Answer:

109.5; B

Step-by-step explanation:

From your identity,

CosA = adjacent/ hypothenus

A represent an arbitrary angle between the sides in question.

In the question above, A=64

Hypothenus is the longest side and adjacent is the side just below the angle .

In the above case,

Hypothenus= X

adjacent =48

This means;

Cos64 = 48 /X

X = 48 / cos64; [ from cross multiplication and diving through by cos64]

X = 48 /0.4383 [ cos64 in radian = 0.4383]

= 109.51

= 109.5 to the nearest tenth.

Note( do your calculation of angle in radian or else, you won't get the answer)

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1) x²+4x=2700

2) 50x50

Step-by-step explanation:

Pony area = x²

line-up area=4x

x²+4x=2700

x²+4x-2700=0

(x-50)(x+54)

So x= 50 or -54. Since it can’t be a negative number, it must be 50.

CHECK:

Square = 50x50 = 2500

Line up area = 50x4 = 200

2500+200=2700 YES

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (2, -1) and (-6, -5)

timurjin [86]

Answer: The equation that goes through the points (2, -1) and (-6, -5) is 1/2x - 2

I know this because when I graphed this equation, it passed through those points. (My graph is shown below)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and (0, 2).

arsen [322]

Answer:

$y=-2x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

1) Determine the slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where the two given points are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

Plug in the given points (-1, 4) and (0, 2)

$=\frac{2-4}{0-(-1)}\\=\frac{-2}{0+1}\\=\frac{-2}{1}\\= -2$

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-2x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept

$y=-2x+b$

Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis, meaning that the y-intercept occurs when x is equal to 0.

One of the given points is (0,2). Notice how y=2 when x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 2.

Plug this back into the equation:

$y=-2x+2$

I hope this helps!
