Salinas will use 32 gallons for 480 miles

<h3>How to calculate the number of gallons required ? </h3>

Salinas used 15.6 gallons of gas for 234 miles

Miles can be described as the distance travelled by an object or an individual

The first step is to calculate the number of miles travelled using 1 gallon

15.6= 234

1= x

cross multiply both sides

15.6x= 234

x= 234/15.6

x= 15

1 gallon will take her 15 miles

Therefore, the number of gallons required for 480 miles can be calculated as follows

1= 15

x= 480

cross multiply both sides

15x= 480

x= 480/15

x= 32

Hence Salinas will require 32 gallons for 480 miles of the journey

A customer wants to tile their sunroom using 12" x24" tile which comes 9 pieces to a box the room is 8' by 9'6" calculate how ma

AysviL [449]

The number of pieces The customer will need actually is 38 tiles

The number of tiles in boxes the customer will buy is 45 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem we will do these steps

1. Change the dimensions of the room from feet to inches

2. Calculate the area of the room

3. Calculate the area of one tile

4. Divide the area of the room by the area of the tile to find the number

of tills

5. Divide the number of tiles by the number of pieces in one box

to find the number of boxes he will need to buy

∵ The dimensions of the room are 8 feet by 9 feet 6 inches

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 8 feet = 8 × 12 = 96 inches

∴ 9 feet 6 inches = 9 × 12 + 6 = 108 + 6 = 114 inches

∴ The dimensions of the sun room are 96" by 114"

The area of a rectangle is length × width

∵ Area of the room = 96 × 114 = 10944 inches²

∵ The dimensions of a tile are 12" by 24"

∴ Area of a tile = 12 × 24 = 288 inches²

∵ The number of tiles = Area room ÷ area tile

∴ The number of tiles = 10944 ÷ 288 = 38 tiles

<em>The number of pieces The customer will need is 38 tiles</em>

The tiles come in boxes each box contains 9 pieces

∵ 38 ÷ 9 = 4.22

∴ He will need to buy 5 boxes with 45 tiles

<em>The number of tiles in boxes is 45 tiles</em>

1. Consider the right triangle ABC given below.

lbvjy [14]

#1)
A) b = 10.57
B) a = 22.66; the different methods are shown below.
#2)
A) Let a = the side opposite the 15° angle; a = 1.35.
Let B = the angle opposite the side marked 4; m∠B = 50.07°.
Let C = the angle opposite the side marked 3; m∠C = 114.93°.
B) b = 10.77
m∠A = 83°
a = 15.11

Explanation
#1)
A) We know that the sine ratio is opposite/hypotenuse. The side opposite the 25° angle is b, and the hypotenuse is 25:
sin 25 = b/25

Multiply both sides by 25:
25*sin 25 = (b/25)*25
25*sin 25 = b
10.57 = b

B) The first way we can find a is using the Pythagorean theorem. In Part A above, we found the length of b, the other leg of the triangle, and we know the measure of the hypotenuse:
a²+(10.57)² = 25²
a²+111.7249 = 625

Subtract 111.7249 from both sides:
a²+111.7249 - 111.7249 = 625 - 111.7249
a² = 513.2751

Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √513.2751
a = 22.66

The second way is using the cosine ratio, adjacent/hypotenuse. Side a is adjacent to the 25° angle, and the hypotenuse is 25:
cos 25 = a/25

Multiply both sides by 25:
25*cos 25 = (a/25)*25
25*cos 25 = a
22.66 = a

The third way is using the other angle. First, find the measure of angle A by subtracting the other two angles from 180:
m∠A = 180-(90+25) = 180-115 = 65°

Side a is opposite ∠A; opposite/hypotenuse is the sine ratio:
a/25 = sin 65

Multiply both sides by 25:
(a/25)*25 = 25*sin 65
a = 25*sin 65
a = 22.66

#2)
A) Let side a be the one across from the 15° angle. This would make the 15° angle ∠A. We will define b as the side marked 4 and c as the side marked 3. We will use the law of cosines:
a² = b²+c²-2bc cos A
a² = 4²+3²-2(4)(3)cos 15
a² = 16+9-24cos 15
a² = 25-24cos 15
a² = 1.82

Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √1.82
a = 1.35

Use the law of sines to find m∠B:
sin A/a = sin B/b
sin 15/1.35 = sin B/4

Cross multiply:
4*sin 15 = 1.35*sin B

Divide both sides by 1.35:
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = (1.35*sin B)/1.35
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = sin B

Take the inverse sine of both sides:
sin⁻¹((4*sin 15)/1.35) = sin⁻¹(sin B)
50.07 = B

Subtract both known angles from 180 to find m∠C:
180-(15+50.07) = 180-65.07 = 114.93°

B) Use the law of sines to find side b:
sin C/c = sin B/b
sin 52/12 = sin 45/b

Cross multiply:
b*sin 52 = 12*sin 45

Divide both sides by sin 52:
(b*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 45)/(sin 52)
b = 10.77

Find m∠A by subtracting both known angles from 180:
180-(52+45) = 180-97 = 83°

Use the law of sines to find side a:
sin C/c = sin A/a
sin 52/12 = sin 83/a

Cross multiply:
a*sin 52 = 12*sin 83

Divide both sides by sin 52:
(a*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 83)/(sin 52)
a = 15.11

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Greater than 21

Less than 45

Step-by-step explanation:

You add and subtract the two numbers you are given.

33 - 12 = 21

The third side has to be bigger than 21.

33 + 12 = 45

The third side has to be less than 45.

It can be written in one math sentence:

21 < x < 45
