Refer to the diagram shown below.

Given:
m∠A = 19°
c = 15

By definition,
sin A = a/c
Therefore
a = c*sin A = 15*sin(19°) = 4.8835

cos A = b/c
Therefore
b = c*cos A = 15*cos(19°) =14.1828

Answer:
The lengths are 4.88, 14.18, and 15.00 (nearest hundredth)

Suppose 2 eggs with bacon cost 2.70 . One egg with bacon costs 1.80 . At thesebrates what will bacon alone cost

Leno4ka [110]

If 2 eggs with bacon cost 2.70, and 1 egg with bacon costs 1.80, that means that 1 egg costs 0.90, so when we subtract once more 0.90 we get the price of the bacon alone, which is in this case 0.90.

Answer:

the answer is 45 over 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A shortcut is "2 x _____ is 6", which is 3.

Multiply 15 by 3 also, to get 45,

Using the given information, give the vertex form equation for each parabola.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot this point and the directrix on a coordinate plane, you can see that the directrix is 1/4 of a unit below the vertex. Since, by nature, a parabola opens in the direction opposite the directrix and "hugs" the focus, this is a positive x-squared parabola (meaning it opens upwards). The formula for this type of a parabola is, in vertex form,

$4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2$

where p is distance (in units) between the vertex and the directrix and h and k are the coordinates of the vertex. For us, p = .25, h = 7, and k = -6. Filling in our formula:

$4(.25)(y+6)=(x-7)^2$

Simplify the left side to

$1(y+6)=(x-7)^2$ which simplifies, in its entirety, to

$(x-7)^2-6=y$

PLEASE HELP ME!!! find the coordinates of the circumcenter of ABC. A(0,5), B(-4,5), C(-4,-3)

blondinia [14]

If you sketch the triangle you will see it is a right triangle with B being the vertex for the right angle. the orthocenter is the intercept of the three altitudes. for a right triangle, the orthocenter is the vertex where the right angle is.so the answer for this question is (-4,5)
