sketch the situation

a trigonometric function that is a relation between the angle of elevation and the 2 sides of the rectangles is the tan

\tan \theta=\frac{opp}{adj}\tan \theta=\frac{20}{30}=\frac{2}{3}

find the inverse

\begin{gathered} \tan ^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})=\theta \\ \theta=33.69º \end{gathered}

after rounding the angle of elevation is 34º.

If a translation maps ∠D onto ∠B, which of the following statements is true? triangle CAB, point E is on segment AC between poin
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct option is;

ΔCED ~ ΔCAB

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the translation maps angle ∠D to angle ∠B, we have;

Angle ∠D is congruent to ∠B (Given)

Segment ED is parallel to segment AB (lines having similar angles to a common transversal)

Therefore, ∠A is congruent to ∠E, (Angle on the same side of a transversal to two parallel lines)

∠C is congruent to ∠C reflexive property

Therefore, we have;

∠C ≅ ∠C

∠E ≅ ∠A  

∠D ≅ ∠B

Which gives ΔCED is similar to ΔCAB (not ΔCBA)

When Cullen cleaned behind his dresser, he found 73 cents, all in nickels and pennies. There were 25 coins. How many were nickel
Georgia [21]
Let n = number of nickels, and p = number of pennies.
The number of coins is 25, so we get this equation.
n + p = 25

The value of the coins is 0.05 per nickel, and 0.01 per penny.
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Now you have a system of equations.

n + p = 25
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Solve the first equation for n:
n = 25 - p

Now substitute into the second equation.

0.05(25 - p) + 0.01p = 0.73

1.25 - 0.05p + 0.01p = 0.73

-0.04p = -0.52

p = 13

There were 13 pennies.
Now we substitute 13 for p in n + p = 25 to find out the number of nickels.

n + 13 = 25
n = 12

There are 13 pennies and 12 nickels.

Check: 13 pennies and 12 nickels does total 25 coins.
13 * 0.01 + 12 * 0.05 = 0.13 + 0.60 = 0.73
The value is $0.73.
Our answer is correct.

Please work out and explain​
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

a = 22

b = 31

c = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum is the same in each row, column, and diagonal.

One of the diagonals is already complete.  The sum is:

16 + 25 + 34 = 75

So the first row adds up to 75:

a + 37 + 16 = 75

a = 22

The second row adds up to 75:

19 + 25 + b = 75

b = 31

And the third row adds up to 75:

34 + c + 28 = 75

c = 13

We can check our answer by finding the sum of each column and the other diagonal.

22 + 19 + 34 = 75

37 + 25 + 13 = 75

16 + 31 + 28 = 75

22 + 25 + 28 = 75
