Hey need some help with this problem, its trigonometry with right triangles using SohCahToa if you can give me a hand it would b
Firlakuza [10]

For the given triangle, the value of x equals 30.9892 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In the triangle, the angle is 40°, the opposite side has a length of 26 units, the adjacent side has a length of x units while the hypotenuse is not given.

To determine the value of x, we determine the value of the tan of the given triangle.

To calculate the tan of angle A we divide the opposite side's length by the the adjacent side's length.

tan A = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacent side}.

Step 2:

The length of the opposite side = 26 units.

The length of the adjacent side = x units.

tan A = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacent side}, tan 40 = 0.8390, tan A = \frac{26}{x} .

0.8390 = \frac{26}{x} , x = \frac{26}{0.8390} = 30.9892.

So x measures 30.9892 units.

A truck with a heavy load drove from Boston to New York at 50 mph. After dropping of the load, it returned from New York to Bost
leva [86]

Answer:

175/3 or 58.333...

Step-by-step explanation:

This is fairly complicated but I will try to make it as simple as possible. I also apologize in advance for how impossible it is to make fractions look like fractions. I also had to insert a bunch of unnecessary parentheses just because the fractions that I can make are relatively inaccurate.

The distance between 2 cities can be represented as d.

Time is d/r if r is rate, so B->NY=d/50

Similarly,NY->B is d/70

Obviously the average speed is 2d/(d/50+d/70), this is just an average time

Now just remove the d and get (d/d)*2/(1/50+1/70)

You can now multiply by the LCM/LCM, which is 350/350.

After calculating you will get 700/12 which is 58.333...(This is how to enter into your RSM browser) Hope this helps. Sorry it is so late.

Rearrange to make x the subject<br> 4(x-3)/a=y
klio [65]

Answer:

Answer: x = a*y + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To make x the subject of the equation, first, we open the bracket

4x - 12/a = y

Then cross multiply:

4x - 12 = a * y ( a*y means the product of the two variables)

Add 12 to both sides of the equation

4x = a*y + 12

Divide both sides by 4 to get the value of x

x = a * y + 12/4

x = a*y + 3
