Mathematics

N76 [4]3 years ago

Answer:

The two numbers are 28 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

Let the second number be y

The difference of x and y is x-y=21

The quotient of two numbers is x/y = 4

x-y =21    (This is equation 1)

x/y=4    (This is equation 2)  

By solving equation 2 we will get the value of x.

x/y=4

x=4y (Lets call it equation 3)

Now, put the value of x(equation 3) in (equation 1)

x-y=21

4y-y=21

3y=21

y=21/3

y=7

Now put the value of y in equation 3 to get the value of x

x=4y

x=4(7)

x=28

Solution Set {(x,y)(28,7)}

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 10 by 25 which will give you 40%

2. Some fractions could be different in denominator and numerator so you'll have to make all denominators the same in order to order them. It'll make it easier because the numerator will show which numbers are greater than the other. For example, 1/2 and 3/4, u could convert both to equivalent fractions. Make 1/2 into 2/4 and 3/4 stays the same, 3/4 is greater than 2/4 so it goes first.

3. 2/3, 7/12, 4/9, 1/2, 3/8, 5/24.
It's in this order because their equivalent fractions are,
27/72, 48/72, 36/72, 42/72, 36/72, 15/72.( that's the order they're in in the question)

Explain how trigonometry can be used to determine the height of a cell phone tower.
saul85 [17]
Trigonometry can be used to determine the height of a cell phone tower by using SOH CAH TOA or the Pythagorean theorem. If you look at it as a right triangle you can figure out how tall the tower is. If an angle is given (not a 90°angle) and the value of a side you can figure out all of the sides on the theoretical right triangle. Including the height of the tower.
