The first step that we need to take before attempting to solve a problem is to understand what the problem is asking us to do and what is given to us to help accomplish that goal. Looking at the problem statement they are asking for us to determine the value of the unknown variable h. We are given one angle along with two sides.
Now that we have completed that step, we can move onto understanding what needs to be done to solve for the unknown. We know that the best option is to use some trigonometry to help us determine the other side. Using Soh | Cah | Toa we are able to determine that we have the opposite side (h) and the hypotenuse (15.6 cm).
<u>Trigonometric functions</u>
<u>Plug in the values</u>
We know have an expression which contains everything that we need to determine the value of the unknown. To help isolate h we need to multiply both sides by 15.6 cm which will isolate h. After that we need to simplify the expression so we can get the value of h.
<u>Multiply both sides by 15.6 cm</u>
<u>Simplify the expression</u>
After simplifying the expression, we are able to eliminate options A and C because they state that h is equal to 8.4 cm. We also know that with the given dimensions we would be able to create two triangles. Therefore, the option that best incapsulates the correct answer would be option B - 9.2, two possible triangles.
Answer: The weight of the iceberg at the end of the day will be 449,100 lbs.
Step-by-step explanation: The question is solved by first calculating what the loss of weight is during the day. The question indicates that it will lose .2%. In order to calculate the loss you need to multiply 450,000 x .002, which equals 900. Next, we subtract the weight loss from the original weight to determine the end of day weight. 450,000 - 900 = 449,100 lbs.
Answer:
A ∩ B = {1, 3, 5}
A - B = {2, 4}
Step-by-step explanation:
The given problem regards sets and set notation, a set can simply be defined as a collection of values. One is given the following information:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {1, 3, 5, 6, 9}
One is asked to find the following:
A ∩ B,
A - B
1. Solving problem 1
A ∩ B,
The symbol (∩) in set notation refers to the intersection between the two sets. It essentially asks one to find all of the terms that two sets have in common. The given sets (A) and (B) have the values ({1, 3, 5}) in common thus, the following statement can be made,
A ∩ B = {1, 3, 5}
2. Solving problem 2
A - B
Subtracting two sets is essentially taking one set, and removing the values that are shared in common with the other set. Sets (A) and (B) have the following values in common ({1, 3, 5}). Thus, when doing (A - B), one will omit the values ({1, 3, 5}) from set (A).
A - B = {2, 4}
