Answer:

x = B. 18 ROOT 2/ROOT 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two Triangles in the diagram above.

Step 1

We would solve for Triangle A First

Using Trigonometric function Cosine

cos θ = adjacent /hypotenuse

θ = 30°

Adjacent = 9 units

Hypotenuse = unknown

cos 30= 9/ Hypothenuse

Cross Multiply

cos 30 × Hypotenuse = 9

Hypotenuse = 9 / cos 30

cos 30 in surd form = √3/2

Hypotenuse = 9/√3/2

Hypotenuse = 9 × 2/√3

= 18/√3 units

Step 2

We would solve for the upper triangle = Triangle B

We are looking for x

θ = 45°

For Triangle B, the Hypotenuse we solved for in Triangle A is equivalent to the adjacent in Triangle B

Therefore ,

Hypotenuse for Triangle A = Adjacent side for Triangle B

θ = 45°

Adjacent = 18/√3 units

Hypotenuse = x = unknown

We would solve for this using Trigonometric function cosine

cos 45 = 18/√3 units / Hypothenuse

Cross Multiply

cos 45 × Hypotenuse = 18/√3 units

Hypotenuse = 18/√3 units / cos 45

cos 45 in surd form = 1/√2

Subtituting, we have

Hypotenuse (x) = 18/√3 units / 1/√2

Hypotenuse (x) = 18/√3 units ×√2/1

= 18× √2/ √3 units

= 18 √2/√3 units

Therefore x = Option B. 18 ROOT 2/ROOT 3

Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cmcm wide by 5.6-cmcm long. Your calculator answer would be 11

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

12 square cm correct to 2 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Rectangle = L X B = 2.1 X 5.6 = 11.76 square cm

To round your result to 2 significant figure, we start counting from the left from the first non-zero digit.

The first two digits are 11 but because the number after is 7 (greater than 4), we round up to 12.

11.76 square cm = 12 square cm correct to 2 significant figures

Problem 9

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

3:36PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Leon starts at 12PM with 12 gallons of gas, and after 2 hours he has used 5 gallons of gas. This means that every 2 hours he uses 5 gallons of gas.

Next we will find at what point Leon will stop to get gas. Since he will stop when the tank is at $\frac{1}{4}$ capacity, we can use the equation:

$\frac{1}{4} * 12 = \boxed{3}$

This shows $\frac{1}{4}$ of his tank's capacity ( $12$ ) is equal to $3$ gallons. This means he will stop for gas when $3$ gallons are remaining.

Now we need to find how many gallons of gas he uses, but as a unit rate. (This will allow us to find what time Leon will stop to get gas.) To find the unit rate, we will need to find how many gallons of gas he uses per hour.

$\frac{\mbox{5 gallons}}{\mbox{2 hours}} = \frac{\mbox{2.5 gallons}}{\mbox{1 hours}}$

This is a simple proportion, and now we know he uses $2.5$ gallons of gas per hour.

Now we can how many hours of gas Leon has left.

He has $7$ gallons of gas left at 2PM, so we can divide to find how many hours left of gas he has.

$\frac{7-3}{2.5} = 1.6$

The $7-3$ is because Leon doesn't stop when his tank is empty, he stops $3$ gallons earlier. We are dividing by $2.5$ because that is how much gas he uses per hour, meaning the result of this division ( $1.6$ ) is how many hours he has left.

Now we can solve for what time Leon will stop to get gas.

12PM + $2$ hours of driving + the remaining $1.6$ hours = 3:36PM

( $1.6$ hours is equal to 1 hour and 36 minutes)

Therefore, Leon will stop for gas at 3:36PM

A rectangular vegetable patch has a perimeter of 36 meters and an area of 80 square meters. What are the dimensions of the veget

hjlf

Answer: 5 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 ( L + W)

18 = 2(L + W) divide through by 2

9 = L + W

9 - L = W

Area = L * W

20 = L (9 - L)

20 = 9L - L^2

L^2 - 9L + 20 = 0 factor

(L - 5) (L - 4) = 0

Set both factors to 0 and solve for L

L = 5 and L = 4
