An electrician sent Bonnie an invoice in the amount of 'a' dollars for 6 hours of work that was done on Saturday. The electricia

n charges a weekend fee 'f' in addition to an hourly rate 'r'. Bonnie knows what the weekend fee is. Write a formula Bonnie can use to find 'r', the rate the electrician charges per hour.

Answer:

(a-f)/6 = r

Step-by-step explanation:

The total Bonnie must pay is the weekend fee plus the hourly rate times the hours worked

Cost = weekend fee * hourly rate* hours

hours = 6

weekend fee =f

hourly rate = r

Cost = a dollars

Substituting in what we know

a = f+ 6r

We want to solve for r

Subtract f from each side

a-f =f-f +6r

a-f = 6r

Divide each side by 6

(a-f)/6 = 6r/6

(a-f)/6 = r

1. Consider the right triangle ABC given below.
lbvjy [14]
#1) 
A) b = 10.57
B) a = 22.66; the different methods are shown below.
#2)
A) Let a = the side opposite the 15° angle; a = 1.35.
Let B = the angle opposite the side marked 4; m∠B = 50.07°.
Let C = the angle opposite the side marked 3; m∠C = 114.93°.
B) b = 10.77
m∠A = 83°
a = 15.11

Explanation
#1)
A) We know that the sine ratio is opposite/hypotenuse.  The side opposite the 25° angle is b, and the hypotenuse is 25:
sin 25 = b/25

Multiply both sides by 25:
25*sin 25 = (b/25)*25
25*sin 25 = b
10.57 = b

B) The first way we can find a is using the Pythagorean theorem.  In Part A above, we found the length of b, the other leg of the triangle, and we know the measure of the hypotenuse:
a²+(10.57)² = 25²
a²+111.7249 = 625

Subtract 111.7249 from both sides:
a²+111.7249 - 111.7249 = 625 - 111.7249
a² = 513.2751

Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √513.2751
a = 22.66

The second way is using the cosine ratio, adjacent/hypotenuse.  Side a is adjacent to the 25° angle, and the hypotenuse is 25:
cos 25 = a/25

Multiply both sides by 25:
25*cos 25 = (a/25)*25
25*cos 25 = a
22.66 = a

The third way is using the other angle.  First, find the measure of angle A by subtracting the other two angles from 180:
m∠A = 180-(90+25) = 180-115 = 65°

Side a is opposite ∠A; opposite/hypotenuse is the sine ratio:
a/25 = sin 65

Multiply both sides by 25:
(a/25)*25 = 25*sin 65
a = 25*sin 65
a = 22.66

#2)
A) Let side a be the one across from the 15° angle.  This would make the 15° angle ∠A.  We will define b as the side marked 4 and c as the side marked 3.  We will use the law of cosines:
a² = b²+c²-2bc cos A
a² = 4²+3²-2(4)(3)cos 15
a² = 16+9-24cos 15
a² = 25-24cos 15
a² = 1.82

Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √1.82
a = 1.35

Use the law of sines to find m∠B:
sin A/a = sin B/b
sin 15/1.35 = sin B/4

Cross multiply:
4*sin 15 = 1.35*sin B

Divide both sides by 1.35:
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = (1.35*sin B)/1.35
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = sin B

Take the inverse sine of both sides:
sin⁻¹((4*sin 15)/1.35) = sin⁻¹(sin B)
50.07 = B

Subtract both known angles from 180 to find m∠C:
180-(15+50.07) = 180-65.07 = 114.93°

B)  Use the law of sines to find side b:
sin C/c = sin B/b
sin 52/12 = sin 45/b

Cross multiply:
b*sin 52 = 12*sin 45

Divide both sides by sin 52:
(b*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 45)/(sin 52)
b = 10.77

Find m∠A by subtracting both known angles from 180:
180-(52+45) = 180-97 = 83°

Use the law of sines to find side a:
sin C/c = sin A/a
sin 52/12 = sin 83/a

Cross multiply:
a*sin 52 = 12*sin 83

Divide both sides by sin 52:
(a*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 83)/(sin 52)
a = 15.11

Answer:

NO it isnt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Go right of the decimal and throught the different place values. Since the number just right of the decimal is the highest place value, whichever number is greater, holds the greater value.
