check the picture below.


bearing in mind that there are 60 minutes in 1 degree, then 16°18' will be 16.3° and likewise 48°51' will be 48.85° if we convert those to degrees only.


\bf y=\cfrac{200}{tan(48.85^o)}~\hspace{10em}x=\cfrac{200}{tan(16.3^o)}-y \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{200}{tan(16.3^o)}-\cfrac{200}{tan(48.85^o)}\implies x\approx 683.95 - 174.78\implies x\approx 509.17

Kylie is planning to provide online science and Chinese language tutoring sessions. The sciences
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

120 ≤ 20c + 40s

Step-by-step explanation:

(Assuming her name is Kylie, who is giving 40 minute science sessions and 20 minute Chinese sessions.)

The unit for time will be minutes.

Write an equation for time needed for science sessions

40s = t

Write an equation for time needed for Chinese sessions

20c = t

Combine the two equations for the total time.

20c + 40s = total time

She does not want the total time to be more than two hours.

Convert two hours to minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour.

2h * 60mins = 120 mins

Therefore t ≤ 120. Include this into the equation.

120 ≤ 20c + 40s

Solve for r. Show your work!<br> 12 =R– (34 – 2)<br><br> Helpppp!!
amm1812

Answer:

r = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

12 = r - (34 - 2)

Solve for r

___________

To solve, we need to isolate r.

Distribute the negative sign with the numbers within the parenthesis :

12 = r - 34 + 2

Add like terms :

12 = r - 32

Add 32 to both sides :

44 = r

r = 44

Find the product of the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of 18 and 42.
Evgesh-ka [11]

The product of the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of  two numbers is always the product of the two numbers. So, you have

\text{lcm}(18,42)\times\text{GCD}(18,42)=18\times 42=756
