Answer: R = 34

Step-by-step explanation: In physics this is Ohm's Law, where voltage = current x resistance. Thus, an electrical circuit would be V = 17 x 10, or V = 170 volts. Now, in a real circuit, if the voltage remains constant and the current changes, the resistance will change proportionally. In this case it would be 170 = R x 5, or R = 170/5 = 34 ohms. In the same way, adding resistance to a circuit with a fixed voltage reduces the current through the circuit.

In the case of a simple stated inverse proportional relationship we can simply write the current ratio as 17/5. Then the corresponding changed resistance ratio would be 10/R. The INVERSE is R/10 so the equation is 17/5 = R/10 ; R = 10(17/5) ; R = 170/5

The ratio of the measures of three angles is 3:8:9. find the measure of each angle of the triangle.
MAXImum [283]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that the ratio of the measures of the three angles is 3:8:9

2. The sum of the interior angle of a triangle is 180degrees

3. Let's say that the measure of each angle is x multiplied by the ratio. Therefore, you can write the following equation and solve for x:

3x+8x+9x=180\\ x=9

4. Therefore, the measure of each angle is:

3(9)=27degrees\\ 8(9)=72degrees\\ 9(9)=81degrees

The answer is: 27degrees, 72degrees,81degrees

Find the m∡B to the nearest tenth of a degree if cos B = 0.8926 and ∡B is an acute angle
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

26.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side of the triangle in which the angle is formed to the hypotenuses side of the triangle. The cosine of the angle gives the ratio of these sides. However, the arc cosine of the ratio gives the angle measured in degrees.

If cos B = 0.8926

then arc cosine 0.8926  which may be expressed as cos-1 0.8926 will give the value of B.

B = cos-1 0.8926

= 26.8°
