Draw a right triangle.

$tan(theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$tan(theta) = \frac{10}{14}$

Arctangent (tan^-1) can be used to find theta.

$tan^{-1}(\frac{10}{14})=theta$

$theta\ is\ approx\ \boxed{36\ degrees}$

John is at a local bait shop; he wants to buy bait for his fishing trip. At the store, they are selling live bait for $12 a poun

Monica [59]

The system of inequalities is: $x\geq 3$ and $12x+7y\leq 63$

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Let $x$ be the amount of live bait and $y$ be the amount of natural bait.

As John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait, so the first inequality will be: $x\geq 3$

Given that, price of live bait is $12 per pound and natural bait is $7 per pound. Also, he only has a budget of $63. That means, he can spend maximum $63

So, the cost for buying $x$ pound of live bait $=\$12x$ and the cost for buying $y$ pound of natural bait $=\$7y$

Thus, the second inequality will be: $12x+7y\leq 63$
