Answer:
(c) 14.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant trig relation is ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(65°) = BC/BA
BC = BA·sin(65°) ≈ (16 cm)·0.9063 ≈ 14.501 cm
BC ≈ 14.5 cm

As is often the case, a simple estimate is all that is needed to identify the correct answer choice.
You only need to know how the long side of a right triangle compares to the others. In an isosceles right triangle, both legs are √2/2 ≈ 0.71 times the hypotenuse. The long side of a right triangle will never be shorter than that. This means the long side must be greater than about 11.2, and cannot be greater than 16. There is only one answer choice in that range.
W(4) = 3(4) + 7
w(4) = 12 + 7
w(4) = 19
6.5(2r - s) + 3.7r - 1.25s.....first we distribute the 6.5 thru the parenthesis
13r - 6.5s + 3.7r - 1.25s....now we combine like terms
(13r + 3.7r) = 16.7r
(-6.5s - 1.25s) = -7.75
leaving us with : 16.7r - 7.75s <==
Answer:
1/8 of the budget was left for other expenses.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 of the budget - buildings and maintenance.
Administrative personnel : 1/4 + 1/8 = 2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8 of the budget.
Therefore:
3/8 of the budget - administrative personnel.
Public safety : 3/8 - 1/8 = 2/8 = 1/4 of the budget.
For other expenses :
1 - ( 1/4 + 3/8 + 1/4 ) = 1 - ( 2/8 + 3/8 + 2/8 ) 1 - 7/8 = 1/8
Finally, 1/8 of the total budget was for the other expenses.
