Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Right triangle

hypotenuse = 24

Opposite side = 15

Adjacent side = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the adjacent side using the Pythagorean theorem.

          hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

-Solve for adjacent side

          Adjacent side² = hypotenuse² - opposite side²

-Substitution

           Adjacent side² = 24² - 15²

-Simplification

           Adjacent side² = 576 - 225

           Adjacent side = 351

-Result

           Adjacent side = 18.73°

2.- Find the value of x°

a) Using sin x

              sinx = Opposite side/Hypotenuse = 15/24 = 0.625

                  x = 38.68°

b) Using cos x

              cos x = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse = 18.73/24 = 0.78

              cos x = 38.68°

c) Using tan x

              tanx = Opposite side / Hypotenuse = 15/18.73 = 0.80

             tan x = 38.68°

What are prime numbers
Anika [276]
Prime numbers are those numbers which cannot be divided evenly by any number other than 1 and itself.

For example, 12 is not a prime number, because it can be divided evenly by numbers other than 1 and 12 (namely, 2, 3, 4, and 6).

On the other hand, 13 IS a prime number, because it can only be divided by 1 and 13 evenly.

Just as a sidenote, numbers that are not prime numbers are called 'composite numbers'.

Hope that helped =)

Answer:

A. $6.67

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2y -3x + 8

a) y = - 3/2x + 8/2

a) y = - 3/2x + 4

b) 5y - 15x = -30

b) 5y = 15x - 30

b) y = 15/5x - 30/5

b) y = 3x - 6

3x - 6 = 3/2x + 4

3x -3/2x = 4+6

3/2x = 10

x = (10) / (3/2) = $6.67
