The main lesson students and teachers should take away from this problem is the correct answer should be: who cares?  The group built their frames with a ruler and a saw, got an exact slope of 10/3 and the angle measures didn't matter one bit.  The best angles measures are the ones avoided.

But trig as taught is all about angles. Gotta find the angle. Here we have a right triangle and we're interested in the angle at the top of the frame, opposite side 3, adjacent side 10, so

\tan \theta = \dfrac{3}{10}

\theta = \arctan \dfrac{3}{10} \approx 16.7^\circ

The perimeter of a rectangular painting is 310 centimeters. If the width of the painting is 56 centim
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The length is 99 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2 (l+w)

310 = 2( l+56)

Divide each side by 2

310/2 = 2/2( l+56)

155 = l+56

Subtract 56

155-56 = l+56-56

99 = l

During batting practice 12 balls were pitched to each player if 9 player came to practice how many balls were pitched
svetoff [14.1K]
Hello,

If 12 balls were pitched to each of the 9 players at practice, then
12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 balls were pitched total.

This is also equal to (12)(9) = 108 balls.

108 balls were pitched during practice.

Hope this helps!
