Answer:

5.8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one of the angle in ΔHIJ is 90°, the triangle is a right angled triangle.

Using the SOH, CAH, TOA identity in trigonometry.

Given ∠H=71°, ∠J=90°

∠I = 180-(90+71)

∠I = 180-161

∠I = 19°

Considering ∠I, the opposite side to the angle is JH. The side facing the right angle ∠J=90° will be the hypothenuse (HI).

Side JH which is he third side will be adjacent side.

Since JH = 2feet

Using TOA:

Tan∠I= Opposite/Adjacent

Tangent∠I = JH/IJ

Tan19° = 2/IJ

IJ = 2/tan19°

IJ = 5.8feet (to nearest tenth of a foot)

How many liters each of a 35% acid solution and a 80% acid solution must be used to produce 60 liters of a 65% acid solution? (R
serg [7]

Solving a system of equations we will see that we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.

<h3>How many liters of each solution do we need to use?</h3>

First, we need to define the variables:

  • x = liters of the 35% acid used.
  • y = liters of the 80% acid used.

We know that we want to produce 60 liters of 65% acid, then we have the system of equations:

x + y = 60

x*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65

(in the second equation we wrote the percentages in decimal form).

To solve this we need to isolate one of the variables in one equation and then replace it in other one, isolating x we get:

x = 60 - y

Replacing that in the other equation:

(60 - y)*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65

y*(0.80 - 0.35) = 60*(0.65 - 0.35)

y*0.45 = 60*0.30

y = 60*0.30/0.45 = 40

So we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.

professor190 [17]
Number of times she climbed 5-mile mountain trail = x
Number of times she climbed 10-mile trail = y
total distance of the 5-mile mountain trail will be = 5*x =5x
total distance of the 10-mile mountain trail will be  = 10*y = 10y
equation  that can be used to find the number of times she hiked each trail is therefore
5x + 10y = 90
