Answer:

The old tower has 150 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of steps in the old tower be m

Mathematically, time = distance/speed

In this case, the distance is the number of steps while the speed is the rate of climbing or descending

For climbing, time spent = m/3

For descending time spent = m/2

Since it took her 25 longer when descending;

This means that;

m/2 - m/3 = 25

(3m-2m)/6 = 25

m/6 = 25

m = 6 * 25

m = 150 steps

Ina a class of 30 children,60% can swim. how many children cannot swim?
rewona [7]
60% of the total (30) can swim
60% of 30 = (60/100)*30 = 0.60*30 = 18
So 18 children can swim

This means 30-18 = 12 cannot swim

---------------------------------------------------------

An alternative is to do it this way: 

We know 60% can swim so that means 40% cannot swim. 
Notice how 100% - 60% = 40%
Or in other words, the 60% and 40% add to 100%. This is because we have two choices: either the person can swim or cannot swim

Since 40% cannot swim, this means
40% of 30 = (40/100)*30 = 0.40*30 = 12
and we get the same result as before

---------------------------------------------------------

Final Answer: 12

Sinα=(opposite side)/hypotenuse

cosα=(adjacent side)/hypotenuse

tanα=(opposite side)/(adjacent side)

In a right triangle the longest side is the hypotenuse.

If one angle opposite a side is α, the angle opposite the other side is 90-α (because the sum of all angles must be 180° for any triangle)

I hope that helps as your question is not really clear, if you have any more specific questions, I'd be happy to help out. :)

Use the function y = 50 tan x on the interval 0 < x < 150 Complete the ordered pair (x, 125). Round your answer to the nea
Colt1911 [192]

The value of x to the nearest whole number is 68 degrees

<h3>Equations and expressions</h3>

Given the trigonometry function shown below:

y = 50 tan x

For the coordinate (x, 125)

If the value of y is 125, then;

125 = 50tanx

tanx = 125/50

tanx = 2.5

x = arctan(2.5)

x = 68.19

Hence the value of x to the nearest whole number is 68 degrees

|6-27| how the answer this question
sweet [91]

Answer:

First notice that they’re asking for the absolute value of the equation.

The absolute value is how far that number is from 0.

Basically it’s the number without a negative sign.

ok so 6-27 = -21

The product for 6-27 (21) is 21 spaces away from 0.

|6-27| = 21

21 is the answer to your question.

Hope this helped and pls mark me brainliest if it did :)
