Determine XY
To solve for XY, we make use of the tan function, which states that:
tan\theta = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}tanθ=
Hypotenuse
Opposite
In this case:
tan\ 60= \frac{YZ}{XY}tan 60=
XY
YZ
Substitute 4 for YZ
tan\ 60= \frac{4}{XY}tan 60=
XY
4
Make XY the subject
XY= \frac{4}{tan\ 60}XY=
tan 60
4
tan\ 60 =\sqrt 3tan 60=
3
So, the expression becomes:
XY = \frac{4}{\sqrt 3}XY=

Rationalize:
XY = \frac{4 * \sqrt 3}{\sqrt 3 * \sqrt 3}XY=

Well, its like this:
350/100 would be: 350 divide by 100, then you get: 3.5
So 100 times 3 is 100. so it is:
3 50/100 then it simplafies to:
<em><u>3 1/2</u></em>
(3 and one half)
Answer:
2 tons and 1824 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Ton= 2,000 pounds
We know that 2,000 will go into 5824 twice, resulting in 4,000. Subtract 4,000 from 5,284, and you will have an answer of 1284. 1,284 does not go into a ton, therefore you have a remainder of 1,284 pounds.
