Answer:

y = 6√3 and x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a 30-60-90 triangle.  The side opposite the 30° angle corresponds to the side of length 1  in the most basic 30-60-90 triangle; the side opp. 60° to the side of length √3; and the hyp. to the side of length 2.

To find y, write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

adj side           adj side      (adjacent to the 30° angle)

    y                       √3

 hypo               hypo    then (cross multiplying):  2y = 12√3, and

    12                     2       y = 6√3

If the hypo here is 12 and the adj side (y) is 6√3, then we can use the Pyth. Theorem to find the third side (x):

[12]² = [6√3]² - x²  ↔ 144 = 36(3) - x²   ↔  36 = x².  So x = 6 here.

Answer:

x = 6

y ≈ 10. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for x and y since the angle is known and it is a right angle triangle.

hypotenuse = 12

adjacent = x

opposite = y

cos 60° = adjacent/hypotenus

cos 60° = x/12

cross multiply

x = 12 cos 60°

x = 12 × 0.5

x = 6

Finding y

sin 60° = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 60° = y/12

cross multiply

y = 12 sin 60°

y  = 12 × 0.8660254038

y =  10.392304845

y ≈ 10. 40

Quadrilateral CAMP below is a rhombus. the length PQ is (x+2) units, and the length of QA is (3x-14) units. Which statements bes
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

<h3>Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.</h3><h3>The value of x is 8.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Quadrilateral CAMP below is a rhombus. the length PQ is (x+2) units, and the length of QA is (3x-14) units

From the given Q is the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.

By the definition of rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.

Implies that PQ = QA

x+2 = 3x - 14

x-3x=-14-2

-2x=-16

2x = 16

dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,

x =\frac{16}{2}

<h3>∴ x=8</h3><h3>Since Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles we can equate x+2 = 3x-14 to find the value of x.</h3>

The line segment \overrightarrow{PA}=\overrightarrow{PQ}+\overrightarrow{QA}

\overrightarrow{PA}=x+2+3x-14

=4x-12

=4(8)-12 ( since x=8)

=32-12

=20

<h3>∴ \overrightarrow{PA}=20 units</h3>

Gabriel invested $77,000 in an account paying an interest rate of 3%
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Isabella earn 5604.54 more money than  Gabriel

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know

Compound interest (CI) = P (1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

P is the principal amount

t is the time period

n is the number of time periods

r is the rate of interest

a)  CI for  Gabriel

= 77000 (1 + \frac{3}{100*12})^{12*6} = 92165.03 dollars

b) CI for Isabella

= 77000 (1 + \frac{4}{100*4})^{4*6} = 97769.57 dollars

Isabella earn 5604.54 more money than  Gabriel

Please help me with this thanks
Kryger [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

B = area of the base

= 9×4 = 36 square inches

P= perimeter of the base

= 2(9+4)

=2×13= 26 inches

H =distance between the bases

= 16 inches

SA= 2B+PH

= 2(36)+ 26× 16

= 72+416 = 488 square inches

ki77a [65]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

With regards to the above, since 1/4 of the volunteers are teenagers, the fraction of the volunteers would be

= 1 - 1/4

= 3/4

It therefore means that 3/4 of the volunteers are teenagers.
