This problem is better understood with a given figure. Assuming
that the flight is in a perfect northwest direction such that the angle is 45°,
therefore I believe I have the correct figure to simulate the situation (see
attached).
Now we are asked to find for the value of the hypotenuse
(flight speed) given the angle and the side opposite to the angle. In this
case, we use the sin function:
sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse
sin 45 = 68 miles per hr / flight
flight = 68 miles per hr / sin 45
<span>flight = 96.17 miles per hr</span>
<span>An equation that would be perpendicular is opposite the reciprocal. </span>
So this is how we are going to solve for the given problem above.
Given that x = number of large boxes
and 120-x = number of small boxes.
So here is the solution:
50x + (120-x)20 = 4050
50x + 2400 - 20x = 4050
30x + 2400 = 4050
30x = 4050 - 2400
30x = 1650 <<divide both sides by 30
x = 55.
Therefore, there are 55 large boxes
120 - x = small boxes
120 - 55 = 65 small boxes.
Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
Let me know if you need more help next time!
To be honest the correct answer would be just 5 because of estimation
so it would be 5.1754386 circle the 5 underline the 1 and Badda bing Badda boom because if something is bigger than 5 you round up one if its lower than leave your beautiful number
No solution! Hope this helped
