Answer: there are 70 dimes and 40 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is 10 cents

A nickel is 5 cents

A quarter is 25 cents

Let x represent the number of dimes at the bottom.

Let y represent the number of quarters at the bottom.

The city park employee collected 1,850 cents in nickels, dimes, and quarters at the bottom of a wishing well. If there were 30 nickels, it means that

10x + 25y + 30 × 5 = 1850

10x + 25y = 1850 - 150

10x + 25y = 1700- - - - - - - - -1

There is a combined total of 110 dimes and quarters. It means that

x + y = 110

Substituting x = 110 - y into equation 1, it becomes

10(110 - y) + 25y = 1700

1100 - 10y + 25y = 1700

1100 + 15y = 1700

15y = 1700 - 1100

15y = 600

y = 600/15

y = 40

x = 110 - y = 110 - 40

x = 70

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 17. Find the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle.
cluponka [151]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that on a 30 60 90 trianlge the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle is half of the length of hypotenuse.So in this problem

the length of the side opposite the 30 angle is 17/2

talking about exercise on the photo the answer is

8√3 because it is given that the length of the side opposite the 30 anlge is 8 so hypotenuse is 16 we mentioned why before.

Now lets use pythagorean theorem

x^2+y^2=z^2

z is hypotenuse

8^2+y^2=16^2

64+y^2=256

y^2=256-64

y^2=192

y=8√3
