability of rolling a 3. a 3 is only 1 of the 6 options (1, 2, <u>3</u>, 4, 5, 6) so the number on top is 1.

I hope this was helpful :-)

Only two problems I don’t understand. Don’t just give me answer, explain too please.
marta [7]

Answer:

12. Option b: 20 is the correct answer.

13. Option a: A rose costs $1 more than a daisy is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

12. Given that:

15x+10y=700       Eqn 1

x+y=60      Eqn 2

To find x, we will eliminate y be multiplying Eqn 2 by 10

10(x+y=60)

10x+10y=600      Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(15x+10y)-(10x+10y)=700-600

15x+10y-10x-10y=100

5x=100

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{100}{5}\\x=20

Hence,

Option b: 20 is the correct answer.

13. Given that:

5x+4y=32     Eqn 1

x+6y=22       Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 5

5(x+6y=22)

5x+30y=110     Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3

(5x+30y)-(5x+4y)=110-32

5x+30y-5x+4y=78

26y=78

Dividing both sides by 26

\frac{26y}{26}=\frac{78}{26}\\y=3

Putting y=3 in Eqn 2

x+6(3)=22

x+18=22

x=22-18

x=4

Hence,

Option a: A rose costs $1 more than a daisy is the correct answer.
