Answer: I am going tot give you an example for this because I don’t like giving straight up answers ok?

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use this conversion factor:

4 inches = 1 year

Let's find the year at 5 feet (60 inches) using the conversion factor. Set up a proportion.

4 / 60 = 1 / x

Cross multiply.

4x = 60

x = 15

At 15 years, the height is 60 inches.

We can use these as points.

x = time in years

y = height in inches

Point 1 = (1, 4)

Point 2 = (15, 60)

By looking at the points, we know that as the x values increase, so does the y values. Now the relation between the x and y values of each point is that y is 4 times as that of x. Therefore, we can establish an equation.

y = 4x

This will be the model to use to find the height in 30 years.

- It requires 1/4 of a credit to play a video game for one minute.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Emma can play for more than one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 is the same as 2/8 because 1/4*2=2/8.

2/8 is much smaller than 7/8.

Emma can play for 3 1/2 minutes in total.

A piece if wire 40cm is bent to form a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 17cm long find the other two sides of triangle
hjlf

Answer: 150mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the two adjecent sides of the triangle to be x and y and X is the angle opposite the side, x.

From the trigonometric identities for a right-angled triangle, it is known that

x=170sin X and;

y=170cos X

Thus the perimeter of the triangle is given by

170sin X + 170cos X + 170 = 400

170(sin X + cos X) = 400 - 170

170(sin X + cos X) = 230

sin X + cos X = 230/170 = 1.3529

Squaring both sides hence,

sin^2(X) + 2sin X.cos X + cos^2(X) = 1.8304

Recall that sin^2(X) + cos^2(X) = 1 and 2sin X.cos X = sin 2X.

Thus, the former expression gives;

1 + sin 2X = 1.8304

sin 2X = 0.8304

2X = arcsin (0.8304)

2X = 56.14° or (180 - 56.14)° = 56.14° or 123.86° for X existing within a triangle.

X = 56.14/2 or 123.86/2

X = 28.07° or 61.93°

Thus the two adjacent sides are ;

x = 170 sin (28.07) = 80mm

y = 170 cos (28.07) = 150mm

Using the value of 61.93° as X would give the same values but interchanged for x and y.

I hope you find this useful.
