Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side.

If d is the distance between the earth and the sun, then:

tan x = y / d

Solving for d:

d = y / tan x

The value of x-y is negative, and x and y are both positive. What can you conclude about the values of x
Stolb23 [73]
Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)

A coin contains 1.25 grams of nickel and 3.75 grams of copper, for a total weight of 5 grams. What percentage of the metal in th
otez555 [7]
So,

To find the percentage that the copper comprises, just divide the amount of copper by the total amount of metal in the coin.  In this case, we will change the denominator so that it is 100, which can easily be converted into a percentage, which is really just a fraction out of 100.

\frac{3.75}{5} = \frac{7.50}{10} = \frac{75}{100}

75%

75% of the metal in the coin is copper.
