X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000

x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000

The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²

To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).

Express the area of the triangle shown below in terms of b and θ only.
Paul [167]
Given a right triangle with base, b and height, h with the angle opposide side h as θ.

The area of a triangle is given by
A= \frac{1}{2} bh

But,
\tan\theta= \frac{h}{b}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow h=b\tan\theta

Therefore, the area of the triangle in terms of <span>b and θ only is given by
A= \frac{1}{2} b(b\tan\theta)= \frac{1}{2} b^2\tan\theta</span>

The tangent of an angle is 3.4. what is the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

To answer this question, you first need to know what SohCahToa is.

S- opposite over hypotenuse

C- adjacent over hypotenuse

T- opposite over adjacent

In this situation, they have made it easier for you as they have given you the quotient of the opposite and adjacent sides (3.4) . Now in order to find an angle, you take the inverse of your expression. So instead of just Tan, you would plug in Tan^-1. So plug it in:

Tan^-1 (3.4)

Answer is 73.6 degrees.

28xw+7wy-4kx-ky<br><br> Factor the polynomial completely<br><br> Thank you!
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

(7w - k)(4x + y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor by grouping is best for this expression. To factor by grouping, group pairs of terms with parenthesis. Then find the GCF in each pair. If the parenthesis match after, the factoring is complete.

28xw + 7wy - 4kx - ky

(28xw + 7wy) + (- 4kx - ky)

7w(4x + y) - k (4x + y)

The factors are (7w - k)(4x + y).
