Answer:

Here we have two triangle rectangles, and we want to know the value of y, the shared cathetus between them.

First, we know that one of them has an angle of 60° and the adjacent cathetus to it is a.

The other has an angle of 30° and the adjacent cathetus is b.

In both cases, the opposite cathetus is y.

Now we can recall the relationship:

Tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Then we can write:

tan(60°) = y/a

tan(30°) = y/b

And we also know that:

a + b = 15

Then we have 3 equations:

tan(60°) = y/a

tan(30°) = y/b

a + b = 15

To solve this, we first need to isolate one variable in one of the equations, i will isolate a in the third equation:

a = 15 - b

Now we can replace it in the first equation to get:

tan(60°) = y/(15 - b)

i will rewrite this one as:

tan(60°)*(15 - b) = y

then our system is:

tan(60°)*(15 - b) = y

tan(30°) = y/b

now we can isolate b in the second equation to get:

b = y/tan(30°)

and then replace it on the other equation to get:

tan(60°)*(15 - y/tan(30°)) = y

Now we can remember that:

tan(60°) = √3

tan(30°) = (√3)/3

Replacing these in our equation we get:

√3*(15 - y/((√3)/3)) = y

we can rewrite this as:

√3*(15 - y*3/√3) = y

then:

(√3)*15 - y*3 = y

(√3)*15 = y + y*3

(√3)*15 = 4*y

(√3)*15/4 = y

then we get:

y = \frac{15}{4} *\sqrt{3}

PLZZ HELPP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Graph the line y=25x+3. Use the line tool and select two points on the line. THIS IS A K12 TEST
Sophie [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use any value either in place of x or y to find the corresponding coordinate but if you want to find the x and y intercept you can desigate x as zero and find the y intercept and vice versa.

so to find x and y intercept

y=25x+3. to find x intercept designate y as zero

0=25x+3

-3=25x

x= -3/25. p( -3/25,0)

y=25x+3 to find y intercept designate x as zero

y=25(0)+3

y=3. p(0,3)

the above y and x intercept indicates the points that the line of equation pass through when drawn graphically.

Lilla read 1/5 of her book last week. This week she read 3 times as much as she read last week. B. There are 75 pages in Lilla's
likoan [24]

Answer:

15pages

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 75 pages on her book

lilla read 1/5 of her book last week=1/5*75=15pages

this week she read 3times as much as she read last week=3*15=45pages

pages left to readcan be given as;

75-(15+45)

75-60= 15pages
