Answer:

Because the metric system is acknowledged by all countries except for the US, therefore, to put it only in a format understood by Americans would make it harder for the larger population of the scientific community to understand. If it's in the metric system, it can easily be understood for peer review and or involvement

I don't know how to solve this

sergiy2304 [10]

The answer that I got was side WX = 12 inches

It says that WY is congruent to XY which means that they are the same. That means that XY is also 3m-4. It also says that the perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches.

With this information I set up an equation:

3m-4 + 3m-4 +m = 76

(The number on the right side is the perimeter given to us in the problem and the numbers on the left side are the 3 side lengths).

I combined like terms on the left side and ended up with:

7m-8=76

I added 8 to both sides of the equation and got 7m=84.

Finally I divided both sides by 7 and got m=12

m is equivalent to side WX..

Hope this helps!

Convert the angle to a decimal in degrees 60 degree 19 ‘39”

7nadin3 [17]

bearing in mind that there are 60 minutes in 1 degree, and 60 seconds in 1 minute.

60°19'39"

so 39 seconds is really 39/60 minutes, or 0.65 minutes

so 19'39" is really 19.65'.

since there are 60 minutes in 1 degree, then 19.65' is really 19.65/60 degrees, or 0.3275°.

60°19'39" is then 60.3275°.

una palmera de 17 metros de altura se encuentra sujeta por dos cables de 21m y 25m respectivamente. En la figura se pide calcula

aliya0001 [1]

La distancia AB es de 30.66m.

<h3>Cómo calcular la distancia AB?</h3>

Para calcular la distancia AB debemos realizar el siguiente procedimiento matemático utilizando el teorema de Pitágoras como se muestra a continuación.

a² + b² = c²
r² + 17² = 21²
r² = 21² – 17²
r = 12.33m

De acuerdo a lo anterior, podemos establecer que la base del triángulo de la izquierda mide 12.33m. Ahora debemos calcular la distancia de la base del triángulo de la derecha.

a² + b² = c²
s² + 17² = 25²
s² = 25² – 17²
s = 18.33m

De acuerdo a lo anterior, la base del triángulo de la derecha es de 18.33m. Ahora para saber la base total del triángulo que forman ambos cables debemos sumar los valores de la base de los triángulos.

12.33m + 18.33m = 30.66m
