The scientist can use only the angle x and the distance y to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun using the cosine function.

cos x = BC / y

Solving for BC

BC = y cos x

BC is the distance between the Earth and the Sun :D

If Jessica has money into savings accounts worry is 5% in the other is 10% if she has $950 more in the 10% account and the total
Lelu [443]

Answer:

5% account = $1,240

10% account = $2,190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the amount of savings in the 5% account is x.

Thus the amount of savings in the 10% account is (x + $950).

We can write the following equation from the interest amount:

[5% x ] + [10% (x + $950)] = $281

5%x + 10%x + $95 = S281

15%x = $186

x = $1,240

There is $1,240 in the 5% account

Therefore, on the 10% account there is $1,240 + $950 = $2,190

Your group has 10 pennies and 10 nickels. Use these pennies and nickels to solve the following problems.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

p=8

n=3

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of pennies=p

number of nickels=n

p+n=11

n=11-p

1*p+5*n=23

p+5(11-p)=23

p+55-5p=23

55-4p=23

4p=55-23=32

p=32/4=8

n=11-8=3

PLEASE HELP, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!
Leokris [45]

Answer:

8,5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the form

x² + y² = (r)²

Is the equation of the circumference

We have for the pool:

x²  +  y²  = 2500      ⇒  x²  +  y²  = (50)²

And for the outside edge of the footpath

x²  +  y²  = 3422,25  ⇒  x² + y²  = (58,5)²

So we obtain the radius of each circumference

For the outside edge of the pool  r₁  = 50 feet

For the outside edge of the footpath r₂ = 58,5  feet

Then the width of the footpath is  58,5  - 50  =  8,5 feet
