After solving $1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$ we get y=0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the ratio: $1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$ and find value of y

Solving:

$1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$

Converting fractions into decimals

$1.32:3.14=(1.4y):0.83$

Ratio can be written as:

$\frac{1.32}{3.14}=\frac{1.4y}{0.83}$

Now cross multiply

$1.32*0.83=1.4y*3.14$

$1.09=4.39y$

$y=\frac{1.09}{4.39}$

$y=0.24$

So, after solving $1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$ we get y=0.24

Find the variable x.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle (5x - 3) is equal to half the measure of the intercepted arc

5x - 3 = 0.5(9x + 1) ← multiply both sides by 2

10x - 6 = 9x + 1 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

x - 6 = 1 ( add 6 to both sides )

x = 7

A support wire is attached to the top of a tower that is 65 feet tall as shown. If the wire makes an angle of 34 degree with the

Maru [420]

Answer:
length of wire = 116 ft

Explanation:
The attached image shows a diagram on the scenario given.

Now, we can note that the string forms a right-angled triangle with the tower and the ground. This means that special trig functions can be applied.
These functions are as follows:
sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent

Now, from the given, we can find that:
θ = 34°
opposite is the tower = 65 ft
hypotenuse is the string length that we want to find

Substitute with the givens in the sin function to get the length of string as follows:
sin (34) = 65 / string
string = 65 / sin(34)
string = 116.2 which is approximately 116 ft

Hope this helps :)
