Given the following triangle, if b = 9 and B = 15°, find a.

1 answer:

6 0

The picture in the attached figure

we know that
Applying the law of sines
b/sin B=a/sin A------> a=b*sin A/sin B
b=9
B=15°
A=180-(90+15)-----> A=75°
a=?
a=b*sin A/sin B-----> a=9*sin 75/sin 15----> a=33.59 units

the answer is
33.59 units

Connie has saved up $15 to purchase a new CD from the local store. The sales tax in her county is 5% of the sticker price. Write

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$x + 0.05x = 15$ , solution is $14.29

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an equation for this scenario to try and solve it.

Assuming the cost of the CD is x, it’s sale tax will be 0.05x (as that is 5% of x, 0.05.)

We can write the equation in two ways:

$x + 0.05x = 15$ or $1.05x = 15$ .

Assuming we take the second one (easier to work with), we can divide both sides by 1.05. The equation simplifies to x = 14.289... which rounds to x = 14.29.

Therefore, the equation is $x + 0.05x = 15$ and the solution is $14.29.

Hope this helped!
