Answer:

87.7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

tan x = AB/BC

tan x = 443/18

tan x= 24.61111

x = tan^-1(24.61)

x=87.67 and is rounded to 87.7

You work in a pharmacy that mixes different concentrations of saline solutions for its customers. The pharmacy has a supply of t
Anna [14]
We begin with 100 mL of the 2% saline solution, and will add x mL of the 0.5% saline solution. The total volume of the mixture will be (100 + x) mL. The total mass of salt will be:
(100)(2%) + (x)(0.5%) = 2 + 0.005x
This would have to be 0.79% of the total volume:
(100+x)(0.79%) = 0.79 + 0.0079x
Equating:
x = 417.24 mL

The length of the top of a table is 7 m greater than the width. the area is 78 msquared2. find the dimensions of the table.
Zinaida [17]
Let the width = x
      the length = x+7 
 => Area equation = length x width = x(x+7) = x^2 +7x = 78
=> x^2+7x -78 = 0
=> (x-6)(x+13)=0
=> x=6 or x=-13(no)
 => the width = 6 m
=> the length = 6+7= 13 m

15. Find the value of x and y rounded to the nearest tenth.<br> X<br> 34<br> 45°<br> 30°<br> y
Ugo [173]

Answer:

x = 24.0

y = 46.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let opposite side = z

Using trigonometry :

Sin 30 = z / 34

z = 0.5 * 34

z = 17

We find x :

Sin 45 = 17 / x

x * sin45 = 17

x = 17 / sin 45

x = 24.04

Let y = y1 + y2

y1 = 17 / tan45

y1 = 17

y2 = 17/tan30

y2 = 29.44

y = 17 + 29.44

y = 46.44

Find the midpoint of the segment between the points (17,−11) and (−14,−16)
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

(1.5, -13.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

Simply plug in our coordinates into the formula:

x = (17 - 14)/2

x = 3/2

y = (-11 - 16)/2

y = -27/2
