A first number plus twice a second number is 24. twice the first number plus the second totals 21. find the numbers.

1 answer:

4 0

We do like the following:
Set the first number is a and the second is b.
We have two equations: a+2xb=24, 2xa+b=21
And we have 2xa+4xb=48 or 2xa=48-4xb
So: 48-4xb+b=21 or -3xb=21-48=-27 and we got b=-27:(-3)=9 and a= 6
a=6 and b=9

What is the side length of the eectagkes

dedylja [7]

1. 5 in and 1/3 in: Area = 5/3 in^2

2. 5 in and 4/3 in: Area= 20/3 in^2

3. 5/2 in and 4/3 in: Area=10/3 in^2

4. 7/6 in and 6/7 in: Area = 1 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5 in and 1/3 in

Here,

$Let\\l=5\\w=\frac{1}{3}\\Area=l*w\\=5*\frac{1}{3}\\=\frac{5}{3}\ in^2$

2. 5 in and 4/3 in

Here,

$l= 5\ in\\w=\frac{4}{3}\ in\\Area=l*w\\=5*\frac{4}{3}\\=\frac{20}{3}\ in^2$

3. 5/2 in and 4/3 in

$let\\l=\frac{5}{2}\\w=\frac{4}{3}\\Area= \frac{5}{2}*\frac{4}{3}\\=\frac{20}{6}=\frac{10}{3}\ in^2$

4. 7/6 in and 6/7 in

Let

$l=\frac{6}{7}\\w=\frac{7}{6}\\Area=l*w\\=\frac{6}{7}*\frac{7}{6}\\=1\ in^2$

Hence,

1. 5 in and 1/3 in: Area = 5/3 in^2

2. 5 in and 4/3 in: Area= 20/3 in^2

3. 5/2 in and 4/3 in: Area=10/3 in^2

4. 7/6 in and 6/7 in: Area = 1 in^2

The extreme water slide forms a 20 angle with the tower it leans against 80 feet above the ground find the length of the slide x

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

85.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The extreme water slide forms a 20 angle with the tower it leans against 80 feet above the ground find the length of the slide x

We solve using the Trigonometric function of Cosine

cos y = adjacent/hypotenuse

y = angle = 20°

Adjacent = 80 ft

Hypotenuse = ?

cos 20 = 80/Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 80/cos 20

x = 85.134221798 ft

Approximately = 85.1 ft

Length of the slide = 85.1 ft

Please solve and show all steps

Fofino [41]

The Measure of the Missing Angles can be found by this formula: x+y+z= 180°.
You already know the measure of 1 Angle, which is 30°, right?
You also know that this Triangle is a Right Triangle, so the Square for One Angle indicates that the Angle is 90°.
y= 90°, and z= 30°, and you know that the Total Measure of any Triangle is 180° Total.
90°+30° = 120°, and 180°-120°= 60°, so finally, x= 60°, and y=90°, and z= 30°.
