Answer:
a) Is it possible for Fred to accomplish this? Yes
b) If it is possible, what score does he need in his next game? 293
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let us represent the number of games Fred bowled to get an average of 177 = X
His total points scored in that game would be
177 × X
= 177X
To achieve an average of 178 for his next game,
The total number of points he scored was 199, hence that is represented as:
178 = 177X + 199/ X + 1
178(X + 1) = 177X + 199
178X + 178 = 177X + 199
178X - 177X = 199 - 178
X = 21
Hence, Fred bowled 21 games to achieve an average of 178
Therefore, the score he needs to have on the 23rd game is obtained as:
= (23 × 183) - (22 × 178) = 4209 - 3916 = 293
Therefore, it is possible for Fred to raise his average from 178 to 183 in a single game, but he must bowl 293 in his next game to do this.
Answer: y ≈ 10.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosine function relates the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. The side adjacent to the 20° angle is 10 cm.
cos(20°) = (10 cm)/y
y = (10 cm)/cos(20°)
y ≈ 10.6 cm
Answer:
The equations that represent the situation are:
2y+x=5
5x-y=3
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
The short answer is 39.
Every triangle has 180 degrees. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Since a triangle has 3 angles, all three together must add up to 180o
A right angle = 90 degrees always.
You are given 51 degrees as your second angle
The third one is x
x + 51 + 90 = 180 Total of three angles must be 180
x + 141 = 180 The left has been added to give 141
x = 180 - 141 Subtract 141 from both sides
x = 39 The third angle = 39
