Answer:

x = 9 and y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

An  equilateral triangle, all sides and angles are congruent and each angle is equal 60 degrees

PQR is an equilateral triangle

So

PQ = QR = RP

Given:

PQ is 14y-59

QR is 9y+1

RP is 11y-23

Angle R is 7x-3

PQ = QR

Plug in

14y-59  = 9y+1

5y = 60

 y = 15

Angle R is 7x-3, also <R = 60

So

7x - 3 = 60

7x = 63

 x = 9

x = 9 and y = 15

Answer: x= 9 and y= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Triangle PQR is an equilateral triangle.

PQ is 14y-59

QR is 9y+1

RP is 11y-23

Angle R is 7x-3                 (1)

We know that , In an equilateral triangle

All sides are equal.

⇒ PQ = QR

⇒  14y-59 = 9y+1

⇒ 14y-9y =1+59  [Subtract 9y and add 59 on both sides]

⇒ 5y=60

⇒ y= 12    [Divide both sides by 5]

All angle angles of equilateral triangle are equal and have measure 60° .

⇒ Angle R =  60°

⇒  7x-3=  60      [From (1)]

⇒ 7x= 63  [Add 3 on both sides]

⇒ x= 9  [Divide both sides by 7]

Hence, the value of x= 9 and y= 12.

Answer:

9.4m is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 8m

b = 5m

c = ?

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

8² + 5² = c²

64 + 25 = c²

89 = c²

c = 9.433

Rounding off,

c = 9.4m

Find the probability.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.0366 = 3.66% probability that your coach and your friend get orange and you get a fruit-punch.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem, there are 15 bottles.

  • 5 are orange, hence the is a 5/15 = 1/3 probability that the coach gets orange, hence P(A) = 1/3.
  • After the coach, there will be 14 bottles remaining, of which 4 are orange, hence the probability that the friend gets orange is of P(B) = 4/14 = 2/7.
  • For you, there will be 13 bottles remaining, of which 5 will be of fruit-punch, hence the probability you get fruit-punch is of P(C) = 5/13.

The probability of the three outcomes occurring is given by:

p = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{7} \frac{5}{13} = \frac{10}{273} = 0.0366

0.0366 = 3.66% probability that your coach and your friend get orange and you get a fruit-punch.

Imagine that you are standing at the top of a cliff that is 1,500 feet above sea level. You see ship A, and your eyes make an an
kati45 [8]
Answer: option A. 30 °.

Explanation:

1) Draw this triangle: Eyes - Ship A - height of the cliff:

The angle of the vertix where the eyes are is: 90° - depreesion angle = 90° - 60° = 30°.

2) opossite leg = horizontal distance to the ship A = x

3) adjacent leg = height of the cliff = 1500 feet

4) tan(30°) = x / 1500 feet => x = 1500 tan(30°) = 1500 √3 / 3 = 500√3

5) Draw the triangle of the eyes - ship B - hieght of the cliff

6) The unknown is the depression angle of the eyes with ship B, α

7) opposite leg = 500√3 feet + 1000√3 feet = 1500√3 feet

8) adjacent leg = height of the cliff = 1500 feet

9) tan(α) = opposite leg / adjacent leg = 1500√3 / 1500 = √3

10) α = arctan(√3) = 60°

11) Depression angle = 90° - 60° = 30° Which is the answer
