The total number of fish bought was 320. And you know she bought two types of fish. The best way to solve this is guess and check. It would be the fastest. So she bought 7 times as many trigger-fish as parrot fish that means the number of trigger-fish bought was 7p. This means 320 = 7p +p. So all you do is take educated guesses for the number of parrot fish and check if it is right. So if she bought 50 parrot fish. 7(50) + 50 = 400. Close but a bit high. Lets keep guessing. 7(35) + 35 = 245. So now we know the answer is between 50 and 35. So lets try 40. 7(40) + 40 =320. That works so we know she bought 40 parrot fish and 280 trigger-fish.

Given
P(1,-3); P'(-3,1)
Q(3,-2);Q'(-2,3)
R(3,-3);R'(-3,3)
S(2,-4);S'(-4,2)

By observing the relationship between P and P', Q and Q',.... we note that
(x,y)->(y,x)  which corresponds to a single reflection about the line y=x.
Alternatively, the same result may be obtained by first reflecting about the x-axis, then a positive (clockwise) rotation of 90 degrees, as follows:
Sx(x,y)->(x,-y)    [ reflection about x-axis ]
R90(x,y)->(-y,x)    [ positive rotation of 90 degrees ]
combined or composite transformation
R90. Sx (x,y)-> R90(x,-y) -> (y,x)

Similarly similar composite transformation may be obtained by a reflection about the y-axis, followed by a rotation of -90 (or 270) degrees, as follows:
Sy(x,y)->(-x,y)
R270(x,y)->(y,-x)
=>
R270.Sy(x,y)->R270(-x,y)->(y,x)

So in summary, three ways have been presented to make the required transformation, two of which are composite transformations (sequence).

Find ∅ round to the nearest degree <br>A. 24° <br>B. 66° <br>C. 64° <br>D. 26°​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cosθ = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{7}{16} , then

θ = cos^{-1} (\frac{7}{16} ) ≈ 64° ( to the nearest degree )
