Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can create a right triangle out of this information and then use right triangle trig to solve.
We are given the height of the triangle as the height of the tower which is 150m.
We are given the angle of inclination as the degree the tower makes with the ground which is 72.
From the angle of 72 degrees, which is also known as the reference angle, we have the side across from it (the height) and we are looking for the side adjacent to it (how far from the base of the tower the keys will land). Side opposite the reference angle over side adjacent to the reference angle is the tangent ratio:
and, solving for x,
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode to solve this. Divide 150 by the tan(72) and find that
x = 48.7 m
Speed = distance / time => time = distance / speed
speed = 3x10^8 x 60 = 180x10^8 m per minute
time = 1.5x10^11/180x10^8 = 150x10^9/180x10^8 = 5/6x10 = 8,3 minutes
Answer:
- The equation 2n = p should be 2p = n.
- The actual cost of the onions is $3.00 per pound.
- Potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording "onions cost twice as much as potatoes" is understood to mean the cost per pound of onions (n) is equal to two times the cost per pound of potatoes (2p). Then the appropriate equation would be ...
2p = n
Then the solution is ...
6p +3(2p) = 18
12p = 18
p = 18/12 = 1.50
n = 2p = 2(1.50) = 3.00
__
The equation should be 2p = n; onions cost $3.00 per pound; potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.
Problem One
Find AM
AM = 71.5 - 22 = 49.5
Step Two
State the Givens.
AM = 49.5
MN = 71.5
MB = x
MP = 97.5
Step Three
Set up the Proportion
AM : NM :: x : PM
49.5 : 71.5 :: x : 97.5
Substitute and solve
49.5 / 71.5 = x / 97.5 Cross Multiply
49.5 * 97.5 = 71.5 * x Combine the numbers on the left.
4860.375 = 71.5 * x Divide by 71.5
4860.375 / 71.5 = x
x = 67.98
Problem Two
Remark
This is just a straight application of the Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 10
b = 24
c = ??
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
676 = c^2
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(676)
c = 26 <<<< answer
