Answer:

  • apple: $2.25
  • mango: $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" and "m" represent the cost of an apple and a mango, respectively. Then Cameron's purchase can be represented as ...

  4a +7m = 17.75

Gavin's purchase can be represented as ...

  2a +5m = 10.75

Subtracting the first equation from twice the second gives ...

  2(2a +5m) -(4a +7m) = 2(10.75) -(17.75)

  3m = 3.75

  m = 1.25

Then the price of an apple can be found from the second equation:

  2a +5(1.25) = 10.75

  2a = 4.50 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6.25

  a = 2.25 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The price of an apple was $2.25; the price of a mango was $1.25.

a rectangle box has length 12 inches, width 15 inches, and a height of 17 inches. Find the angle between the diagonal of the box
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

0.7246 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given that, a rectangle box has length 12 inches, width 15 inches, and a height of 17 inches

  • The length of the base diagonal (d) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem on length and width:

d = √{ (12)² +(15)² }  = √(144+225) = √369inches

  • The tangent of the angle is the ratio of the height of the box to this length

 Tan∅ = 17/√369

Taking the Tan^{-1} , we have

∅ = Tan^{-1}(17/√369) ≈ 0.7246 radians
