Find the value of x (sines and cosines)
1 answer:
You would begin by choosing which trigonometric function to use.
In this case, you would use sine.
Sine is opposite over hypotenuse.
Opposite of the 35 degree angle is 18, and you want to find the hypotenuse which is x.
sin(35) =
(multiply x to both sides)
x sin(35) = 18 (divide sin(35) to both sides)
x = 31.38204...
So, therefore x = 31.38. I don't know what decimal point you're supposed to round to, so I'm gonna guess the hundredths place. :)

The cost of children’s ticket is $ 5
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Let "c" be the cost of one children ticket
Let "a" be the cost of one adult ticket
Given that adult ticket to a museum costs 3$ more than a children’s ticket
<em>Cost of one adult ticket = 3 + cost of one children ticket</em>
a = 3 + c ------ eqn 1
<em><u>Given that 200 adult tickets and 100 children tickets are sold, the total revenue is $2100</u></em>
200 adult tickets x cost of one adult ticket + 100 children tickets x cost of one children ticket = 2100
200a + 100c = 2100 ------ eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "a" and "c"</u></em>
Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2
200(3 + c) + 100c = 2100
600 + 200c + 100c = 2100
600 + 300c = 2100
300c = 1500
<h3>c = 5</h3>Thus the cost of children’s ticket is $ 5
