Answer: Side a equals 19.5 metres
Step-by-step explanation: Consider the right angled triangle as shown in the picture attached. The triangle has been drawn with angle measuring 43 degrees, side c (line AB) measuring 26.7 m and side a (line CB) is yet unknown.
A right angled triangle can be solved if at least one side and an angle are available. In this question we shall apply the trigonometric ratios since we have one angle which shall be the reference angle (43°). Also we have an hypotenuse (the side facing the right angle) and an unknown side which is the adjacent (which lies between the right angle and the reference angle).
Cos B = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Cos 43 = a/26.7
Cos 43 x 26.7 = a
0.7314 x 26.7 = a
19.52714 = a
a ≈ 19.5 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Therefore the length of side a equals 19.5 metres.
Answer:
r = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
= 4r-4
square root both sides
r = 4r-4
r = 2r-2
2r-r = 2
r = 2
Answer:
The number of cards Frank has is 18 and the number of cards his friend has is 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>
Two friends are collecting cards. Frank has 6 more than half the number of cards as his friend. Together they have 42 cards. How many cards does each friend have?
Let
x ----> the number of cards that Frank has
y ----> the number of cards that his friend has
we know that
Together they have 42 cards
----> equation A
Frank has 6 more than half the number of cards as his friend
---> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A
solve for y
<em>Find the value of x</em>
therefore
The number of cards Frank has is 18 and the number of cards his friend has is 24.
