Hm. This is an interesting problem.
Let's see if we can express each of these numbers in terms of x and make an algebra equation to help us solve.
Consecutive even numbers increase by 2.
Let's allow x to equal our first number.
Let's allow x + 2 to equal our 2nd number.
Let's allow x + 4 to equal our 3rd number.
When we add those together, their sum need to equal 50 more than the largest integer (our x + 4)
Let's set it up!
x + (x +2) + (x + 4) = (x + 4) + 50
Simplify!
3x + 6 = x + 54
Let's reorganize the left and right sides.
3x - x = 54 - 6
2x = 48
x = 24 (our 1st even number)
Now, let's check our answer!
24 + 26 + 28 = 78
78 - 50 = 28 Our highest integer.
The sum of consecutive integers 24, 26, 28 is 50 more than the highest integer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle
SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp
CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp
TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj
use Cos for y .... b/c we see that function above has all the pieces we are going to work with
use Sin for x .. for the same reason above
Cos(30) = y / 4
4Cos(30) = y
4/2 = y
2 = y
leave the answer for y like that.. it's in 'exact" form
now for x
Sin(30) = x / 4
4Sin(30) = x
4* 1/2 = x
2 = x
and leave your answer for x like that as it's in it's exact form. :)
oh and I see the answer in the list.. do you? :)
Its not because in order for it to be in scientific notation and its not written as a number times a power of 10
Angle B measures to 132 degrees.
