So you know that the triangle is a right triangle, and that means that the work is pretty straightforward:
You 'know' the measure of angle x and one of the legs of the triangle, so when trying to find the distance of the second leg of the triangle, use the Tangent function because the tangent of angle x = opposite leg / adjacent leg.
Since we know the measure of the adjacent leg and the angle measure, solve for the opposite leg's measure:
tanx = opposite / y
opposite = y * tanx

This means that the distance between the Earth and the Moon is equal to the tangent of the angle of the sun's rays between the Earth and Moon times the distance between the Sun and Earth.

6x-5y= 0 <br>4×-5y = -10​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

the solution is (5, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please reserve " × " for representing multiplication, and " x " as a variable name.

Starting with the system

6x-5y= 0  

4×-5y = -10​

multiply the 2nd equation by -1.  This results in the system

6x - 5y  = 0  

-4x + 5y = 10

and combining these two equations results in

​ 6x - 5y  = 0  

-4x + 5y = 10

------------------

2x         = 10, or x = 5.

Substituting 5 for x in the first equation, we get

6(5) - 5y = 0, or 5y = 30.  Then y = 6, and the solution is (5, 6).

A coin is tossed a number cube is rolled <br> P(tails and 3)
Anarel [89]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The coin toss and the cube roll are entirely separate and independent events.  To find the joint probability P(tails and 3) we need only find the probabilities of the two events and then multiply them together.

P(tails) = 0.5

P(3) = 1/6, or 0.3333 ....

Desired joint probability = (1/2)(1/3) = 1/6

Simplify Complex Numbers

3.

√250 = √(25 * 10) = √(5^2 * 10) = √(5^2) * √10

… = 5 √10

=>   <em>a</em> = 5

4.

√(-300) = √(-1 * 3 * 100) = √(-1 * 3 * 10^2) = √(-1) * √3 * √(10^2) = <em>i</em> * √3 * 10

… = 10<em>i</em> √3

=>   -<em>a</em> = 10 and <em>b</em> = 3   =>   <em>a</em> = -10 and <em>b</em> = 3

=>   <em>a</em> - <em>b</em> = -10 - 3 = -13

X/x+9 (original fraction)

x+1/ x+10 = 4/13

x+1=4 so x=3 and x+10=13 so again x=3

now that you have the value of x, substitute it into the original fraction to get:
