Answer:

$b=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation.

$2*(b+3)-(12)=0$

Then solve!

In algebra, we often study relationships where a change to one variable causes change in another variable. Describe a situation

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

A familiar situation is: cost of books you pay for versus the quantity of books bought.

Cost of books ($) and quantity of books are directly proportionally related in the situation.

The graph will look like the graph in the attachment below.

A quantity (dependent variable) will change constantly in relation to another quantity (independent variable) if the relation is a proportional relationship.

A familiar situation for example can be the cost you pay for books will be directly proportional or dependent on the number of books you bought.

That is:

Number of books = independent variable

Cost ($) = dependent variable

A change in the number of books will cause a change in the cost you will pay for buying books.

This shows a direct proportional relationship between the two quantities.

On a straight line graph, the graph will be a proportional graph showing number of books on the x-axis against cost ($) you pay on the y-axis.

Therefore:

A familiar situation is: cost of books you pay for versus the quantity of books bought.

Cost of books ($) and quantity of books are directly proportionally related in the situation.

Find the measure of the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM)

Burka [1]

Answer:

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the length of the missing side is 5.4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagorean theorem, $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ , where c is the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side), a and b are the lengths of the other two sides. We can use this to solve for the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle shown in your question (the missing side):

$2^{2}+5^{2}=c^{2}$

This simplifies to $29=c^{2}$ . Now to solve for c (the length of the hypotenuse), we just take the square root of both sides of the equation and solve like so:

$\sqrt{29} =\sqrt{c^{2}}$

This simplifies to c≈5.4 in.

A kite is stuck in a 36-ft tree. If the angle of elevation from the kite and the ground is 12, find the length of the kite.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

173.15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let L be the length of kite.

We have been given that a kite is stuck in 36-ft tree. The angle of elevation from the kite and the ground is 12.

We can see from our attachment that kite and tree form a right triangle. height of tree is opposite of angle of elevation and length of kite is hypotenuse.

Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use sine to find the length of kite.

$sin(12)=\frac{36}{L}$
