We can use the sine function and tangent function in order to solve for x and y:

\begin{gathered} sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\ sin(60)=\frac{15}{x} \\ x=\frac{15}{sin(60)} \\ x=10\sqrt{3} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\ tan(60)=\frac{15}{y} \\ y=\frac{15}{tan(60)} \\ y=5\sqrt{3} \end{gathered}

Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ration of 4:1
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Money Ivan gets   extra = 120 - 30 (or 3x) = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Ivan = 4x

Tanya = 1x

Total = 150

4x + x = 150

5x = 150 ;  x = 150 / 5 = 30

Ivan = 4x = 120

Tanya = 1x = 30

Money Ivan gets   extra = 120 - 30 (or 3x) = 90

Jenny and Mark are reading the same book for their English class.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny has read 50 pages and will read 15 each day.

The equation would be: 15x+50

Mark will read 20 pages daily.

The equation would be: 20x

In both equations x represents days.

You set both equal to each other because you want to know when they read the same amount of pages.

15x+50=20x

...you subtract 15x from both sides

50=5x

...and divide by five to get: 10 days

Given that the sec A = 13/5 and A is in QIV, determine exact value for the sin A.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The exact value of sin A is opp/hyp = -12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

If A is in Quadrant IV then the "opposite side" is negative and the "adjacent side" is positive.  Since sec A = hyp / adj = 13 / 5 and since opp^2 + adj^2 must add up to hyp^2,   Therefore y = √(hyp^2 - adj^2), or

y = -√(13^2 - 25) = -√144 = 12.

The exact value of sin A is opp/hyp = -12/13

The cost of 3 notebooks and 2 pens is $10.45. The cost of 4 notebooks and 6 pens is $17.60.
loris [4]

Answer:

Notebooks cost $2.75 and pens cost $1.10.

He can also buy 3 notebooks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to create two equations given each of the situations.

3n + 2p = 10.45

4n + 6p = 17.60

Now to solve for n, multiply the top equation by -3 and add together.

-9n - 6p = -31.35

4n + 6p = 17.60

----------------------

-5n = -13.75

n = 2.75

Now that we have the value of notebooks, we can find the amount for pens using either equation.

3n + 2p = 10.45

3(2.75) + 2p = 10.45

8.25 + 2p = 10.45

2p = 2.20

p = 1.10

Finally, to find the number of notebooks that he can purchase, find the cost of a notebook with 3 pens.

n + 3p

2.75 + 3(1.10)

2.75 + 3.30

6.05

Now divide 22 by that number

22/6.05 = 3.63

Since we can't have fractional notebooks, we round down to 3.
