Answer:

The number of wrapping paper sold was 32 and the number of magazines sold was 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of wrapping paper sold

y ----> the number of magazines sold

we know that

The classes sold 72 items

so

x+y=72 ----> equation A

The classes earned $222 for their school

so

3.50x+2.75y=222 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is (32,40)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of wrapping paper sold was 32 and the number of magazines sold was 40

{tan(60) + tan(10)}/{1 - tan(60)*tan(10)} - {tan(60) - tan(10)}/{1 + tan(10)*tan(60)} 

<span>ii) Taking LCM & simplifying with applying tan(60) = √3, the above simplifies to: </span>

<span>= 8*tan(10)/{1 - 3*tan²(10)} </span>

<span>iii) So tan(70) - tan(50) + tan(10) = 8*tan(10)/{1 - 3*tan²(10)} + tan(10) </span>

<span>= [8*tan(10) + tan(10) - 3*tan³(10)]/{1 - 3*tan²(10)} </span>

<span>= [9*tan(10) - 3*tan³(10)]/{1 - 3*tan²(10)} </span>

<span>= 3 [3*tan(10) - tan³(10)]/{1 - 3*tan²(10)} </span>

<span>= 3*tan(30) = 3*(1/√3) = √3 [Proved] </span>

<span>[Since tan(3A) = {3*tan(A) - tan³(A)}/{1 - 3*tan²(A)}, </span>
<span>{3*tan(10) - tan³(10)}/{1 - 3*tan²(10)} = tan(3*10) = tan(30)]</span>

Mark wants to fence 4 rectangular gardens, each with a length of 9 1/4 feet and a width of 4 1/2feet. What is the length of fenc
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

110 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of fencing is four times the perimeter of one garden.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is  

P = 2l + 2w

The total perimeter for all four rectangles is

P = 4× (2l + 2w) = 8l + 8w

Data:

 l = 9¼ ft

w = 4½ ft

Calculation:

P = 8l + 8w = 8×9¼ + 8×4½ = 72⁸/₄ + 32⁸/₂ =(72 + 2) + (32 + 4) = 74 + 36 = 110 ft

The total length of fencing is 110 ft.
