Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number by n.

Then:

8(n + 18) = 16

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:

8n + 144 = 16

Subtracting 144 from both sides results in 8n = -128.

Dividing both sides by 8:  n = -128/8  =  -16

The number was -16.

Find the exact value of cos 120° in simplest form with a rational<br> denominator.
IRINA_888 [86]

Given:

cos 120°

To find:

The exact value of cos 120° in simplest form with a rational  denominator.

Solution:

We have,

\cos 120^\circ

It can be written as

\cos 120^\circ=\cos (90^\circ+30^\circ)

\cos 120^\circ=-\sin 30^\circ             [\because \cos (90^\circ-\theta)=-\sin \theta]

\cos 120^\circ=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)             [\because \sin 30^\circ=\dfrac{1}{2}]

\cos 120^\circ=-\dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, the exact value of cos 120° is -\dfrac{1}{2}.

a flagpole casts a shadow 160 feet long. At the same time, a boy standing nearby who is 5 feet tall casts a shadow 20 feet long.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The flagpole is 40 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are looking for the height of the flagpole. Let <em>h</em> represent this height.

Boy - 5 feet in height and casts a 20-foot shadow

Flag pole - <em>h</em> feet in height and casts a 160-foot shadow

The relationship looks something like this:

5 : 20 :: h : 160

or

\frac{5}{20} =\frac{h}{160}

Now, we can cross multiply to find h!

20h=800\\h=40

So, the flagpole is 40 feet tall
