Answer:

c = 27.9

B = 62.13°

C = 89.90°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following values:

A= 121.59°, a = 27.9 cm, b = 52.6 cm

a) Finding side c

We would use Pythagoras Theorem

c² = a² + b²

c = √(a² + b²)

c = √(27.9² + 52.6²)

c = 59.54cm

≈ Approximately = 59.5cm

b) Finding B

We would be using Cosine rule to find Angle B

Cos B = a² + b² - c²/2ab

B = arc cos ( a² + c² - b²/2ac)

B = arc cos( 27.9² + 59.5² - 52.6²/ 2 × 27.9 × 59.5)

B = 62.13268°

B = 62.13°

c) Finding C

We would be using Cosine rule to find Angle C

Cos C = a² + b² - c²/2ab

C = arc cos ( a² + b² - c²/2ab)

C = arc cos( 27.9² + 52.6² - 59.5²/ 2 × 27.9 × 52.6)

C = 89.9°

Find the Y-coordinate of point P that lies 1/3 along segment RS, where R (-7, -2) and S (2, 4).

QveST [7]

Solution:

Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:

To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

$\begin{gathered} RP:PS \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3} \\ thus,\text{ we have} \\ 1:2 \end{gathered}$

Using the section formula expressed as

$[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]$

In this case,

$\begin{gathered} m=1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}$

where

$\begin{gathered} x_1=-7 \\ y_1=-2 \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}$

Thus, by substitution, we have

$\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is

$0$

In order for RECT to be a rectangle, what must the value of x be?

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If RECT is a rectangle, each of its interior angles are right angles, 90°. Since ∠RTC is split into two angles, the sum of the two angles must be 90°. (Angles that add to 90° are called complementary angles).

∠RTC = ∠RTE + ∠ETC Formula for complementary angles

90 = 2x + 6 + 42 Substitute the angles

90 = 2x + 48 Combined like terms to simplify

Now isolate "x" to solve

90 - 48 = 2x + 48 - 48 Subtract 48 from both sides

42 = 2x

42/2 = 2x/2 Divide both sides by 2

x = 21

Therefore x is 21.

Simplify 3 - b (7b + 2) + 3b - (11 - b)

nirvana33 [79]

Answer: -7b² + 2b - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

3 - b (7b + 2) + 3b - (11 - b)

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property if necessary

=3 - b · 7b - b · 2 + 3b - 11 + b

=3 - 7b² - 2b + 3b - 11 + b

Combine like terms

=-7b² + (3b - 2b + b) + (3 - 11)

= $\boxed{-7b^2+2b-8}$

Hope this helps!! :)

A camp counselor starts from home and drives to a campground. The expression 130−60t represents the distance, in miles, the coun

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The value 60 represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Function

The linear relationship between two variables d and t can be written in the form

$d=mt+b$

Where m is the slope (or rate of change of d with respect to t) and b is the y-intercept or the point where the graph of the line crosses the y-axis

The function provided in our problem is

$d=130-60t$

Where d is the distance in miles the counselor still needs to drive after t hours. Rearranging the expression:

$d=-60t+130$

Comparing with the general form of the line we can say m=-60, b=130. The value of -60 is the slope or the rate of change of d with respect to t. Since we are dealing with d as a function of time, that value represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving. It's negative because the distance left to drive decreases as the time increases
