Answer:

87.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines can be used to solve this. We have two sides of a triangle and the angle opposite one of them. We want to find the angle opposite the other known side.

In the attached, the triangle is ΔACS. We have side "a" = 9, and side "c" = 10. Angle A is given as 64°. The law of sines tells us ...

sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a

sin(C) = (c/a)sin(A)

C = arcsin((c/a)sin(A)) = arcsin(10/9·sin(64°)) ≈ 87.03°

The ladder makes an angle of about 87° with the ground.

Priya drew a circle whose area is 25 cm. Dan drew a circle whose diameter is 4 times the radius of Priya's circle. How many time

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

first work out the radius of priya's circle with the equation a = $\pi r^{2}$

$25 = \pi r^{2}$

$\frac{25}{\pi } = r^{2}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{25}{\pi } }$

we know the diameter of a circle is 2 times the radius so the diameter of priya's circle is 2x $\sqrt{\frac{25}{\pi } }$

this means that if the diameter of dan's circle is 4 times bigger it must be

8x $\sqrt{\frac{25}{\pi } }$

to find the radius of dan's circle we divide the diameter by to 2 to give

4x $\sqrt{\frac{25}{\pi } }$

then use the a= $\pi r^{2}$ equation again

$a= (4 \sqrt{\frac{25}{\pi } })^{2} \pi$

which equals 400

Javier's employer pays for 43% of his annual health insurance premium. javier pays the remaining balance by having it deducted f

mihalych1998 [28]

<span>Let us start with the percentage of premium paid by Javier. Since the employer pays 43%, the remaining 57% (100-43) is paid by Javier. Now let us find out how much is deducted from his paychecks during the year. In one month, $157.38 x 2 = $314 .76 is deducted by the employer. So in 12 months, the amount equal to 57% of the health premium will be $314.76 x 12 = $3777.12. If $ 3777.12 is 57% of a certain number, to find the number, multiply $3777.12 with the reciprocal of the fraction. (57/100) So the unknown number = $3777.12 * 100/57 = $6626.53 Javier's total annual health premium, therefore, is $6626.53</span>
