Answer: w=12, y=6√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the figure, we can split the triangle into 2 separate triangles. One on the left and one on the left. The triangle on the right is a 30-60-90 triangle. For this triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x in length. This is directly opposite of the right angle. The leg opposite to 30° is x in length. The leg opposite 60° is x√3 in length. Once you know the length of one side, you can plug in x to find the length of the other legs.
In this case, w and y are located on the same 30-60-90 triangle. Normally we would focus on that triangle to find our values, but in this instance, we don't have any values. We have to use the left triangle to find the leg that both triangles share.
The left triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle. For this triangle, the legs opposite of 45° is x in length. The hypotenuse is x√2. Since we know the hypotenuse, we can use it to find x.
x√2=8
x=8/√2
x=5.7 or 6 [Let's use 6 so that it is easier to work with a whole number]
Now that we know x, we can find w and y. Going back to the right triangle, we know the hypotenuse is 2x. We plug in 6 to find the length.
w=2x
w=2(6)
w=12
We know the leg opposite of 60° is x√3. We can plug in x.
y=6√3
Answer: 42
For this situation we will use a ratio to show how many free throws Erin will make. Using the ratio 7:10 represents that Erin will make 7 out of every 10 free throws. You want to know how many free throws she will make if she attempts 60 free throws.
Using ratios we will be able to find how many free throws she will make if she attempts 60.
7:10
14:20
21:30
28:40
35:50
42:60
Basically we kept multiply the right side of the ratio which is 10 by 2 until we were at 60 free throws.
Erin will make 42 free throws if she attempts 60 free throws.
Answer:
58464
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the two numbers
To solve for x, first, we add 3 to the given equation:
Dividing by 2, we get:
Therefore:
Finally, subtracting 5 we get:
