On a map the distance from Fort Collins to Cheyenne is 3.2 inches. The angle formed at Laramie has measure 43.6º, and the angle

formed at Fort Collins has measure 46.5º. If one inch on the map is equal to 10.6 miles, find the distance from Cheyenne to Laramie to the nearest whole mile

36 miles. Call <span>Fort Collins point F, Cheyenne, point C, and Laramie point L. We know that angle F=46.5 degrees, angle L=43.6 degrees, and FC=3.2 inches. </span>Use the law of sines, sinF/LC=sinL/FC,  LC=sin46.5*3.2/sin43.6=2.32/0.69=3.36 inches. Since one inch represents 10.6 miles, 3.36 inches is 36 miles, the distance from L to C.

Answer : Distance from Cheyenne to Laramie = 36 miles .

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Distance from Fort Collins to Cheyenne =3.2 inches

Angle formed at Laramie =43.6\textdegree

Angle formed at Fort Collins =46.5\textdegree

Since we have drawn our figure mentioning the cordinates as L,F, C where L represents Laramie, F represents Fort Collins and C represents Cheyenne

Now, we use the cosine- sine formula  which is given by

\frac{\sin(A)}{A}=\frac{\sin(B)}{B}

\frac{sin(43.6\textdegree)}{3.2}=\frac{sin (46.5\textdegree)}{x}\\\\\frac{0.689619543}{3.2}=\frac{0.725374371}{x}\\\\

\text{ By cross multiplication, we get}\\\\x=\frac{2.32}{0.69}\\\\x=3.36\text{ inches}

Now, we will change it into miles ,

\text{ So ,Distance from Cheyenne to Laramie }=3.36\times 10.6=35.616

But we want it in nearest whole mile ,

So, distance from Cheyenne to Laramie = 36 miles .

Using the digits 0 to 9 at most one Time each,fill in the boxes below to write equations whose solution is 1/2
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The equation is 4x + 5 = 2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is \frac{1}{2} means x = \frac{1}{2}

Let us put the coefficient of x in the left hand side = 4 and the coefficient of x in the right hand side = 2

∵ 4x - 2x = 2x

Now we need two numerical terms their difference is 1 like 5 and 6 or 6 and 7 or 7 and 8 or 8 and 9

Let us take 5 and 6

∵ 4x + 5 = 2x + 6

- Subtract 2x from both sides

∴ 2x + 5 = 6

- Subtract 5 from both sides

∴ 2x = 1

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = \frac{1}{2}

∴ The solution is  \frac{1}{2}

The equation is 4x + 5 = 2x + 6

17 - 2n = 9 what’s the answer ?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

17−2n=9

17+−2n=9

−2n+17=9

Step 2: Subtract 17 from both sides.

−2n+17−17=9−17

−2n=−8

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2n−2=−8−2

n=4

A pendant is formed using a cylinder and cone. Once assembled, as shown below, the pendant is painted. How many square millimete
solmaris [256]
Surface area of cylinder is given by area of circle + area of the rectangle that curved around the cylinder

Area of the base of the cylinder = \pi r^{2} = 8^{2} \pi =64 \pi
Area of the cylinder 'wall' = width × length = 12×2r \pi=12×16 \pi=192 \pi

Note that the wall of the cylinder is in the shape of a rectangle. The width of the rectangle is the height of the cylinder. The length of the rectangle is the circumference of the circle base.

Surface area of cone is given by \pirl where l is the slanted height of the cone

SA of cone = \pi (8)(10)=80 \pi

Hence total painted surface area is 80 \pi +192 \pi +64 \pi =336 \pi
