Answer:

The distance between the Earth and the Moon is equal to the distance between the Sun and the Moon multiplied by the sine of angle x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

EM -----> the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

y -----> the distance between the Sun and the Moon.

we know that

In the right triangle of the figure

The sine of angle x is equal to divide the opposite side to angle x (distance between the Earth and the Moon.) by the hypotenuse ( distance between the Sun and the Moon)

so

sin(x)=EM/y

Solve for EM

EM=(y)sin(x)

therefore

The distance between the Earth and the Moon is equal to the distance between the Sun and the Moon multiplied by the sine of angle x

You plan to go snowboarding this weekend in Pennsylvania. The resort charges $15.75 per hour in addition to a $25 deposit to ren
erica [24]

Answer:

$88 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of hours

y = total cost to rent the snowboard.

$25 is already guaranteed

25 + 15.75x = y

since it is 4 hours from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. you put 4 into x.

25+15.75(4) = y

88 = y
