Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

\frac{144}{x}=\frac{120}{100}

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds

Given: sinθ = -3/5, θ is a third quadrant angle, and tan φ = -7/24, φ is a second-quadrant angle; find cos(θ + φ])
Natali [406]

Answer:

First option: cos(θ + φ) = -117/125

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that cos(θ + φ) = cos(θ)cos(φ) - sin(θ)sin(φ)

If sin(θ) = -3/5 in Quadrant III, then cos(θ) = -4/5.

Since tan(φ) = sin(φ)/cos(φ), then sin(φ) = -7/25 and cos(φ) = 24/25 in Quadrant II.

Therefore:

cos(θ + φ) = cos(θ)cos(φ) - sin(θ)sin(φ)

cos(θ + φ) = (-4/5)(24/25) - (-3/5)(-7/25)

cos(θ + φ) = (-96/125) - (21/125)

cos(θ + φ) = -96/125 - 21/125

cos(θ + φ) = -117/125

Question 5 :)) What is the measure of the missing angle?​
Stella [2.4K]
The answer is 115 because the interior angle is 65 and 115 plus 65 is 180. You want 180 because the angles are opposite and make a straight line

A viewfinder has a triangular lens. Some of the measurement of the length are shown below. Which of the following best represent
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the unknown angle of the triangle.

40 + 20 = 60

180 - 60 = 120

So the unknown angle is 120.

Then, we can use the law of sines to create a proportion.

sin(120)/8 = sin(40)/a

Then, we can simplify this.

a is about 5.9, or answer choice A.
