Answer:

.4 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle problem.  We have one leg as .5 in length and the other leg as 1.2 in length.  The "straight" way to your grandma's house is the hypotenuse.  We need to find that length which will give us the distance straight from your house to their house if you didn't have to go out of your way to avoid the water.  The hypotenuse is found with Pythagorean's Theorem.  It will be filled in and solved as follows:

.5^2+1.2^2=c^2

.25+1.44=c^2

1.69=c^2

and c = 1.3

That's the straight distance.  You had to go out of your way to the tune of .5+1.2 which is 1.7 miles.  You figure out how much shorter it is taking the straight path by subtracting 1.7 - 1.3 which is .4

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

I found the angle by taking the opposite side of the angle, 38, and dividing it by the hypotenuse, 53.

Then I used the inverse sine function on 38/53 to get the angle 45.81, which I rounded to 46.

juan and debbie each earn 9 per hour at their "jobs." Debbie worked five hours more than juan during the week. if juan and debbi
Vaselesa [24]

Using a system of equations, it is found that Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable x: Amount of hours worked by Juan.
  • Variable y: Amount of hours worked by Debbie.

Juan and Debbie each earn 9 per hour at their "jobs", and earned a total of 765 for the week, hence:

9x + 9y = 765

Simplifying the expression by 9:

x + y = 85 -> x = 85 - y.

Debbie worked five hours more than juan during the week, hence:

y = x + 5.

Since x = 85 - y, we replace in the expression:

y = 85 - y + 5.

2y = 90.

y = 45.

Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.

Find the area of following figure...?​
MrRa [10]

Answer:

33600 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The top and bottom horizontal sides are parallel, so this is a trapezoid with bases DC and AB. The height is BC.

area of trapezoid = (a + b)h/2

where a and b are the lengths of the bases, and h is the height.

We need to find the height, BC.

Drop a perpendicular from point A to segment DC. Call the point of intersection E. E is a point on segment DC.

DE + EC = DC

EC = AB = 360 m

DC = 600 m

DE + 360 m = 600 m

DE = 240 m

Use right triangle ADE to find AE. Then BC = AE.

DE² + AE² = AD²

DE² + 240² = 250²

DE² = 62500 - 57600

DE² = 4900

DE = √4900

DE = 70

BC = 70 = h

area = (a + b)h/2

area = (600 m + 360 m)(70 m)/2

area = 33600 m²
