Answer:
1. y = 14.718
2. ??
3. y = 39.794°
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>HINT the side we already know and the side we are trying to find, we use the first letters of their names and the phrase "SOHCAHTOA" to decide which function:
</em>
SOH...
Sine: sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
...CAH...
Cosine: cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
...TOA
Tangent: tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
1. Sine: sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
sin(42°) = y / 22
so on your calculator enter 42 then sin = 0.669
0.669 = y/22 multiply both sides by 22 to get y
y = 14.718
2. is there any other information??
3. The two sides we know are Opposite 40 and Adjacent 48.
SOHCAHTOA tells us we must use Tangent.
Calculate Opposite/Adjacent = 40/48 = 0.833
Find the angle from your calculator using tan-1
Tan y° = opposite/adjacent = 40/48 = 0.833
tan-1 of 0.833 = 39.794°
Answer: Your brother is 15 years old right now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "m" your currently age and "b" your brother's currently age.
Knowing that right now he is three times (this indicates multiplication) as old as you, you can write the following equation:

In five years your age will be:

And your brother's age will be:

Then, if in five years, your brother will be twice as old as you, you can set up the second equation:

Then, the System of equations is:

Apply the Substitution method and substitute the first equation into the second one and solve for "m":

Substitute the value of "m" into the first equation and evaluate in order to find "b":
