Answer:

7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the shorter and y be the longer length

x + y = 10

x = 10 - y

4x = 2y - 2

4(10 - y) = 2y - 2

40 - 4y = 2y - 2

6y = 42

y = 7

Assuming that c is the length of AB (as is usually the case in the angle-side notation for triangles):
If sin(35) = 12/c, we can transform by multiplying both sides by c, and dividing both by sin(35) to get
c = 12/sin(35)
Evaluating using a calculator gives 20.92 units.

Rob is saving to buy a new MP3 player. For every $15 he earns babysitting, he saves $10.On Saturday, Rob earned $45 babysitting.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so we can solve this problem using fractions; $10 saved for every $15 made..

10/15=x/45

Using cross multiplication we can conclude 10*45=15x

450=15x

x=30

Hope this helps :)
