Answer:

$14\ pounds$

Below is the procedure that was used to find the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "e" the weight in pounds of the elephant and "c" the weight in pounds of the cat.

According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that The weight of an elephant is $10^3$ times the weight of a cat. Based on this we can write the following equation:

$e=10^3c$

If the weight in pounds of the elephant is:

$e=14,000$

We must substitute this value into the equation and then solve for "c" in order to find the weight in pounds of the cat.

Then we get:

$14,000=10^3c\\\\\frac{14,000}{10^3}=c\\\\c=14$

B. Y equals 0, because if you plug it in ( multiply 2 by 9 ) you will get 18-18 which equals 0.

Answer:

<u>TO FIND :-</u>

Length of all missing sides.

<u>FORMULAES TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-</u>

$\sin \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}$
$\cos \theta = \frac{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}$
$\tan \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}$

<u>SOLUTION :-</u>

1) θ = 16°

Length of side opposite to θ = 7

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \sin 16 = \frac{7}{x}$

$=> \frac{7}{x} = 0.27563......$

$=> x = \frac{7}{0.27563....} = 25.39568.....$ ≈ 25.3

2) θ = 29°

Length of side opposite to θ = 6

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \sin 29 = \frac{6}{x}$

$=> \frac{6}{x} = 0.48480......$

$=> x = \frac{6}{0.48480....} = 12.37599.....$ ≈ 12.3

3) θ = 30°

Length of side opposite to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 11

$=> \sin 30 = \frac{x}{11}$

$=> \frac{x}{11} = 0.5$

$=> x = 0.5 \times 11 = 5.5$

4) θ = 43°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 12

$=> \cos 43 = \frac{x}{12}$

$=> \frac{x}{12} = 0.73135......$

$=> x = 12 \times 0.73135.... = 8.77624....$ ≈ 8.8

5) θ = 55°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 6

$=> \cos 55 = \frac{x}{6}$

$=> \frac{x}{6} = 0.57357......$

$=> x = 6 \times 0.57357.... = 3.44145....$ ≈ 3.4

6) θ = 73°

Length of side adjacent to θ = 8

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \cos 73 = \frac{8}{x}$

$=> \frac{8}{x} = 0.29237......$

$=> x = \frac{8}{0.29237.....} = 27.36242.....$ ≈ 27.3

7) θ = 69°

Length of side opposite to θ = 12

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

$=> \tan 69 = \frac{12}{x}$

$=> \frac{12}{x} = 2.60508......$

$=> x = \frac{12}{2.60508....} = 4.60636....$ ≈ 4.6

8) θ = 20°

Length of side opposite to θ = 11

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

$=> \tan 20 = \frac{11}{x}$

$=> \frac{11}{x} = 0.36397......$

$=> x = \frac{11}{0.36397....} =30.22225....$ ≈ 30.2

Five workers dig a trench 5 yards long in 5 hours. How many workers are needed to dig a 100 yards long in 100 hours?

Pavlova-9 [17]

I think it would require 100 workers since 1 worker digs up 1 yard.

Hope this helps.
