Change the fraction into a decimal
Answer:
B. 31.4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find x, the hypotenuse, we need to use sin because we have been given the <u>opposite</u> (the side opposite the angle 35°) and we need to work out the <u>hypotenuse</u> (the longest or <em>slanted</em> side):
SOH, CAH, TOA
sin(θ) = opposite ÷ hypotenuse
Sub in the values (we don't know the hypotenuse so i've called it x):
sin(35) = 18 ÷ x (multiply both sides by x)
x × sin(35) = 18 (divide both sides by sin(35))
x = 18 ÷ sin(35) = 31.38204...
x ≈ 31.4
Hope this helps!
To do this problem you would first need to factor out a variable, which in this case I would want to do the first equation because it is isolated. Now the equations would look like this:
x = -2y - 1
4x - 4y = 20
Since we know that x is now equal to -2y - 1 we can plug it in to the x value in the second equation:
4 (-2y -1) - 4y = 20
-8y -4 - 4y
-12y - 4 = 20
-12y = 24
y = -2
Now that we know the y value plug the y value to one equation to find the x, I will be using the first equation
x + 2(-2) = -1
x - 4 = -1
x = 3
Solutions:
y = -2
x = 3
