Cada prato custa US $8,00 na custou US $2,00 para ser feito cada prato ou seja US $6,00 de lucro por prato só fazer 6 ÷ 2400 = 400

Para ter certeza 6.400=2400

An isosceles triangle has angle measures 50°, 50°, and 80°. The side across from the 80° angle is 10 inches long. How long are t

djverab [1.8K]

Answer: The value of other side is 7.8 inch.

Explanation:

It is given that the isosceles triangle has angle measures 50°, 50°, and 80°. The side across from the 80° angle is 10 inches long.

Let the given length of other equal sides be x.

The side across from the 50° angle is x inches long.

Law of sine,

$\frac{a}{\sin A}= \frac{b}{\sin B} =\frac{c}{\sin C}$

$\frac{x}{\sin (50)}= \frac{10}{\sin (80)}$

$\frac{x}{0.766} =\frac{10}{0.9848}$

$x =\frac{10}{0.9848}\times (0.766)$

$x =7.778229 \approx 7.8$

Therefore, the value of other side is 7.8 inch.

Reggie invests $12,000, part at 7% annual interest and part at 8.5% annual interest. how much is invested at each rate if reggie

Vika [28.1K]

Let us say that:

x = invested at 7%

y = invested at 8.5%

and that:

<span>x + y = 12,000</span>

We can also say that:

0.07 x + 0.085 y = 900

Therefore:

0.07 x + 0.085 (12000 – x) = 900

0.07 x + 1020 – 0.085 x = 900

- 0.015 x = -120

x = $8000

so y is:

y = 12000 – 8000

y = $4,000

$8000 is invested at 7% annual interest while $4000 is invested at 8.5%

Answer:

4.9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the following equation to solve

${5}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {7}^{2}$

Reduce

${x}^{2} = 24$

$x = \sqrt{24}$

Give the following equations determine if the lines are parallel perpendicular or neither

GaryK [48]

In order to determine whether the equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, let's simply each equation into a slope-intercept form or basically, solve for y.

Let's start with the first equation.

$\frac{6x-5y}{2}=x+1$

Cross multiply both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y=2(x+1)$ $6x-5y=2x+2$

Subtract 6x on both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y-6x=2x+2-6x$ $-5y=-4x+2$

Divide both sides of the equation by -5.

$-\frac{5y}{-5}=\frac{-4x}{-5}+\frac{2}{-5}$ $y=\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the first equation is 4/5.

Let's now simplify the second equation.

$-4y-x=4x+5$

Add x on both sides of the equation.

$-4y-x+x=4x+5+x$ $-4y=5x+5$

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.

$\frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{5x}{-4}+\frac{5}{-4}$ $y=-\frac{5}{4}x-\frac{5}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of the second equation is -5/4.

Since the slope of each equation is the negative reciprocal of each other, then the graph of the two equations is perpendicular to each other.

Heather left the hospital and drove toward the desert at an average speed of 35 km/h. Danielle left sometime later driving in th

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Danielle drove 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Heather moved in the x direction.

Then Danielle moved in the opposite direction, that is, she moved in the -x direction.

Let's call $V_1$ , $x_1$ , $t_1$ at the speed, distance and time that I code Heather

Let's call $V_2$ , $x_2$ , $t_2$ at the speed, distance and time Danielle codes.

Observe the following diagram:

(x) Heather <------ $x_1$ --------- hospital ---------- $x_2$ -----------> Danielle (-x)

So:

$V_1 = 35\ km/h$

$t_1 = 4\ h$

$V_2 = 50\ km/h$

We know that after 4 hours the distance between Heather and Danielle was 290 km.

That is to say:

$x_2 + x_1 = 290\ km/h$

We know that $x_1= v_1t_1$

$x_1 = 35(4)$

$x_1 = 140\ km$

We already know $x_1$ , the distance from the hospital to Heather, so we can find $x_2$ and thus know $t_2$

So:

$x_2 = 290 - 140\\\\x_2 = 150\ km$

Then:

$t_2 = \frac{x_2}{v_2}\\\\t_2 = \frac{150}{50}\\\\t_2 = 3\ h$
