Step-by-step explanation:
we know that on a 30 60 90 trianlge the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle is half of the length of hypotenuse.So in this problem
the length of the side opposite the 30 angle is 17/2
talking about exercise on the photo the answer is
8√3 because it is given that the length of the side opposite the 30 anlge is 8 so hypotenuse is 16 we mentioned why before.
Now lets use pythagorean theorem
x^2+y^2=z^2
z is hypotenuse
8^2+y^2=16^2
64+y^2=256
y^2=256-64
y^2=192
y=8√3
Answer:
- 40 popcorns and 90 pretzels sold.
============
Let the number of popcorns is x and pretzels is y.
Set up equations:
- x + y = 130
- 2.5x + 2y = 280
Solve by elimination, multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract from the second equation:
- 2.5x + 2y - 2x - 2y = 280 - 2*130
- 0.5x = 280 - 260
- 0.5x = 20
- x = 20/0.5
- x = 40
Find y:
- 40 + y = 130
- y = 130 - 40
- y = 90
