Let the two numbers be x and y
Then
x + y = 60
And
x - y = 2
x = y + 2
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
y + 2 + y= 60
2y + 2 = 60
2y = 60 - 2
2y = 58
y = 58/2
y = 29
Now putting the value of y in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
x + 29 = 60
x = 60 - 29
x = 31
So the value of the two numbers comes out to be 31 and 29. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

31 and 29 because 31 plus 29 is 60 and 31 minus 29 is 2

Find the geometric sum: 40 + 20 + 10 + … + 0.078125

sveticcg [70]

$S=40+20+10+\cdots+0.078125$
$S=40\left(1+\dfrac12+\dfrac14+\cdots+\dfrac1{512}\right)$
$S=40\left(1+2^{-1}+2^{-2}+\cdots+2^{-9}\right)$

$2^{-1}S=40\left(2^{-1}+2^{-2}+2^{-3}+\cdots+2^{-10}\right)$

$\implies S-2^{-1}S=40\left(1-2^{-10}\right)$
$\implies\dfrac12S=40\left(1-\dfrac1{1024}\right)$
$\implies S=80\left(1-\dfrac1{1024}\right)=\dfrac{5115}{64}=79.921875$

A triangular pyramid has a surface area of 174 square feet. It is made up of equilateral triangles with side lengths of 10 feet.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Slant height = 7.07 ft to nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height = height of one of the triangular sides

Using Pythagoras:

S^2 = 1/2 * 10^2 + 10^2 = 50 ft.

S = √50 = 7.071

Describe and correct the error in finding csc θ, given that θ is an acute angle of a right triangle and cos θ =7/11

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

<h2>cosecθ = 1/sinθ = 11/6√2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that cos θ =7/11, cosec θ = 1/sinθ in trigonometry.

Based on SOH, CAH, TOA;

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse = 7/11

adjacent = 7 and hyp = 11

Since sinθ = opp/hyp, we need to get the opposite to be able to calculate sinθ.

Using pythagoras theorem to get the opposite;

$hyp^{2} = adj^{2} + opp ^{2} \\opp = \sqrt{hyp^{2} - adj^{2} } \\opp = \sqrt{11^{2} - 7^{2}} \\opp = \sqrt{72} \\opp = 6\sqrt{2}$

sinθ = 6√2/11

cosecθ = 1/sinθ = 1/( 6√2/11)

cosecθ = 1/sinθ = 11/6√2

Note the error; cscθ $\neq$ 1/cosθ but cscθ = 1/sinθ
