A bee flies at 20 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive. The bee stays at the flower bed for 15 minutes, and th

en flies directly back to the hive at 12 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 17 minutes. a. What equation can you use to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive? b. How far away is the flower bed from the hive?

Answer:

a. Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)

b. The flower bed is 2,400 ft from the hive

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Mathematically, the distance will be ;

the speed * time taken

Given that he stays a total of 17 minutes away from the hive and he stayed 15 minutes in the flower bed, the time it used on the flower bed will be 17 minutes - 15 minutes = 2 minutes

So the distance from the flower bed to the hive is;

Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)

b. We want to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive

That will be;

20 ft per second * 2 minutes (120 seconds)

= 20 * 120 = 2,400 ft

Precal : Note: Triangle may not be drawn to scale. Suppose a = 3 and A = 15 degrees
drek231 [11]

Given:

In a right triangle at B,

\begin{gathered} a=3 \\ A=15^{\circ} \end{gathered}

To find:

The length of the sides b and c and angle B.

Explanation:

Using the trigonometric ratio,

\begin{gathered} sinA=\frac{a}{c} \\ \sin15^{\circ}=\frac{3}{c} \\ c=\frac{3}{\sin15^{\circ}} \\ c=11.59 \\ c\approx11.6 \end{gathered}

Using the trigonometric ratio,

\begin{gathered} \tan A=\frac{a}{b} \\ \tan15^{\circ}=\frac{3}{b} \\ b=\frac{3}{\tan15^{\circ}} \\ b=11.19 \\ b\approx11.2 \end{gathered}

Using the angle sum property,

The angle B becomes,

\begin{gathered} 90+15+B=180 \\ B=180-90-15 \\ B=75^{\circ} \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The values are,

\begin{gathered} b=11.2 \\ c=11.6 \\ B=75^{\circ} \end{gathered}

3x-13=74 solve for x
never [62]

Answer:

x=29

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-13=74

We want to solve for x, so we need to isolate it.

The first step is to add 13 to each side.

3x-13+13=74+13

3x = 87

Then we divide by 3 on each side

3x/3 = 87/3

x= 29

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point P and is
gayaneshka [121]
Since the lines are parallel their slopes are equal. So, the equation is y=4x+b
Now we need to find the y-intercept, which is b.
Now, Plug in point p to find b:
3=4*(-1)+b
b=3+4=7
The equation is: y=4x+7

PLEASE HELP ME I AM HORRIBLE AT TRIGONOMETRY!!! TRIANGLES ARE SO HARD!!!
OleMash [197]

Answer:

A construction worker may use trigonometry when building the roof of a house. They may have to calculate the right angle that hypotenuse must sit at so water doesn't build up on the roof and cause leaks.

(this may be more of an architect's job, as they are the ones that design the houses)

or

An air traffic controller may use trigonometry to find how long it will take an airplane to land/how far the airplane is from the ground while it is in the sky (hypotenuse), based on its height from the ground (opposite) and the distance away from the runway it is (adjacent). They can also calculate the angle of elevation of the airplane from the tower they work in.
