Answer:

The lenthts of the ropes, as per the figure attached, are

  • <u>27 ft </u>(rope A) and
  • <u>32ft</u> (rope B)

Explanation:

See the figure attached for any reference.

We can find the lengths of both ropes using the law of sines.

<u>1. Rope A:</u>

   \dfrac{RopeA}{sin42\º}=\dfrac{40ft}{sin86\º}\\ \\\\\\RopeA=40ft \times \dfrac{sin42\º}{sin86\º}=26.8ft\approx 27ft

<u>2. Rope B</u>

First, calculate the included angle: 180º - 86º - 42º = 52º

Now use the law of sines:

\dfrac{RopeB}{sin52\º}=\dfrac{40ft}{sin86\º}\\ \\\\\\RopeB=40ft \times \dfrac{sin52\º}{sin86\º}=31.6ft\approx 32ft

Solve for t<br><br> 4/3 = t/7
Mumz [18]

Answer:

\frac{28}{3}=t

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{t}{7}

Use cross products to simplify the equation. Multiply the denominator of the second fraction by the numerator of the first fraction, and the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second,

(4)(7) = (3)(t)

Simplify,

28=3t

Inverse operations,

\frac{28}{3}=t

Could someone please tell me on how to get the correct answer,, i know it shows the correct answer, but i need to know how to ge

You have:  y=0.73x+1.  Compare this to the equation of a straight line (in slope-intercept form).  The slope, m, is 0.73.  The y-intercept, b, is 1.

9/16x = 3/4 how do you do it if you’re solving for x
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x=\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we have 2 fractions equal to each other, we first cross multiply, then take variables to one side and numbers to other side and use basic algebra to solve for the variable [here, it is x].

The process is shown below:

\frac{9}{16x}=\frac{3}{4}\\9*4=16x*3\\36=48x\\x=\frac{36}{48}=\frac{3}{4}

So, x = 3/4
