Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago
3 0

The student completed 13 courses with 3 credit hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total credit hours = 59 credits hours

Total courses = 18

Let,

3 credit hours courses = x

4 credit hours courses = y

According to statement;

x+y=18     Eqn 1

3x+4y=59   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

3(x+y=18)\\3x+3y=54\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(3x+4y)-(3x+3y)=59-54\\3x+4y-3x-3y=5\\y=5

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

x+5=18\\x=18-5\\x=13

The student completed 13 courses with 3 credit hours.

an observer on a cliff 1200 feet above sea level sights two ships due East. The angle of depression to the shops are 48° and 33°
ziro4ka [17]
See the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that
in the triangle ABC
tan 48°=AB/AC--------> AC=AB/tan48°------> 1200/tan 48°------> 1080.48 ft

in the triangle ABD
tan 33°=AB/AD---------> AD=AB/tan 33°-----> 1200/tan 33°------> 1847.88 ft

<span>the distance between the ships is AD-AC---> 1847.88-1080.48----> 767.4 ft

the answer is 
</span>the distance between the ships is 767.4 ft<span>

What is the volume of the pyramid?
geniusboy [140]

Answer: 16 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation: The volume of a pyramid is equal to one-third the product of the area of the base and the height:

V=\frac{1}{3}A*h

In this case, the base is a square, so its area is:

A=L^2 where "L" is the lenght of the base edge

So the volume would be:

V=\frac{1}{3}L^{2} *h

V=\frac{1}{3}4^{2} *3

V=16*3/3

V=16cm^{2}
