X+y=57
y=x+15
x+x+15=57
2x=42
x=21
y=21+15
y=36

In ΔABC, the lengths of a, b, and c are 22.5 centimeters, 18 centimeters, and 13.6 centimeters, respectively.

Irina-Kira [14]

Given the values of the three sides of the triangle, we can apply the Cosine Law to find the angles of the triangle. Recall that for we can express the value of c through the equation below.

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcosC$

Rearranging this equation, we can find the value ∠C as shown below.

$\cos C = \frac{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab}$
$C = cos^{-1} (\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab})$

We can apply the same reasoning for finding the value of ∠B as shown.

$B = cos^{-1} (\frac{a^{2}+c^{2}-b^{2}}{2ac})$

Plugging in the values of the sides (see image attached) from the given. It will now be straightforward to compute for ∠B and ∠C.

$C = cos^{-1} (\frac{22.5^{2}+18^{2}-13.6^{2}}{2(22.5)(18)})$
$C \approx 37.19$

$B = cos^{-1} (\frac{22.5^{2}+13.6^{2}-18^{2}}{2(22.5)(13.6)})$
$B \approx 53.13$

Answer: ∠C = 37.19° and ∠B = 53.13°

Soleil and Malvin each work a job. Soleil starts with $700 and makes $100 per day. Malvin starts out with $200 and makes $120 pe

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Soleil and Malvin would have $ 5,000 all together after 13 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Soleil and Malvin each work a job, and Soleil starts with $ 700 and makes $ 100 per day while Malvin starts out with $ 200 and makes $ 120 per day, to determine after how many days will they have at least $ 5000 all together it must be done the following calculation:

5,000 - 700 - 200 = 4,100

200X + 120X = 4,100

320X = 4,100

X = 4,100 / 320

X = 12.8

So Soleil and Malvin would have $ 5,000 all together after 13 days.
