Draw a line from 65 to the opposite side you get X and 16 is the hypotenuse
So this sine opposite over hypotenuse

Sin (65)= X/ 16
Sin (65) times 16 is 14.5

The length BC is \boxed{14.5\:\text{cm}}.

Explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle at angle C and the angle A equals 65^{\circ}.  

In a right angled triangle, the two sides which make the right angle or which are perpendicular, are called the base and the height of the right angle triangle. The third side, the largest of the three is called the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.  

From the figure, it is observed that AC is the base, BC is the height and AB is the hypotenuse.

The formula for trigonometric identities \sin(\theta), \cos(\theta) and \tan(\theta), where \theta is the angle between hypotenuse and base, is as shown below.

\sin\theta =\dfrac{\text{Height}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{\text{Height}}{\text{Base}}

Substitute 65^{\circ} for \theta, 16 for hypotenuse and x for height in the formula for sine of angle \theta.

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\sin(65^{\circ} )& = \dfrac{x}{16}\\0.906307787 \cdot 16& = x\\x&=14.5\end{aligned}}

Thus, the length of the side BC is \boxed{14.5\:\text{cm}}.

A store is having a sale on trail mix and jelly beans. For 2 pounds of trail mix and 3 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

  • trail mix: $1.25
  • jelly beans: $3.50 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between double the first purchase and the second purchase is $7 and 2 pounds of jelly beans. Hence a pound of jelly beans is $3.50.

  (4t +8j) -2(2t +3j) = (33) -2(13) . . . . . let t and j represent pounds of trail mix and jelly beans, respectively

  2j = 7 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  j = 7/2 = 3.50

Using that value in the first purchase, we get ...

  2t +3(3.50) = 13

  2t = 13 -10.50

  t = 2.50/2 = 1.25

A pound of trail mix is $1.25.

Thepotemich [5.8K]
For point (1, -2): -2 = -1 - 1 = -2. Therefore, point (1, -2) lies on the graph of the equation.

The graph of the equation is the set of points that are solutions to the equation.

A coordinate pair on the graph of the equation is a solution to the equation.

For the point (0, -1): -1 = -(0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = -1.
Therefore, The point ( 0, −1 ) lies on the graph of the equation.

Franco and Marcia getting high speed Internet access at the same time. Francos provider charges $60 for installation and $42.95
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Franco's provider = 60 + 42.95x

Marshal's provider = 57.95x

Where,

x = number of months

Equate both charges

Franco's provider = Marshal's provider

60 + 42.95x = 57.95x

Subtract 42.95x From both sides

60 + 42.95x - 42.95x = 57.95x - 42.95x

60 = 15x

Divide both sides by 15

60 / 15 = 15x / 15

4 = x

x = 4 Months

Franco and Marshal would have paid the same amount for high-speed Internet service after 4 months
