Answer:

4.09 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shadow cast by a person be x m.

$\tan \: 24 \degree = \frac{height \: of \: person}{length \: of \: the \: shadow} \\ \\ 0.4452286853 = \frac{1.82}{x} \\ \\ x = \frac{1.82}{0.4452286853} \\ \\ x = 4.08778693 \: m \\ x = 4.09 \: m$

A scientist has saline solutions with concentrations of 4% and 14% . He wants to mix some of each solution to get 65 milliliters

Komok [63]

Let volume of 4% solution = x and of 14% be y

them x + y = 65........(1) also using the actual weights of salt:-

0.04x + 0.14y = 65*0.06 = 3.9

multiplying the above equation by -25 we have

-x - 3.5y = -97.5 adding this to equation (1)

--2.5y = -32.5
y= 13

and x = 65 - 13 = 52

so we need 13 mls of the 14%, and 52 mls of the 4% solution.

Answer:

$sin 54 = \frac{x}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$sine = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

Side z is the adjacent, since it is next to the angle you are solving for.

Side x is the opposite, since it is opposite the angle you are solving for.

The side measuring 14 is the hypotenuse, since it is across from the right angle.

$sin 54 = \frac{x}{14}$

A right triangle has an angle that measures 34 and the adjacent side measures 17. What is the length of the hypotenuse to the ne

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

20.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's label the vertices ABC as in the diagram below. Then

Data:

α = 34 °

β = 90 °

c = 17

Calculation:

cosα = AB/AC

Multiply each side by AC

ACcosα = AB

Divide each side by cosα

AC = AB/cosα = 17/cos34 ≈ 17/0.8290 ≈ 20.5
