Step-by-step explanation:
law of sine :
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
with the sides and correlating angles being always opposite to each other.
we are dealing with a right-angled triangle here.
the train track is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle) : 1600 ft.
the horizontal level "connection" from beginning to the end of the track is one leg, and the elevation difference at the end of the track is the second leg.
the 2 legs enclose a 90° angle, as the elevation goes straight up from the horizontal level.
so, we have
1600/sin(90) = elevation difference / sin(1.6)
sin(90) = 1
1600 = elevation difference / sin(1.6)
elevation difference = 1600 × sin(1.6) =
= 1600 × 0.027921639... =
= 44.67462196... ft
≈ 44.7 ft
(A) Bella's TV ratio of sides: 36"/27" = 1.333...
Lenny's: 52"/29.25" = 1.777...
Bella's and Lenny's TVs are NOT similar - their side ratios are different. Bella's is 4:3 while Lenny's is close to 16:9.
(B) Bella's TV has an exact ratio of 4:3 (36/27=4/3) and so is the older type.
Lenny's TV has a ratio of 52"/29.25". Divide both 52 and 29.25 by 3.25 to get 16/9, or 16:9. So Lenny's is the newer type.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.
x+3x+5=21
First, combine like terms. x and 3x are both terms with variables, and can be combined.
(x+3x) + 5=21
4x + 5=21
5 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.
4x+5-5= 21-5
4x= 16
x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4=16/4
x= 16/4
x=4
Let's check our solution. Plug 4 in for x and solve.
x+3x+5=21
4+3(4)+5=21
4+12+5=21
16+5=21
21=21
This solution checks out, so we know our answer is correct.
x is equal to 4, x=4.
