The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5

x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15

If the sin of angle x is 4 over 5 and the triangle was dilated to be two times as big as the original, what would be the value o

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Sin of x does not change

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a triangle is dilated, the angle remains the same as well as the ratio for sides of triangle. For smshapes with dimensions, when shapes are dilated the dimensions has increment with common factor.

From trigonometry,

Sin(x)=opposite/hypotenose

Where x=4/5

Sin(4/5)= opposite/hypotenose

But we were given the scale factor of 2 which means the dilation is to two times big.

Then we have

Sin(x)=(2×opposite)/(2×hypotenose)

Then,if we divide by 2 the numerator and denominator we still have

Sin(x)=opposite/hypotenose

Which means the two in numerator and denominator is cancelled out.

Then we still have the same sin of x. as sin(4/5)

Hence,Sin of x does not change

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

La altura del depósito para que pueda contener 1000 metros cúbicos de agua es 2 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Para calcular el volumen de un prisma rectangular, es necesario multiplicar sus 3 dimensiones: longitud*ancho*altura. El volumen se expresa en unidades cúbicas.

En este caso, se conoce la longitud y el ancho, cuyos valores son 25 y 20 metros. A su vez, se sabe que el depósito de agua debe contener 1000 m³. Entonces, siendo:

Volumen= longitud*ancho*altura

Y reemplazando los valores se obtiene:

1000 m³= 25 m* 20 m* altura

Resolviendo:

1000 m³= 500 m²* altura

$altura=\frac{1000 m^{3} }{500 m^{2} }$

altura= 2 m

<u><em>La altura del depósito para que pueda contener 1000 metros cúbicos de agua es 2 m.</em></u>
