Answer:

27 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem as a system of equations. X is the first number and Y is the second number.

The first equation is x+y = 50 and the second equation is x-y=4

Now we solve the system, using elimination method:

x+y=50

x-y=4

2x = 54

x = 54/2

x = 27

And from any of the equations we can find Y

27 + y = 50

y = 50 - 27

y = 23

Answer:

(b) 15.32

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use your triangle sense to answer this.

The side x will always be shorter than the hypotenuse, 20. This eliminates the last two choices.

If the angle is 45°, then the sides are equal at about 0.707 times the length of the hypotenuse. That would make them 0.707×20 = 14.14. Since the angle is greater than 45°, the opposite side will be greater than 14.14. Only one answer choice fits between 14 and 20: the second choice -- 15.32.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin(50°) = x/20

x = 20×sin(50°) . . . . multiply by 20 to find x

x ≈ 15.32 . . . . . . . . . use your calculator to evaluate
