A surveyor, Toby, measures the distance between two landmarks and the point where he stands. He also measured the angles between

the landmarks in degrees.
What is the distance, x, between the two landmarks? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

What we know so far:
Side 1 = 55m
Side 2 = 65m
Angle 1 = 40°
Angle 2 = 30°

What we are looking for:
Toby's Angle = ?
The distance x = ?

We need to look for Toby's angle so that we can solve for the distance x by assuming that the whole figure is a SAS (Side Angle Side) triangle.

Solving for Toby's Angle:
We know for a fact that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°; therefore,
180° - (Side 1 + Side 2) = Toby's Angle
Toby's Angle  = 180° - (40° + 30°)
Toby's Angle = 110°

Since we already have Toby's angle, we can now solve for the distance x by using the law of cosines r² = p²+ q²<span>− 2pq cos R where r is x, p is Side1, q is Side2, and R is Toby's Angle.
</span>
x² = Side1² + Side2² - 2[(Side1)(Side2)] cos(Toby's Angle)
x² = 55² + 65² - 2[(55)(65)] cos(110°)
x² = 3025 + 4225 -7150[cos(110°)]
x² = 7250 - 2445.44
x = √4804.56
x = 69.31m

∴The distance, x, between two landmarks is 69.31m

Monica’s school band held a car wash to raise money for a trip to a parade in New York City. After washing 125 cars, they made $
nikklg [1K]

The system of linear equations represents the situation is;

x + y = 125

x + y = 1255x + 8y = 775

<h3>Simultaneous equation</h3>

Simultaneous equation is an equation in two unknown values are being solved for at the same time.

let

  • number of quick washes = x
  • number of premium washes = y

x + y = 125

5x + 8y = 775

From equation (1)

x = 125 - y

5x + 8y = 775

5(125 - y) + 8y = 775

625 - 5y + 8y = 775

- 5y + 8y = 775 - 625

3y = 150

y = 150/3

y = 50

  • Substitute y = 50 into

x + y = 125

x + 50 = 125

x = 125 - 50

x = 75

Therefore, the number of quick washes and premium washes Monica’s school band had is 75 and 50 respectively.

PLZZZZZ HELP MEH ILLLL MARK AND 100 points
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Volume of original toolbox = 180 in³

Yes, doubling one dimension only would double the volume of the toolbox.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = L x W x H

10 x 6 x 3 = 180 in³

proof:

double length = 20 x 6 x 3 = 360 in³, which is double the original

double width = 10 x 12 x 3 = 360 in³, which is double the original

double height = 10 x 6 x 6 = 360 in³, which is double the original
