Answer: \frac{1}{8}\ lb

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the total amount of butter (in pounds) that were divided evenly, is:

total=\frac{3}{4}\ lb

The exercise explains that they filled six dishes with that division. Therefore, in order to calculate the value of the variable "x", you need to divide \frac{3}{4}\ lb by 6.

But first it is important to remember the Division of fractions:

\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{d}{c}=\frac{ad}{bc}

Therefore, applying that rule, you get:

\frac{3}{4}\ lb\div6=(\frac{3}{4}\ lb)(\frac{1}{6})=\frac{3}{24}\ lb

Finally, reducing the fraction you get the following result expressed as a fraction:

=\frac{1}{8}\ lb

A pilot flies on a bearing of 160° for 30 miles. The pilot then executes a quick turn and flies another 15 miles at a bearing of
vivado [14]

Answer: 34.65 miles at an angle of 325.39°

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, the initial position is (0,0)

Then she flies 30 miles at an angle of 160°, if we count the angle counterclokwise from the x-axis, the new position will be:

p = (30*cos(120°), 30*sin(120°))

Then she travels another 15 miles at an angle of 205°, the new position is:

p = (30*cos(120°) + 15*cos(205°), 30*sin(120°) + 15*sin(205°))

p = (-28.59 , 19.64)

If she now travles X miles at an angle Y, we must have that the final position is the point (0,0)

this means that:

X*cos(Y) = -(-28.59) = 28.59

X*sin(Y) = -19.64

Now, we can find the quotient between those two equations and use that tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

X*(sin(Y))/(X*cos(Y)) = -19.64/28.59

Tg(Y) = -0.69

Y = ATg(-0.69) = -34.61°

If we use only positive angles, this angle is equivalent to:

360° - 34.61° = 325.39°

now lets find the distance:

Xcos(325.39°) = 28.59

X = 28.59/cos(325.39°) = 34.65 miles.

In Triangle LMN, < M is a right angle. If MN = 10 and LN = 20.4, determine m < N to the nearest degree.
UNO [17]

cos θ = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

cos ∠N = \frac{10}{20.4}

      ∠N = cos⁻¹ (\frac{10}{20.4})

      ∠N = 60.65°

Answer: 61°

The hypotenuse AB of the right triangle ABC is parallel to the axis of the abscess. Find the length of the hypotenuse if A (-1;
lukranit [14]

Answer:

  10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of AC is given by the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (-4 -1)/(3 -(-1)) = -5/4

Then the slope of CB is the opposite reciprocal, 4/5. The equation of line CB in point-slope form is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  y -(-4) = 4/5(x -3) . . . . line CB

When y = 1 (to match the y-value of A), then ...

  1 +4 = 4/5(x -3)

  5(5/4) = (x -3) . . . . . multiply by 5/4

  6.25 +3 = x = 9.25 . . . . add 3

Point B is (9.25, 1).

The length of the hypotenuse is ...

  9.25 -(-1) = 10.25
