The diagram shows rays of light from a point source, P, that reach a detector, D, along two paths. One path is a straight line,

while the other is bent by reflection off a mirror. What is the value of b, correct to one decimal place? Assume that all the points in the diagram lie in the same plane.

This can solved using the cosine law which is:
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos θ
Using the values given from the problem
6² = b² + b² - 2bb cos 112.62
And solving for b
36 = 2b² - 2b² cos 112.62
b = 3.6

The answer is the 3rd option.

Ok, make sure you put the powers correctly. I know what you mean but someone else may not. So it's step 2. This is because the 4 doesn't mean add a digit.

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:5. There are 32 students in the class. How many more girls than boys are there?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

There are 8 more girls

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 32 by 8 (since the ratio is 3:5 which is 8 parts (3+5)). You get 4.

Thus, there are 12 boys and 20 because 3*4 is 12 and 5*4 is 20. 12+20 is 32.

Three times a number minus thirty-two
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

3n−32=7n+28

n=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3n−32=7n+28

Step 1: Subtract 7n from both sides.

3n−32−7n=7n+28−7n

−4n−32=28

Step 2: Add 32 to both sides.

−4n−32+32=28+32

−4n=60

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

−4n/−4=60/−4

n=−15
