Find the length of side AB Give answer to 3 significant figures

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

AB = 8.857 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are given a right angle $\triangle ABC$ in which we have the following things:

$\angle A = 90 ^\circ\\\angle C = 41 ^\circ\\\text{Side }BC = 13.5 cm$

Side BC is the hypotenuse here.

We have to find the side AB.

Trigonometric functions can be helpful to find the value of Side AB here.

Calculating $\angle B$ :

Sum of all the angles in $\triangle ABC$ is $180^\circ$ .

$\Rightarrow \angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ\\\Rightarrow 90^\circ + \angle B + 41^\circ = 180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle B = 49^\circ$

We know that cosine of an angle is:

$cos \theta = \dfrac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\\Rightarrow cos B = \dfrac{AB}{BC}\\\Rightarrow cos 49^\circ = \dfrac{AB}{13.5}\\\Rightarrow AB = 13.5 \times 0.656\\\Rightarrow AB = 8.857 cm$

So, side AB = 8.857 cm .

After adding an 8-pound box with 6 identical boxes, the crate weighed 72 boxes

damaskus [11]

After adding 8 students to each of 6 same-sized teams, there were 72 students altogether.

After adding an 8-pound box of tennis rackets to a crate with 6 identical boxes of ping pong paddles, the crate weighed 72 pounds.

The first situation has all equal parts, since additions are made to each team. An equation that represents this situation is 6( x + 8 ) = 72, where x represents the original number of students on each team. Eight students were added to each group, there are 6 groups, and there are a total of 72 students.

In the second situation, there are 6 equal parts added to one other part. An equation that represents this situation is 6x + 8 = 72, where x represents the weight of a box of ping pong paddles, there are 6 boxes of ping pong paddles, there is an additional box that weighs 8 pounds, and the crate weighs 72 pounds altogether.

In the first situation, there were 6 equal groups, and 8 students added to each group. 6( x + 8 ) = 72.

In the second situation, there were 6 equal groups, but 8 more pounds in addition to that. 6x + 8 = 72.

Elena and Jada are 25 miles apart when they start moving toward each other. Elena runs at a constant speed of 6 mph and Jada wal

Setler [38]

Answer:

The Time taken by Elena and Jade to meet up is 2.5 hours

Explanation:

Given,

Elena moves with a speed of 6mph while Jada walks at a speed of 4 mph

Also, Distance can be calculated by the formula

$Distance = Speed * Time$

To find out the Total speed, i.e., speed of both Elena and Jada as both of them are walking in opposite direction we should add the speed of both the persons, if in same direction we should subtract the values

Here it will be: $6 + 4$ = 10mph

Distance apart is given as 25 miles. Substituting the values,

$Distance = Speed * Time$

25 = $10 * time$

Time = 25/10

Time = 2.5 hour

Hence, It will take 2.5 hours to meet up.
