Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the given angles from 180 for A

A = 180° - (90 + 46)° = 180° - 136° = 44°

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

tan46° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{b}{23}$

Multiply both sides by 23

23 × tan46° = b, thus

b ≈ 23.8 ( to the nearest tenth )

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

cos46° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{23}{c}$

Multiply both sides by c

c × cos46° = 23 ( divide both sides by cos46° )

c = $\frac{23}{cos46}$ ≈ 33.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

For logarithmic equations,

log

b ( x ) = y

logb(x)=y

is equivalent to b y = x

by=x

such that x > 0

x>0 , b > 0

b>0 , and b ≠ 1

b≠1

.In this case, b = 5

b=5 , x = 25

x=25 , and y 2

y=2 .

b = 5

b=5

x =

x=25

y = 2

y=2

Substitute the values of b

b , x

x , and y

into the equation

b y =

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x

The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;

9(x + 3)

After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;

Hence, mathematically;

9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3

Multiply through be 2

9(x + 3) - 12x = 6

9x + 27 -12x = 6

9x -12x = 6-27

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Sebastian swan laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In that time, he swam 1800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?

Let us convert time taken into hours as:

$\text{Days}=5\times 12=60$
