I can use the angle and the length of JH to find the length of IJ.
To do this, I look at the relationship IJ and JH have to the 52 degree angle. JH is opposite to angle I, and IJ is adjacent to angle I. Because the two side lengths are opposite and adjacent, I use the tangent function to solve this.
Tangent of an angle = the length of the opposite side / the length of the adjacent side. This is just another way to say tan(x)=opposite/adjacent
Now I can fill in what I know...
tan(52)=4.2/x
Now, I want to isolate x.
tan(52) = 4.2/x
x(tan(52))=4.2
x=4.2/tan(52)
Now I put 4.2/tan(52) into a calculator and get x = 3.3 ft
Hope this helps!
Answer:
56 screws
Step-by-step explanation:
So, first we can find how many screws he needs.
So, if he uses 2 steps for 8 screws, and has 14 steps, that means he puts screws in 7 steps ( 14÷2)
then, if he uses 8 screws, each with 8 steps, we can do 8 times 7, which is 56 screws
Is renting a car
company A charges $120 plus 25 dollars per day
company B charges 45 dollars per day
at how many days will the costs be equal
120+25x
x=days
45x
120+25x=45x
subtract 25x from btoh sdies
120=20x
divide both sdie sb 20
6=x
the answer is 6 days
