Answer:

See the attached figure which represents the problem.

As shown, AA₁ and BB₁ are the altitudes in acute △ABC.

△AA₁C is a right triangle at A₁

So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = A₁C/AC ⇒(1)

△BB₁C is a right triangle at B₁

So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = B₁C/BC ⇒(2)

From (1) and (2)

∴ A₁C/AC = B₁C/BC

using scissors method

∴ A₁C · BC = B₁C · AC

Suppose you have a coupon for a 20% discount. You buy a game that costs $38. The sales tax rate is 5.5%. Sales tax applies to th

Soloha48 [4]

$32.072 ≈ $32.07
20% of $38 is equal to $7.60
$38 - $7.60 = $30.40
5.5% of $30.40 = 1.672
$30.40 + $1.672 = $32.072

Roma sherry drove 80 miles from her home town to her parents' town. during her return trip, she was able to increase her speed

mr_godi [17]

Answer: Roma Sherry drove 330 miles from her hometown to Tucson. During her return trip, she was able to increase her speed by 11 mph. If her return trip took 1 hour less time, find her original speed and her speed returning home. : Let s = original speed then (s+11) = return speed : Write a time equation: Time = distance%2Fspeed : Original time = return time + 1 hr 330%2Fs = 330%2F%28%28s%2B11%29%29 + 1 : Multiply equation by s(s+11) and you have: 330(s+11) = 330s + s(s+11) : 330s + 3630 = 330s + s^2 + 11s : 0 = 330s - 330s + s^2 + 11s - 3630 : A quadratic equation: s^2 + 11s - 3630 = 0 Factor this to: (s + 66)(s - 55) = 0 Positive solution s = 55 mph is original speed. : Find the time 330/55 = 6 hr, original time and 330/66 = 5 hrs, faster time; confirms our solution.
