Answer: there are 50 humans and 24 horses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of humans in the horse racing area.

Let y represent the number of horses in the horse racing area.

He counted 74 heads. A human has one head and a horse also has one head. It means that

x + y = 74

He counted 196 legs. A human has 2 legs and a horse has 4 legs. It means that

2x + 4y = 196 - - - - - - - -- - -1

Substituting x = 74 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(74 - y) + 4y = 196

148 - 2y + 4y = 196

- 2y + 4y = 196 - 148

2y = 48

y = 48/2 = 24

x = 74 - y = 74 - 24

x = 50

ANSWERRRR QUICKKKK PLEASEEEE
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: sqrt(2)/2  which is choice D

======================================================

Explanation

(3pi/4) radians converts to 135 degrees after multiplying by the conversion factor (180/pi).

The angle 135 degrees is in quadrant 2. We subtract the angle 135 from 180 to find the reference angle

180-135 = 45

Then you can use a 45-45-90 triangle to determine that the ratio of opposite over hypotenuse is sqrt(2)/2

sine is positive in quadrant 2

------------

Alternatively, you can use a unit circle. Refer to the diagram below. In red, I've circled the angle 3pi/4 radians. The terminal point for this angle has a y coordinate of sqrt(2)/2

Recall that y = sin(theta).

Solve for m and n<br> I been stuck on this question for an hour
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

m = 10 , n = 5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

using the cosine and tangent ratio in the right triangle and the exact values

cos45° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } and tan45° = 1 , then

cos45° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{5\sqrt{2} }{m} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ( cross- multiply )

m = 5\sqrt{2} × \sqrt{2} = 5 × 2 = 10

-----------------------------------------

tan45° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{n}{5\sqrt{2} } = 1 , then

n = 5\sqrt{2}
