Answer:
22.5 feet (to the nearest tenth).
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations have not been given but still the question can be solved. The ladder lying with a building makes a right angled triangle, in which the ladder is the hypotenuse, the building is the perpendicular, and the ground is the base. The length of the ladder (hypotenuse) is 26 feet and the angle with the ground is 60 degrees. The required length to be found is the length of the building (perpendicular). So the following formula will be used:
sin θ = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse.
Substituting in the equation gives:
sin60 = p/26.
p = 26*sin60.
p = 22.5 (to the nearest tenth).
The approximate height of the building is 22.5 feet!!!
First, you plot the coordinates to visualize the problem clearly. As you can see in the picture, the longest sides could either be one of those marked in red. This could be initially determined when you use visual estimation. We measure this using the distance formula: d = √[(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)]
Between coordinates (0,3) and (3,6)
d = √[(3-0)^2 + (6-3)^2)]
d= 4.24 units
Between coordinates (2,1) and (5,4)
d = √[(5-2)^2 + (4-1)^2)]
d= 4.24 units
They are of equal length. Both are the longest sides which measures
4.24 units.
If it is a system of two unknowns:
1) 4x-8y=5 multiple by 3
2)6x-12y=10 multiple by -2
then
12x-24y=15
-12x+24y=-20
x and y equals 0, so
Answer: no solution
Well to be honest we can not tell the number of salads sold that day as we do not know the number of drinks sold that day or how much they costed in total or something. Assuming that the question was the maximum number of salads sold that day.
So the maximum number of salads that were sold were 125. Because 125 * 6.5 = 812.5 and the rest of money would have been from drinks.
