X+y+z = 132
x = 7+z
y = 3z

(7+z)+3z+z = 132
5z = 132-7
z = 125/5

z = 25 <=====

x = 7+z
x = 7 + 25
x = 39 <=====

y = 3z
y = 3 × 25
y = 75 <=====

hope it helps :)

I have to use trigonometric identities to solve. But I’m having trouble finding the values of cos A and sin B. Can anyone help m
katrin [286]

let's notice something, angles α and β are both in the I Quadrant, and on the first quadrant the x-coordinate/cosine and y-coordinate/sine are both positive.

\bf \textit{Sum and Difference Identities} \\\\ cos(\alpha - \beta)= cos(\alpha)cos(\beta) + sin(\alpha)sin(\beta) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ sin(\alpha)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{15}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{17}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{17^2-15^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{64}=a\implies \pm 8 = a\implies \stackrel{I~Quadrant}{\boxed{+8=a}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ cos(\beta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{3}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{5^2-3^2}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{16}=b\implies \pm 4=b\implies \stackrel{\textit{I~Quadrant}}{\boxed{+4=b}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf cos(\alpha - \beta)=\stackrel{cos(\alpha)}{\left( \cfrac{8}{17} \right)}\stackrel{cos(\beta)}{\left( \cfrac{3}{5} \right)}+\stackrel{sin(\alpha)}{\left( \cfrac{15}{17} \right)}\stackrel{sin(\beta)}{\left( \cfrac{4}{5} \right)}\implies cos(\alpha - \beta)=\cfrac{24}{85}+\cfrac{60}{85} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\alpha - \beta)=\cfrac{84}{85}~\hfill

The capacity of a cylindrical water tank is 539 litres. If its height is 1.4 meter then find the radius of the base.​
natulia [17]

Answer:

350m

Step-by-step explanation:

  • capacity= volume/1000
  • but we know that volume of cylinder is πr²h so substitute it I'm the volume space
  • then substitute for π as 22/7, h as 1.4 , and also capacity as 539
  • 539= ((22/7)×r²×1.4)/1000
  • when you simplify you get r as 350m

a boat is going 144 miles upstream on a river. the speed of the boat in still water is 60 miles per hour. the speed of the river
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Let  b  =  rate of the boat.

Let  r  =  rate of the river.

The rate going downstream is  b + r.

The rate going upstream is  b - r.

rate x time  =  distance

4(b + r)  =  144     --->     b + r  =  36     [divide both sides by 4]

9(b - r)  =  144      --->     b - r  =  16      [divide both sides by 9]

Add town:                          2b  =  52  

Divide by :                           b  =  26  mi/hr

                                           r  =  10  mi/hr
