Answer:

Eldest: $335,500 Middle: $182,750 Youngest: $167,750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the amount of money the youngest sibling received as x.

The amount the eldest received can be represented as: 2x

The amount the middle sibling received can be represented as: x + 15,000

If we combined the amount of money that all of the siblings received, it would be $686,000. We can write this as an equation:

686,000 = 2x + (x + 15,000) + x

Now let's solve for x. First, combine like terms

686,000 = 4x + 15,000

Subtract 15000 from both sides to isolate the 4x

671,000 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x

167,750 = x

Now we know that the amount of money the youngest received is $167,750. We can use this amount to figure out how much the other two siblings received.

Eldest: 2 * 167,750 = $335,500

Middle: 167,750 + 15,000 = $182,750

We can check to make sure these answers are correct by adding them all together to make sure that they equal 686,000

167,750 + 335,500 + 182,750 = 686,000

In ΔUVW, the measure of ∠W=90°, WV = 39, UW = 80, and VU = 89. What ratio represents the cosine of ∠U?

kumpel [21]

Answer:

cos ∅ = 80/89

Step-by-step explanation:

As required from the question the picture below represent a triangle UVW . The angle W = 90°. The sides WV = 39 , VU = 89 and UW = 80. The triangle forms a right angle triangle .

Such triangle one can establish trigonometric relationship using the SOHCAHTOA principle.

The question requested us to find the ratio that represent the cosine of ∠U.

The ∠U is represented as ∅ .

Therefore,

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

adjacent = 80. The adjacent side is the non hypotenuse side that is next to the given angle.

hypotenuse = 89 . Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle and it opposite the right angle.

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos ∅ = 80/89
