The same number of people live on the islands Beautiful Sunrise and Gorgeous

aev [14]

Using the percentage concept, it is found that 75% of the population of Gorgeous Sunset is on Beautiful Sunrise now.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

$P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%$

In this problem, we have that:

We consider that the population of both Beautiful Sunrise and Gorgeous Sunset islands is of x.

There is a fiesta at Beautiful Sunrise, and a number a of people from Gorgeous Sunset are coming, hence, there will be x + a people at Beautiful Sunrise and x - a people t Gorgeous Sunset.

The percentage of people from Gorgeous Sunset is on Beautiful Sunrise now is:

$P = \frac{a}{x} \times 100\%$

Now the number of people on Beautiful Sunrise is seven times the number of people on Gorgeous Sunset, hence:

$\frac{x + a}{x - a} = 7$

We can find a <u>as a function of x</u> to find the percentage:

$\frac{x + a}{x - a} = 7$

$7(x - a) = x + a$

$7x - 7a = x + a$

$8a = 6x$

$a = \frac{3x}{4}$

Then, the percentage is:

$P = \frac{a}{x} \times 100\%$

$P = \frac{\frac{3x}{4}}{x} \times 100\%$

$P = \frac{3}{4} \times 100\%$

$P = 75\%$

75% of the population of Gorgeous Sunset is on Beautiful Sunrise now.

In triangle ABC, a = 9, c = 5, and angle B = 120°. Find the measure of angle A to the nearest degree. Show your work.

slamgirl [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

Angle A = 39°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that there is a triangle ABC where a = 9, c = 5 and angle B = 120° and we are to find the measure of angle A.

But first we need to find the side b using the law of cosine:

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2- 2a*c*cos(120)$

$b^2 = 81 + 25 - 2*9*5*(-0.5)$

$b=\sqrt{151}$

Now finding angle A using law of cosine:

$cos(A) = \frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2b*c}$

$cos(A) = \frac{151+25-81}{2*12.29*5}$

$cos A=0.7730$

$A=39.38$

Therefore, the measure of angle A = 39°.

A simple impact crater on the moon has a diameter of 15 kilometers. a complex impact crater has a radius of 30 kilometers. how m

timurjin [86]

The general equation for computing the circumference of a circle is $C=\pi d$ , where C is the circumference, and d is the diameter. (You might also see the equation as $C=2 \pi r$ where r is the radius, because $d=2r$ )

Computing the circumferences of the two circles, we get:
$C_{d=15}=\pi (15)=15\pi$
$C_{d=30}=\pi (30)=30\pi$ .

To calculate the ratio of two numbers, we can divide one by the other. You can look at this as "How many times does the denominator fit in the numerator?"
$\frac{C_{d=30}}{C_{d=15}}=\frac{30\pi}{15\pi}=2$
So the circumference of the complex impact crater is 2 times greater than the circumference of the simple impact crater.
