<u>Given </u>that the length of the hypotenuse is 8 and the angle is 42°
The length of the one leg of the triangle is x.
We need to determine the value of x.
<u>Value of x:</u>
The value of x can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.
Thus, we have;
Substituting the values, we get;
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 8, we get;
Simplifying, we get;
Therefore, the value of x is 5.35(app.)
Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> number of nickels
y ----> number of dimes
Remember that
so
------> equation A
------> equation B
<em>Solve the system by substitution</em>
we have
------> equation A
------> equation B
Multiply both equations by 100 both sides
---->
--> equation C
----> equation D
substitute equation C in equation D
solve for y
Find the value of x
<em>Alternative Method</em>
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
the solution is the point (45,72)
therefore
The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.
