Answer:
D. 12.3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem requires the use of trigonometric ratios. This one specifically uses the cosine ratio as it provides the hypotenuse and is asking for the side that is adjacent to the angle.
cos(40°)=a/16
cos(40°)×16=a/16×16
cos(40°)×16=a
a=12.256 ft
The length of side a is D. 12.3 ft.
Sorry I don’t get that one
Answer:
27 miles in the morning and 85 miles in the afternoon.
Explanation:
Let m be the number of miles they rode in the morning. They rode 4 more than 3 times this many in the afternoon; this gives us the expression
3m+4
to represent the miles ridden in the afternoon.
Together they rode 112 miles; this means we add the morning miles, m, to the afternoon miles, 3m+4, and get 112:
m+3m+4 = 112
Combine like terms:
4m+4 = 112
Subtract 4 from each side:
4m+4-4= 112-4
4m = 108
Divide both sides by 4:
4m/4 = 108/4
m = 27
They rode 27 miles in the morning.
That means in the afternoon, they rode
3m+4 = 3(27)+4 = 81+4 = 85 miles.
Well,you have the answer on your paper already...
