Since we need an angle measure we have to use an inverse trig ratio, sin^-1, cos^-1, or tan^-1.
Setting up the right triangle we have the opposite and adjacent so we use tan.
tan angle = 28/32
tan^-1 (28/32) = 41 degrees

A machine paints 34o toy boats im 3/4 of an hour how many boats can he make per hour
leonid [27]
Here, we can set up a proportion:

34 ÷ 3/4 = ? ÷ 1
34*1 = 34
34÷3/4 = the time needed to build one toyboat

34/3/4 = 45.3333333333

45.3 repeating is not a whole number, so we need to approximate. 

45 is the closest whole number, 

So.. a machine can paint 45 toy boats per hour. 

I really hope that helped! :)

Bill is 2 years older than his brother Will. If the product of their ages is one less than five times the sum of their ages, how
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Will's age = 9 years

Bill's age = 11years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let will age = x

Bill = x +2 since he is 2 years older

x(x+2) = 5( x +x+2) - 1

Opening brackets

x² + 2x = 5(2x + 2) - 1

x² + 2x = 10x + 10 - 1

x² + 2x = 10x + 9

Collect like terms

x² + 2x - 10x - 9 = 0

x² - 8x - 9 = 0

Solve quadratically using factorisation method by finding two factors of +9 that can add up to give -8, the coefficient of x.

The factors are -9 and +1

x² + x - 9x - 9 = 0

x(x + 1) -9( x +1)

x+1) (x -9) =0

x + 1 = 0 or x -9 =0

x = -1 or 9

Age can not be negative

Therefore,

Will's age = 9 years

Bill's age = x+2 = 9+2 = 11years

I hope this was helpful, please rate as brainliest
