<span>
2(5+c)=3(5-c)
solve for c
10+2c=15-3c
5c=5
c=1</span>

Find the angle between the given vector in degrees. u=<6, 4>, v=<7, 5> HELPPPPPPPPPP

Paladinen [302]

Recall that

$\vec a\cdot\vec b=\|\vec a\|\|\vec b\|\cos\theta$

where $\theta$ is the angle between the vectors $\vec a,\vec b$ whose magnitudes are $\|\vec a\|,\|\vec b\|$ , respectively.

We have

$\langle6,4\rangle\cdot\langle7,5\rangle=\sqrt{6^2+4^2}\sqrt{7^2+5^2}\cos\theta$

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{31}{\sqrt{962}}\implies\theta\approx88.2^\circ$

Jack can build 1/5 of a shed in the same time Kyle build 5/8 of a shed. How much of a shed will jack have built when Kyle has fi

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kyle can get 5/8 of a shed built in x amount of time, he can get 62.5% done; if Jack can get 1/5 of the shed built in the same time, he can 20% of it done. As a ratio:

$\frac{Kyle}{Jack}:\frac{62.5}{20}$ Kyle gets the whole thing done, 100% of the way, leaving Jack lagging behind at a somewhat lower percentage of the work being done.

$\frac{Kyle}{Jack}:\frac{62.5}{20}=\frac{100}{x}$ and cross multiply to solve for the percentage of the shed built by Jack by the time Kyle gets it completed:

62.5x = 2000 so

x = 32%
