If the acute angles in a right triangle are in the ratio of 5:4 find the measure of the smallest angle

1 answer:

6 0

Let's create this right triangle. We will call it triangle ABC with angle B as the right angle, angle A being the larger of the angles A and C. If the ratio is 5:4, then it is A:C. 5+4 = 9. The measure of the right angle, angle ABC = 90, and 90 divided by 9 is 10. So angle A is 5 * 10 which is 50 degrees, and angle C is 4 * 10 which is 40 degrees. The smallest angle, angle C, is 40 degrees.

A bicycle store costs $2250 per month to operate. The store pays an average of $40 per bike. The average selling price of each

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given That :

Operation cost = $2250 per month

Purchase price per bike = $40

Average selling price per bike = $70

How many bicycles must the store sell each month to break even ;

Break even point = point at which there is net profit / loss = 0

Let number of bicycles store must sell = x

Operation cost + (purchase price * Number of bicycles) = selling price * Number of bicycles

2250 + 40x = 70x

2250 = 70x - 40x

2250 = 30x

x = 2250 / 30

x = 75

To break even 75 bicycles must be sold

I need help pls it’s a final

algol [13]

Answer:

A.Both of the students did the problem correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

B. Nikki multiplied the fraction(8/3) to the items in the parentheses. Then multiplied each side with 3. Jon did the opposite. He first removed the fraction by multiplying each side by 3. Then he multiplied 2 to the items in the paranthesis.

C. I prefer Jon's method. Fractions can be tricky. I prefer to remove them as soon as possible. This time the items in the paranthesis had whole numbers. But had any of them been a fraction too, the problem would have gotten a lot more tricky and it would very easy to make a mistake or miscalculate something.
