Answer:

2 sqrt(19)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the angle between the two hands

360 /12 *2 = 60 degrees

We divide by 12 because there are 12 number and multiply by 2 because there are 2 number between 10 and 12

This is a triangle where we know 2 sides and the angle between them.

We can use the law of cosines to determine the third side

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2abcosC

Where C is the angle between sides a and b

a =4 and b = 10  C = 60  and we are looking for side c

c^2 = 4^2 + 10^2 -2*4*10 cos60

c^2 =16+100 - 80cos 60

c^2 = 76

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(76)

c = sqrt(76)

c =sqrt(4) sqrt(19)

c =2 sqrt(19)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (1,-3) and is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21
docker41 [41]

The linear equation that is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21 is:

y = 3*x - 6

<h3>How to find the equation of the line?</h3>

A general line in the slope-intercept form is written as:

y = m*x + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two linear equations are perpendicular if the product between the two slopes is equal to -1.

Rewriting the given line we can get:

x +3y = 21

3y = 21 - x

y = 21/3 - x/3

y = (-1/3)*x + 21/3

Then the slope is (-1/3), if our line is perpendicular to this one, then:

m*(-1/3) = -1

m = 3

our line is:

y = 3*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the fact that our line passes through (1, - 3)

-3 = 3*1 + b

-3 - 3 = b

-6 = b

The line is y = 3*x - 6

The admission fee at an amusement park is $2.00 for children and $6.80 for adults. On a certain day, 388 people entered the park
san4es73 [151]

Answer: 188 children and 200 adults were admitted

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that were admitted.

Let y represent the number of adults that were admitted.

On a certain day, 388 people entered the park. It means that

x + y = 388

The admission fee at the amusement park is $2.00 for children and $6.80 for adults. The admission fees collected on that day totaled $1736. It means that

2x + 6.8y = 1736- - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 388 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 6.8y = 1736

2(388 - y) + 6.8y = 1736

776 - 2y + 6.8y = 1736

- 2y + 6.8y = 1736 - 776

4.8y = 960

y = 960/4.8

y = 200

x = 388 - y = 388 - 200

x = 188
