The quastion is asking us to determine the measure of angle M in a right triangle LMN. We know that angle N is a right angle and that LM = 76 ( Hypotenuse ) and MN = 40 ( Adjacent ). We will use trigonometry: cos M = Adjacent / Hypotenuse = 40 / 76 = 0.5263158; M = cos^(-1) 0.563158; M = 58.242° = 58° 15`. Answer: The measure of angle M is<span> 58°15`.</span>
Ratio is 3:1 and the original area is 720. So 3/1 is equivalent to 720/x . X is the missing number. Set up like 3/1=720/x Cross multiply you get 3x=720 Solve for x which is 720/3 New area is 240 square inches
The independent variable (x) is the amount of time John fixes a computer. The dependent variable (y) is the amount, in dollars, John earns for a computer.
