Answer:

23.09 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let x be the distance between the person and the boat.

We have been given that a boat is 20 ft away from a point perpendicular to the shoreline. A person stands at a point down the shoreline so that a 60° angle is formed between the closest point to the boat, the person, and the boat.  

We can see from our attachment that the boat, shoreline and position of person forms a right triangle, where side with 20 feet length is opposite side and x is hypotenuse for our given angle.

Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use Sine to find the value of x.

\text{Sine}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

\text{Sin}(60)=\frac{20}{x}

x=\frac{20}{\text{Sin}(60)}

x=\frac{20}{0.866025403784}

x=23.094\approx 23.09

Therefore, the person is 23.09 feet away from the boat.

en un colegio mixto hay x estudiantes distribuidos en c cursos. Si hay m niños por curso, ¿Cuantas niñas hay en el colegio?
Tomtit [17]

La ecuación que nos dice cuantas niñas hay en el colegio es:

A = x - c*m

¿Como encontrar una expresión para la cantidad de niñas?

Sabemos que hay un total de x estudiantes, definimos las variables:

  • A = cantidad total de niñas
  • B = cantidad total de niños.

Entonces tenemos A + B = x

Tambien sabemos que los estudiantes estan divididos en c cursos, de tal forma que hay m niños por curso.

Entonces c por m es igual a la cantidad total de niños:

c*m = B

Reemplazando esto en la ecuación de arriba podemos obtener:

A + c*m = x

A = x - c*m

Esta es la ecuación que nos da el numero total de niñas en el colegio.

How do you solve this ???
galina1969 [7]
First you have to figure out how much a video game costs and how much a used one costs
Then you plug in the costs of the video games into Janets equation 120=3x+y
(x= video games and y=used video games)
Then you subtract the cost of video games  from 120 and then divide that answer by the cost of used video games and that should give you how many used video games she can get

Lia has a dog and a cat. Together, the pets weigh 24 pounds. The dog weighs 2 times as much as the cat.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The dog weighs 16 pounds, while the cat weighs 8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the dog d, and the weight of the cat c.

d+c=24

d=2c

Substitute the second equation into the first:

(2c)+c=24

3c=24

c=8

d=24-8=16

Hope this helps!
