Answer:

Faisal receives $241

Ahmed receives $482

Walid receives $723

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to build a system of equations to solve this question.

We have that:

x is the amount that Faysal received.

y is the amount that Ahmed received.

z is the amount that Walid received.

Ahmed, Walid and Faisal made $1446 profit from selling used books.

This means that

$x + y + z = 1446$

Ahmed to receive double amount of Faisal

This means that $y = 2x$

Walid to receive triple amount of Faisal.

This means that $z = 3x$

So

$x + 2x + 3x = 1446$

$6x = 1446$

$x = \frac{1446}{6}$

$x = 241$

$y = 2x = 2*241 = 482$

$z = 3x = 3*241 = 723$

Faisal receives $241

Ahmed receives $482

Walid receives $723

Find the value of x.........

GREYUIT [131]

The angles of a triangle should add up to 180 degrees. in the left triangle, you should find the 3rd angle

75 + 50 + y = 180
125 + y = 180
y = 55

vertical angles are congruent, so the left angle on the right triangle will also be 55 degrees.

then you do the same thing to find x.

85 + 55 + x = 180
140 + x = 180
x = 40

I need help anybody ?

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Simply use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve.

The Pythagorean Theorem is used to solve for a side in right triangles.

$A^{2} +B^{2}= C^{2}$

<u>Plug the sides values into the equation.</u>

$A^{2} + 13^2 = 20^2\\\\A^2 + 169 = 400\\\\A^2 = 231\\\\A = 15.1987$ <- This is the answer.

The half-life of caffeine in a person’s bloodstream is about 6 hours. If a person’s bloodstream contains 80 milligrams of caffei

Luda [366]

To calculate the remaining caffeine, we use the radioactive decay formula which is expressed as An = Aoe^-kt where An is the amount left after t time, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant we can calculate from the half-life information. We do as follows:
at half-life,
ln 1/2 = -k(6)
k = 0.12/hr

An = 80e^-0.12(14)
An = 15.87 mg

What is the value of tan(60°)? One-half StartRoot 3 EndRoot StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction StartFraction 1

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$\sqrt3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:

The value of $tan60^\circ$ = ?

Solution:

Kindly consider the equilateral $\triangle ABC$ as attached in the answer area.

Let the side of triangle = $a$ units

Let us draw the perpendicular from vertex A to side BC.

It will divide the side BC in two equal parts.

i.e. BD = DC = $\frac{a}{2}$

Using Pythagorean Theorem in $\triangle ABD$ :

$\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}$

Side AD = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a$

Using Trigonometric ratio:

$tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

$tanB = \dfrac{AD}{BD}$

Putting the values of AD and BD:

$tan60^\circ=\dfrac{\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a}{\frac{1}{2}a}\\\Rightarrow tan60^\circ = \bold{\sqrt3}$
