Answer: Number of hours worked
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
this is a 45-45-90 triangle. The angle opposite the 45° angle is also 45°.
HI = HJ because this is an isosceles triangle.
Use the cos function to find the length of HJ:
cos Ф = adj / hyp or adj = (hyp)(cos Ф).
1
Here we have adj = HI = HJ = 4√5 cos 45° = 4√5 · -----
√2, or 4√5 / √2
4√10
This last result simplifies to ----------
2
or 2√10 (answer)
The length of side HJ and that of HI is 2/√10.
If you don’t know what a number is, you should substitute it for x and make an equation with the information you have been given. This gives:
(x + 8) x 2 = x - 11
Then, solve:
2x + 16 = x - 11
2x = x -27
x = -27
This can then be checked by using the number in the original text.
-27 + 8 = -19
-19 x 2 = -38
-38 is 11 less than -27.
Hope this helps :)
