The hypotenuse is 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: This is a right triangle, so the trigonometric ratio cosine can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse. Given side opposite to ∠B, AC = 18 ft and ∠A = 40°,

cos 40° = adjacent side/hypotenuse = AC/AB = 18/AB

⇒ AB = 18/cos 40° = 18/0.76 = 23.5 ft ≈ 20 ft

Answer: t=-3h+25

Step-by-step explanation:

t=-3h+25

25 degrees is a constant-- it never changes, no matter how many hours goes by. So, you don't multiply a variable with it.

The temperature drops every 3 hours-- this is not constant, since it's dependent on the number of hours that passes. So, use a variable here. Since the temperature drops every three hours, it's -3, and not 3.

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Angle 1 = 39, Angle 2 = 78 , Angle 3 = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

78/2 = 39

(Angle 2/2 = Angle 1)

78 - 15 = 63

(Angle 2 - 15 = Angle 3)

39 + 78 + 63 = 180

(Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180)
