70x + 490=1050
-490 -490\
70x= 560

divide both sides by 70

x = 8

8 passengers

In ΔUVW, w = 44 cm, u = 83 cm and ∠V=141°. Find the area of ΔUVW, to the nearest square centimeter.

Tema [17]

Answer:

$Area \approx 1149\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given that:</u>

ΔUVW,

Side w = 44 cm, (It is the side opposite to $\angle W$ )

Side u = 83 cm (It is the side opposite to $\angle U$ )

and ∠V=141°

Please refer to the attached image with labeling of the triangle with the dimensions given.

Area of a triangle with two sides given and angle between the two sides can be formulated as:

$A = \dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times b\times sinC$

Where a and b are the two sides and

$\angle C$ is the angle between the sides a and b

Here we have a = w = 44cm

b = u = 44cm

and ∠C= ∠V=141

Putting the values to find the area:

$A = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 44\times 83\times sin141\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 3652 \times sin141\\\Rightarrow A =1826 \times 0.629\\\Rightarrow A \approx 1149\ cm^2$

So, the <em>area </em>of given triangle to the nearest square centimetre is:

$Area \approx 1149\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a dilatation for find the new coordinates we have to multiply the initial value for the the scale factor

A’(-3, 12)

B’(9,6)

C’(-9,-3)

so the general rule is:

(x,y) -> (3x, 3y)

Atul has 2/3 lb of candy. Jose has 3/5 lb and Maria has 1/2 lb less then José. How many more pounds of candy does Atul have than

liraira [26]

Given:

Atul has $\dfrac{2}{3}$ lb of candy.

Jose has $\dfrac{3}{5}$ lb of candy.

Maria has $\dfrac{1}{2}$ lb less than Jose.

To find:

How many more pounds of candy does Atul have than Maria?

Solution:

Since, Maria has $\dfrac{1}{2}$ lb less than Jose, therefore

Maria has = $\dfrac{3}{5}-\dfrac{1}{2}$ lb

Maria has = $\dfrac{6-5}{10}$ lb

Maria has = $\dfrac{1}{10}$ lb

Difference between the candies Atul and Maria have.

Difference = $\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{1}{10}$ lb

Difference = $\dfrac{20-3}{30}$ lb

Difference = $\dfrac{17}{30}$ lb

Therefore, Atul have $\dfrac{17}{30}$ lb of candy more than Maria.
