Answer:

∠V = 12.68°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the value of the sine of ∠V to the nearest hundredth

Kindly note that since one of the angles in the triangle equals 90°, then we are dealing with a right-angled triangle.

PLEASE VIEW ATTACHMENT TO SEE THE DIAGRAM OF THE SHAPE

Mathematically, to calculate the sine of an angle in a triangle, the ratio to use is

Sine of an angle = length of side facing angle/length of hypotenuse = opposite/Hypotenuse

From the diagram, we can see that the length of the opposite is 9 while the length of the hypotenuse is 41

Sine V = 9/41

V = arcsin (9/41)

V = arcsin (0.2195)

V = 12.68° to the nearest hundredth

Percent decrease : (original number - new number) / original number..*100
= (225,000 - 191,250) / 225,000.....* 100
= 33,750 / 225,000....* 100
= 0.15 * 100

Two rival companies began the same year. The equations below model the number of employees, y, at these companies x years after

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Both the claims by the companies are not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations modeling number of employees 'y' after 'x' years of the start are,

For company R: y = 3x +24

For company T: y = 4x + 10

If Company R states that this year they have 42 employees,

42 = 3x + 24

3x = 42 - 24

x = $\frac{18}{3}$

x = 6 years

So company has completed 6 years this year.

Now we put x = 6 years in the equation for company T.

y = (4×6) + 10

y = 24 + 10

y = 34

Which doesn't match with the number of employees of the company R.

Therefore, claim of company R is not possible.

Company T stated that after 15 years they will have the same number of employees as company R.

For company T : y = 4(15) + 10

y = 70 employees

For company R : y = 3(15) + 10

y = 45 + 10

y = 55 employees

Therefore, claim of the company T is also not possible.
