Answer:

The answer to your question is 7 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

angle = 70°

force = 20 lb

horizontal component

Process

To solve this problem just imagine a right triangle, where the force is the hypotenuse and the horizontal component is the adjacent side.

1.- Look for a trigonometric function that relates the adjacent side and the hypotenuse.

                   cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse

- Solve for the adjacent side

                   adjacent side = hypotenuse x cosФ

- Substitution

                   adjacent side = 20 x cos 70

- Simplification

                   adjacent side = 20 x 0.342

- Result

                   adjacent side = 6.84 ≈ 7 lb

HELP I REALLY REALLY NEED THIS HELP MEE SUPER EZ 28 POINTS I REALLY NEED THIS I DONT REALLY CARE IF ITS WRONG AT LEAST YOU TRY ;

Answer:

43. I'm not really sure about this one but here's what I got:

The average height of a 4th grader is 58 inches. (Maybe that'll help) Also if it's by the number of kids in the class....I would assume that there are at most 33 kids in the class....I'm not sure what it's asking...sorry :(

46. There are 8 total marbles so if you were selecting a green marble the probability of getting a green marble would be 3/8. If there are 2 blue marbles  then the probability would be 2/8 or 1/4

48. In a deck of cards there are 26 black cards and 26 red cards. Number of event occurrences. Total number of trials. For example, if a dice is rolled 6000 times and the number '5' occurs 990 times, then the experimental probability that '5' shows up on the dice is 990/6000 = 0.165. That should help with this one

49. Since there are 6 sides and each side is a number 1-6, the probability of rolling a six is 1:6

50. This one is easy if you read the question right. There are no pink marbles....

I'm not that great with graphs

I hope this helped a little....some of the questions I didn't understand.

-25+t=-44 solve using addition principle. The solution is t=
love history [14]

Explanation:

First, add by 25 both sides of an equation.

-25+t+25=-44+25

Then, simplify by equation and add/subtract by the numbers.

44-25=19

*The answer must be have a negative sign.

\boxed{t=-19}

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Have a great day!

Line AB passes through A(-3, 0) and B(-6, 5). What is the equation of the line that passes through the origin and is parallel to
amid [387]

parallel means "same slope (m)"

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{0 - 5}{-3 - (-6)} = \frac{-5}{-3 + 6} = \frac{-5}{3}

Now, input the point (0, 0) and the slope (\frac{-5}{3}) into the Point-Slope formula:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 0 = \frac{-5}{3}(x - 0)

    y = \frac{-5}{3}x

 3y = -5x    <em>multiplied both sides by 3</em>

 0   = -5x - 3y  <em>subtracted 3y from both sides</em>

Answer: C
