X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
Answer: he purchased 16 ride tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of ride tickets that he purchased.
Let y represent the number of game tickets that he purchased.
Levi purchased a total of 50 ride tickets and game tickets at the amusement park. It means that
x + y = 50
If ride tickets cost $.75 each and game tickets cost $.50 each and the total amount spent on the tickets is $29, it means that
0.75x + 0.5y = 29- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes
0.75(50 - y) + 0.5y = 29
37.5 - 0.75y + 0.5y = 29
- 0.75y + 0.5y = 29 - 37.5
- 0.25y = - 8.5
y = - 8.5/-0.25
y = 34
x = 50 - y = 50 - 34
x = 16
