Holly has 20 balls, and there are 100 balls in total.

So there are 100-20 = 80 balls left.

Alex had 2 * the amount Holly had, which is 20.

So Alex has 20 * 2 = 40 balls.

Together, they have 60 balls.

Which means 100-60 = 40. So Ben has 40 balls.

Check:

Holly: 20

Alex: 40

Ben: 40

Add them: 20 + 40 + 40 = 100

Answer:

40 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number Ben has be A.

Holly , Alex and Ben had 100 balls.

Holly had 20

Alex had 2x holly = 2 x 20

= 40 balls

Therefore

20 + 40 + A = 100

60 + A = 100

Subtract 60 from both sides

60 - 60 + A = 100 - 60

A = 40

Ben had 40 balls

Check

Holly + Alex + ben

20 + 40 + 40

= 100 balls

Calcula en cada caso las restantes razones trigonométricas de un angulo agudo si se conoce que:
olchik [2.2K]
A) cos a = (√22)/5; tan a = (√66)/22
B) sin a = (2√2)/3; tan a = 2√2
C) sin a = (√30)/6; cos a = (√6)/6
D) sin a = 3/5; tan a = 3/4
E) sin a = (5√26)/26; cos a = (√26)/26
F) sin a = 3/5; tan a = 3/4

Explanation
The ratio for sine is opposite/hypotenuse.  This means the side opposite the angle is √3 and the hypotenuse is 5.  Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the adjacent side,
(√3)² + A² = 5²
3+A² = 25
A² = 22
A=√22
This means that cos a = adjacent/hypotenuse = (√22)/5 and tan a = opposite/adjacent = (√3)/(√22) = (√66)/22.
B)  The ratio for cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse; this means the side adjacent to the angle is 1 and the hypotenuse is 3.  Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the side opposite the angle (p),
1² + p² = 3²
1+p² = 9
p² = 8
p=√8 = 2√2
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = (2√2)/3 and tan a = opposite/adjacent = (2√2)/1 = 2√2.
C) The ratio for tangent is opposite/adjacent; this means that the side opposite the angle is √5 and the side adjacent the angle is 1.  Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse,
(√5)²+1² = H²
5+1=H²
6=H²
√6 = H
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = (√5)/(√6) = (√30)/6 and cos a = adjacent/hypotenuse = 1/(√6) = (√6)/6.
D)  The ratio for cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse; this means that the side adjacent the angle is 4 and the hypotenuse is 5.  Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the side opposite the angle, p:
4²+p²=5²
16+p²=25
p²=9
p=3
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = 3/5 and tan a = opposite/adjacent = 3/4.
E)  The ratio for tangent is opposite/adjacent;; this means that the side opposite the angle is 5 and the side adjacent the angle is 1.  Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse,
5²+1²=H²
25+1=H²
26=H²
√26 = H
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = 5/(√26) = (5√26)/26 and cos a = adjacent/hypotenuse = 1/(√26) = √26/26.
F) 0.8 = 8/10; The ratio for cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse.  This means that the side adjacent the angle is 8 and the hypotenuse is 10.  Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the side opposite the angle, p:
8²+p² = 10²
64+p² = 100
p² = 36
p=6
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = 6/10 = 3/5 and tan a = opposite/adjacent = 6/8 = 3/4.
