Answer:

$8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up the equation first.

What do we know:

1. We have 6 friends spliting the costs of the gifts

2. After purchasing the gifts they have $42 in change

3. They originally had $90 to spend.

Equation:

6f + $42 = $90

Next: Subtract the $42 from each side and we are left with:

6f = $48

Divide both sides by 6 and we are left with

f = $8

Since f represented the cost each friend spent our answer is $8.00

In triangle ABC, AC = 12/ (sin30) = 12 / (1/2) = 24
DC = 24-x
DB = DC tan 30 = (24-x) tan30 =(24−x)/√3


In triangle ADB using Pythagorean Theoremx2+((24−x)/√3)2=12^2x2+(24−x)^2/3=12^23x2+(24−x)^2=4324x2−48x+576=4324x2−48x+144=0x2−12x+36=0
x1 = x2 =6

AD = AC - DC = 24- (24-x) = 6

Proper angle for a ladder is about 75° from the ground. Suppose you have a 10 foot ladder. How far from the house should you pla

Alja [10]

Answer:

The base of the ladder is 2.58 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The angle of elevation for a ladder from the ground is 75°.

The length of a ladder, H = 10 foot

We need to find the distance from the house should you place the base of the latter. Let the base of the ladder is b. Using trigonometry,

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{B}{H}\\\\B=H\times \cos\theta\\\\B=10\times \cos(75)\\\\B=2.58\ m$

So, the base of the ladder is 2.58 m.

Basing your answer on the appearance of the figures below, identify whether the mathematical expression is true or false.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

The mathematical expression is false

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets use the figure to answer the question

- There are four triangles in the figure

- Δ ROB and Δ PTA appear congruent because:

# The side RO appears equal the side PT

∴ RO ≅ PT

# The side OB appears equal the side TA

∴ OB ≅ TA

# The side RB appears equal the side PA

∴ RB ≅ PA ⇒ SSS

∴ Δ ROB ≅ Δ PTA

- Δ DEF and Δ YXW appear congruent because:

# The side DE appears equal the side YX

∴ DE ≅ YX

# The side EF appears equal the side XW

∴ EF ≅ XW

# The side DF appears equal the side YW

∴ DF ≅ YW

∴ Δ DEF ≅ Δ YXW ⇒ SSS

- Δ ROB and Δ DEF have different shapes and sizes

∵ Δ ROB not appear congruent to Δ DEF

∴ Δ ROB ≠ Δ DEF

∴ The mathematical expression is false
