Answer: w=12, y=6√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the figure, we can split the triangle into 2 separate triangles. One on the left and one on the left. The triangle on the right is a 30-60-90 triangle. For this triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x in length. This is directly opposite of the right angle. The leg opposite to 30° is x in length. The leg opposite 60° is x√3 in length. Once you know the length of one side, you can plug in x to find the length of the other legs.
In this case, w and y are located on the same 30-60-90 triangle. Normally we would focus on that triangle to find our values, but in this instance, we don't have any values. We have to use the left triangle to find the leg that both triangles share.
The left triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle. For this triangle, the legs opposite of 45° is x in length. The hypotenuse is x√2. Since we know the hypotenuse, we can use it to find x.
x√2=8
x=8/√2
x=5.7 or 6 [Let's use 6 so that it is easier to work with a whole number]
Now that we know x, we can find w and y. Going back to the right triangle, we know the hypotenuse is 2x. We plug in 6 to find the length.
w=2x
w=2(6)
w=12
We know the leg opposite of 60° is x√3. We can plug in x.
y=6√3
Answer: The correct answer is 18ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be (-1,-4) because -1 is the z factor and -4 is the why then solve to make them equal the same thing.
Answer:
B, C, E
Step-by-step explanation:
Elena’s aunt pays her $1 for each call she makes to let people know about her aunt’s new business. The table shows how much money Diego receives for washing windows for his neighbors.
Select all the statements about the situation that are true.
A. Elena makes more money for making 10 calls than Diego makes for washing 10 windows.
Elena:
$1 = 1 call
$10 = 10 calls
Diego:
27 windows = $30
10 windows = $x
Cross product
27*x = 30*10
27x = 300
x = 300/27
x = $11.11
Statement A not true
B. Diego makes more money for washing each window than Elena makes for making each call.
Diego:
10 windows = $11.11
Each window = $11.11/10
= $1.11
Statement B is true
C. Elena makes the same amount of money for 20 calls as Diego makes for 18 windows
Elena:
20 calls = $20
Diego:
18 windows = 18 × $1.11
= $19.98
Approximately $20 to the nearest whole dollar
Statement C is true
D. Diego needs to wash 35 windows to make as much money as Elena makes for 40 calls.
Diego
35 × $1.11 = $38.85
Approximately $39
Elena:
40 calls = $40
Statement D is not true
E. The equation y = x, where y is the number of dollars and x is the number of calls, represents Elena’s situation.
Statement E is true
