Answer:
110 yards of string
Step-by-step explanation:
Converting the feet of the string of 1 balloon to yard
1 foot = 1/3 yard
6 feet = x
x = 6 × 1/3 yard
x = 2 yard
Hence 1 balloon uses 2 yard of string
Since:
1 balloon = 2 yard of string
55 ballons = x
x = 55 × 2 yard of string
x = 110 yards of string
Hence, for 55 balloons he would need 110 yards of string.
Answer:
They rode 14 miles before replacing each horse
Step-by-step explanation:
We will be working under the assumption that all three riders sat on one horse at a time and rode it while the other horses rested.
From the problem, we can understand that the horses were each ridden for the same distance. This means that to get the total distance a horse rode before it was changed, we can divide the total distance by the number of horses that were used for the journey.
Distance each horse rode = 182/ 13 = 14 miles.
Therefore, each horse was ridden for 14 miles before it was changed.
The correct answer is x = 20
Answer:
1. A = 59
2. A = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a right triangle we can use sin, cos and tan.
sin = opp/ hypotenuse
cos= adjacent/ hypotenuse
tan = opposite/ adjacent
For the first problem, we know the opposite and adjacent sides to angle A
tan A = opposite/ adjacent
tan A = 8.8 / 5.2
Take the inverse of each side
tan ^-1 tan A = tan ^-1 (8.8/5.2)
A = 59.42077313
To the nearest degree
A = 59 degrees
For the second problem, we know the adjacent side and the hypotenuse to angle A
cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos A = 15.3/21
Take the inverse of each side
cos ^-1 cos A = cos ^-1 (15.3/21)
A = 43.23323481
To the nearest degree
A = 43 degrees
