Answer:
wait nvm I did the wrong answer lemme re check
Ok sorry I reviewed it and i think its D i looked to fast and got confused sorry
We use
trigonometry for this problem. You might have learned about SOH CAH TOA. In right triangles, when given an angle, you can name the three sides of the triangle a certain part:
Opposite,
Adjacent, and
Hypotenuse.
For this problem, we are given the angle and the ADJACENT length (73). We want to find the OPPOSITE side's length.
TOA
We must use the tangent function.
TOA helps us remember this relationship:
tan( theta ) = opposite / adjacent.
Plug in our values:
tan(29 degrees) = opposite / 73
Multiply by 73 to isolate "opposite" and solve for it.
73 * tan(29) = opposite.
Using a calculator, the answer is approximately 40.46 ft.
Answer: 140 ml
Explanation:
let x be the original amount of water
x - 15% = 119
But x = 100% because it’s the original
=> 100% - 15% = 119ml
85% = 119ml
Find the amount of water in 15%:
85% = 119
15% = y
=> 85/15 = 119/y
Cross multiply:
85y = 15 x 119
85y = 1785
y = 1785/85
y = 21
But y = 15% therefore, 15% = 21ml
Back to our equation:
x - 15% = 119ml
x - 21ml = 119ml
x = (119 + 21)ml
x = 140ml
Therefore, the original amount of water is 140ml
