see the attached figure to better understand the problem  

Step 1

<u>Find the value of c</u>

we know that

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

c^{2} =a^{2}+b^{2}

we have

a=505\ mm

b=286\ mm

substitute the values in the formula

c^{2} =505^{2}+286^{2}

c^{2} =336,821

c=580.36\ mm  

Step 2

<u>Find the value of angle A (α)</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

cos(A)=\frac{b}{c} \\ \\cos(A)=(286/580.36)\\ \\A=arc\ cos(286/580.36)\\ \\A=60.48\ degrees

Step 3

<u>Find the angle B (β)</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

angle A and angle B are complementary angles

so

A+B=90

solve for B

B=90-A-------> B=90-60.48-----> B=29.52°

therefore

<u>the answers are</u>

a) the measure of side c is 580.36 mm

b) the measure of the angle α is 60.48°

c) the measure of the angle β is 29.52°

A scale on a blue print drawing of a house shows that 10 1010 centimeters represents 2 22 meters. What number of actual meters a
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

On Blue print 18 centimeters represents <u>3.6 meters</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale is 10 cm = 2 m

We need to find the number of actual meters are represented by 18 1818 centimeters on the blue print.

Solution:

Now we know that;

10 cm = 2 m

so 1 cm = Number of meters in 1 cm.

By using Unitary method we get;

Number of meters in 1 cm = \frac{2}{10}=0.2\ m

Now we know that;

1 cm = 0.2 m

18 cm = Number of meters in 18 cm.

Again by using Unitary method we get;

Number of meters in 18 cm = 0.2\times 18 = 3.6\ m

Hence On Blue print 18 centimeters represents <u>3.6 meters</u>.

Charlotte reads 8 1/3 pages of a book in 10 minutes. What is her average reading rate in pages per minute?
sukhopar [10]
8\frac{1}{3} = \frac{25}{3}

25/3 pages of a book in 10 minutes

Multiply both numbers by the reciprocal of 10, which is 1/10

\frac{25}{3} \times\frac{1}{10} = \frac{25}{30}=\frac{5}{6}

10\times\frac{1}{10}= 1

So, Charlotte reads 5/6 pages of a book in 1 minute.
