Answer:

d = 80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with angle BCA, tan(BCA) = 30/15 so BCA = 63.43 degrees.

BCA = ECD since they are opposite angles.

tan ECD = d/40

40 tan(63.4degrees) = d

d = 80 ft

Alternatively, you can use similar triangles since the angles are the same, BCA = ECD, CED = CAB, and CBA = EDC. In that case use proportions to get 30/15 = d/40 so 2 = d/40 and d = 80.

Answer:

If two variables are directly proportional, it means that an increase in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding increase in the other variable. If they are inversely proportional, an increase in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding decrease in the other variable.

Looking at the given values, as x is increasing, y is also increasing. The constant of proportionality is

9/3 = 27/9 = 3

Therefore, the relationship is a direct variation and the function to model it is

y = 3x

In a unit circle, ø = 270º. Identify the terminal point and sin ø.
larisa [96]

Answer:

Terminal point (0, -1); sin Ø = -1 ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the unit circle, Ф is the angle between the terminal side and the positive part of the x-xis

  • The terminal point on the positive part of the x-axis is (1, 0),which means Ф = 0° or 360° and cosФ = 1, sinФ = 0
  • The terminal point on the positive part of the y-axis is (0, 1),which means Ф = 90° and cosФ = 0, sinФ = 1
  • The terminal point on the negative part of the x-axis is (-1, 0),which means Ф = 180° and cosФ = -1, sinФ = 0
  • The terminal point on the negative part of the y-axis is (0, -1),which means Ф = 270° and cosФ = 0, sinФ = -1

In a unit circle

∵ Ф = 270°

→ By using the 4th rule above

∴ The terminal point is (0, -1)

∴ sinФ = -1

∴ Terminal point (0, -1); sin Ø = -1

George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair. write an inequality to find the minimum number of socks h
Anit [1.1K]

The inequality <u>6s - 300 > 210</u> represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.

In the question, we are given that George bought socks for $300.

Therefore, George's total cost = $300.

We assume the number of pairs of socks George sells to be s.

The unit price per pair quoted by George = $6

Therefore, George's total sales = $6s.

We know that the profit over a transaction is given as the difference between sales and costs, that is,

The profit = The total sales - the total costs,

or, profit = 6s - 300.

In the question, we are required to make a profit of more than 210.

This can be shown by the inequality,

6s - 300 > 210.

Thus, the inequality <u>6s - 300 > 210</u> represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.
