Answer: Choice A) 53 degrees

======================================================

Check out the attached image. Notice how I'm only focusing on the triangle. I have erased any other extra lines or unneeded info. We have the opposite side 16 and the hypotenuse 20. We'll use the sine ratio and the arcsine function as well. On your calculator, the arcsine function is "arcsin" or it might be labeled "sin^(-1)"

Let x = measure of angle ACB

sine = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(angle ACB) = (height)/(length of ladder)

sin(x) = 16/20

sin(x) = 4/5

sin(x) = 0.8

x = arcsin(0.8)

x = 53.130102354156

x = 53 when rounded to the nearest whole number

So that's why angle ACB is roughly 53 degrees

Priya bought these items at the grocery store. Find each unit price. A. 12 eggs for $3. How much is the cost per egg? B. 3 pound
Ratling [72]

Answer: A. Cost per egg = $4 .

B. Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D. Cost per apple = $0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: cost per item = (total cost) ÷ (number of items)

A. 12 eggs for $3.

Cost per egg = $ (12÷3) = $4

So, Cost per egg = $4 .

B. 3 pounds of peanuts for $7.50

Cost per pound of peanuts = $ (7.50 ÷ 3)= $ 2.5

So, Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. 4 rolls of toilet paper for $2.

Cost per roll = $ (2 ÷4 ) = $ 0.5

So, Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D.  10 apples for $3.50.

Cost per apple = $ (3.50 ÷ 10)= $ 0.35

So,  Cost per apple = $0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence 1, 0.25, 0.111..., 0.0625, 0.04, you would like to know the next term.

<h3>Terms</h3>

We recognize the decimal values to be equivalent to ...

  1, 1/4, 1/9, 1/16, 1/25

That is, they are the reciprocals of successive squares.

<h3>Next term</h3>

The next term will be the reciprocal of the 6th square:

  1/36 = 0.02777...
