Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
When you "flip" the fraction, switching the numerators and denominators, you get 2/1 which is just 2.
The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.
Let the required length be x, then
Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.
#1)
A) b = 10.57
B) a = 22.66; the different methods are shown below.
#2)
A) Let a = the side opposite the 15° angle; a = 1.35.
Let B = the angle opposite the side marked 4; m∠B = 50.07°.
Let C = the angle opposite the side marked 3; m∠C = 114.93°.
B) b = 10.77
m∠A = 83°
a = 15.11
Explanation
#1)
A) We know that the sine ratio is opposite/hypotenuse. The side opposite the 25° angle is b, and the hypotenuse is 25:
sin 25 = b/25
Multiply both sides by 25:
25*sin 25 = (b/25)*25
25*sin 25 = b
10.57 = b
B) The first way we can find a is using the Pythagorean theorem. In Part A above, we found the length of b, the other leg of the triangle, and we know the measure of the hypotenuse:
a²+(10.57)² = 25²
a²+111.7249 = 625
Subtract 111.7249 from both sides:
a²+111.7249 - 111.7249 = 625 - 111.7249
a² = 513.2751
Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √513.2751
a = 22.66
The second way is using the cosine ratio, adjacent/hypotenuse. Side a is adjacent to the 25° angle, and the hypotenuse is 25:
cos 25 = a/25
Multiply both sides by 25:
25*cos 25 = (a/25)*25
25*cos 25 = a
22.66 = a
The third way is using the other angle. First, find the measure of angle A by subtracting the other two angles from 180:
m∠A = 180-(90+25) = 180-115 = 65°
Side a is opposite ∠A; opposite/hypotenuse is the sine ratio:
a/25 = sin 65
Multiply both sides by 25:
(a/25)*25 = 25*sin 65
a = 25*sin 65
a = 22.66
#2)
A) Let side a be the one across from the 15° angle. This would make the 15° angle ∠A. We will define b as the side marked 4 and c as the side marked 3. We will use the law of cosines:
a² = b²+c²-2bc cos A
a² = 4²+3²-2(4)(3)cos 15
a² = 16+9-24cos 15
a² = 25-24cos 15
a² = 1.82
Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √1.82
a = 1.35
Use the law of sines to find m∠B:
sin A/a = sin B/b
sin 15/1.35 = sin B/4
Cross multiply:
4*sin 15 = 1.35*sin B
Divide both sides by 1.35:
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = (1.35*sin B)/1.35
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = sin B
Take the inverse sine of both sides:
sin⁻¹((4*sin 15)/1.35) = sin⁻¹(sin B)
50.07 = B
Subtract both known angles from 180 to find m∠C:
180-(15+50.07) = 180-65.07 = 114.93°
B) Use the law of sines to find side b:
sin C/c = sin B/b
sin 52/12 = sin 45/b
Cross multiply:
b*sin 52 = 12*sin 45
Divide both sides by sin 52:
(b*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 45)/(sin 52)
b = 10.77
Find m∠A by subtracting both known angles from 180:
180-(52+45) = 180-97 = 83°
Use the law of sines to find side a:
sin C/c = sin A/a
sin 52/12 = sin 83/a
Cross multiply:
a*sin 52 = 12*sin 83
Divide both sides by sin 52:
(a*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 83)/(sin 52)
a = 15.11
Answer:
177 Students
176 Adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Adult - (A) $5
Student - (S) $3.50
Equation 1: A+S = 353 tickets
Equation 2: 5A + 3.50S = $1500
Sub equation 1 into 2:
5A + 3.50(353 - A) = 1500
Multiply: 5A + 1235.50 -3.50A =1500
Subtract 1235.50 and -3.50A from both sides: 1.50A = 264.50 and then divide:
264.50/1.50 = 176 Adults
Sub into equation 1:
176 +S = 353
Solve: 353 - 176 = 177 Students
Check: 5(176) + 3.50(177) = $1500
1499.5 rounded = 1500 = 1500 ✔
