Answer:

The answer to your question is 14° and 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

leg 1 = x

leg 2 = x/4

angle 1 = ?

angle 2 = ?

Process

To solve problem use trigonometric functions. We must use the trigonometric function that relates both legs (tangent).

    tangent Ф = Opposite side / Adjacent side

-Substitution

    tan Ф = (x/4) / x

-Simplification

    tan Ф = x / 4x

    tan Ф = 1/4

-  Find Ф

     Ф = tan⁻¹(1/4) =  14°

- Find the other acute angle

  The sum of the internal angles in a triangles equals 180°

       Ф + Ф₁ + 90° = 180

-Solve for Ф₁

        Ф₁  = 180 - 90 - 14

-Result

        Ф₁ = 76°

What is the solution of √1-3x = x+3 ?<br><br><br>​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

{-1, -8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Please enclose "1 - 3x" inside parentheses so the reader will know that you want the square root of all of "1 - 3x".

Squaring both sides of the given equation, we get:

1 - 3x = x^2 + 6x + 9, or  x^2 + 6x + 8 + 3x, or

x^2 + 9x + 8 = 0.  Factoring, we get:  (x + 8)(x + 1) = 0, so that the solutions are {-1, -8}.

Choose the word phrase (greater than, less than, or equal to) to make the statements true.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Five pencils and two marches are worth greater than thirty paper clips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be paper clip.

Let 'y' be a match

and let 'z' be a pencil.

Now, let's write each statement as an equation:

Each paper clip can be traded for three matches:

x = 3y

Each pencil can be traded for six paper clips:

z = 6x

Now, five pencils equals 30 paper clips and two matches equals two thirds papel clips.

Therefore, we can say that Five pencils and two matches equals 30.66 matches. Therefore, five pencils and two marches are worth greater than thirty paper clips.
