(A) Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree<span>
Given that the distance of the ground is 9ft.
Length of the plank is 41 ft

In order to get the angle formed between the ground and the foot of the plank,

cos (theta) = ground / plank
cos (theta) = 9 / 41
</span><span>cos (theta) = 0.21951...
</span>theta = cos^-1(<span>0.21951...)
</span><span>theta = 77.3 degrees

</span><span>(b) Find the height above the ground where the plank touches the wall. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
</span><span>
Height = square root (plank^2 - ground^2)
Height = square root (41^2 - 8^2)
</span><span>Height = square root (1600)
</span><span>Height = 40

(A) 77.1 Degrees
(B) 40 feet</span>

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 90. What is the smallest of these numbers? number choice
Natali [406]
3 consecutive even numbers : x, x + 2, x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 90
3x + 6 = 90
3x = 90 - 6
3x = 84
x = 84/3
x = 28...thats gonna be the smallest

x + 2 = 28 + 2 = 30
x + 4 = 28 + 4 = 32

Pls help me i will give brainliest
alexdok [17]

Answer:

120°

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line were to continue down to form a triangle at the bottom, it would cross the line with an interior angle of 70°.  Since we have two of the angles, we subtract them from 180°.

180-70-50=60°

That would be the third interior angle at the top of the triangle.  Angle x is supplementary to that.

180-60=120°

Car A went 60 km in 3/4 hour while a car B went 80 km in 4/5 hour. Which car was faster? How many times faster?
laila [671]

Answer:

Car B would go faster because it goes 20 more km and that would mean that it drove that fast in 48 minutes, for 1/5 of 60 minutes (1 hour) is 12 minutes. As for Car A, that goes 60 km is 45 minutes. The only time difference between the two is 3 minutes, which is 3 minutes longer for Car B, although it goes faster. Car B also goes 20 more km faster.

**Also any Brainliests from the questioner would help :)

*I do hope that this helps!
