Two cars start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. The first car travels 15 miles per hour faster than the seco

nd car. In 4 hours, the cars are 300 miles apart. Use the formula below to determine the rate of the second car. 4(r + 15) + 4r = 300 What is the rate, r, of the second car? Solve for r.

Answer:

The rate of the second car is 30 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The Given formula is:

4(r + 15) + 4r = 300, where r is the rate for the second car

Let us solve the equation to find r

→ Multiply 4 by (r + 15) first

∵ 4(r + 15) = 4(r) + 4(15) = 4r + 60

→ Substitute it in the equation above

∴ 4r + 60 + 4r = 300

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (4r + 4r) + 60 = 300

∴ 8r + 60 = 300

→ Subtract 60 from both sides

∴ 8r + 60 - 60 = 300 - 60

∴ 8r = 240

→ Divide both sides by 8

∴ \frac{8r}{8}=\frac{240}{8}

∴ r = 30

∴ The rate of the second car is 30 miles/hour

You're standing on the ground 7777 meters away from the bottom of a tall tower. The tower itself is 346346 meters tall. What is
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

88.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, visualize. Assuming that the tower is at a perfectly 90° angle to the ground, you have a right triangle. We will call this triangle ΔABC where A is where you are, B is the top of the tower, and C is the base of the tower. Now we know the following:

∠A = ?

∠B = ?

∠C =  90

a = 346346

b = 7777

c = ?

Note: Triangles are labeled with three pairs of letters: a, b and c and A, B and C. The lower case letters, a, b and c represent the sides, and the upper case letters are the angles that are directly opposite of those sides. (see attached reference)

c is easy, c is the hypotenuse, so you can use the following equation to find the hypotenuse:

a² + b² = c²

Rearranged:

c = ± \sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }

Substitute a and b:

c = ±\sqrt{346346^{2} +7777^{2} }

Comes out to ~346433.3 meters.

Now if we use the Law of Sines:

\frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB} = \frac{c}{sinC}

We can use c and a, since we're trying to find what angle A is, so the ratio is set up as:

\frac{346346}{sinA} = \frac{346433.3}{sinC}

Well we know that C = 90, and so sin(90) in degrees (as opposed to radians) is 1. So then the set of equations is now:

\frac{346346}{sinA} = \frac{346433.3}{1}

Cross Multiply to get rid of the fractions:

346346 = 346433.3 * sin(A)

Divide:

\frac{346346}{346433.3} = sin(A)

Using a calculator, if you take the arcsin of that fraction, you will get what angle A is supposed to be:

arcsin( \frac{346346}{346433.3} ) = ∠A = 88.7°
