Answer:

-2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

9(1-x) = 27Y

9-9x =27y

-9x -27y = -9  multiply all terms by -1

9x +27y =9   equation (1)

x-y= -11/2 equation (2)

by solving 2 equations

x= -3.875

y= 1.625

∴ x+ y = 1.625 +(-3.875) = -2.25

Let 9(1-x) = 27y be equation one and let x-y = -11/2 be equation two

Simplify -11/2 into -5.5 and make x the subject in equation two by moving y to the other side as a positive value. So now you have x= -5.5+y (now let that be equation two)

Sub equation two into equation one so that you get 9(1-(-5.5+y)= 27y


Expand brackets 9(1+5.5-y)= 27y

Simplify brackets 9(6.5-y)= 27y

Expand brackets 58.5-9y= 27y

Take -9y to the other side as a positive number

58.5= -36y

Divide both sides by -36

y= 1.625

For x, substitute the value of y into equation two

x= -5.5+1.625

x= -3.875

To finally answer the question aadd the value of x and y together

-3.875+1.625= -2.25

Som the value of x + y is -2.25

two observers, Anna and Bryan. sight a kite at angles 44 degrees and 66 degrees. respictively. if anna is located 20m from the k
Arada [10]

Answer:

28.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

this question is very incomplete. it requires a number of assumptions to give an answer. the main one - where is Bryan located relative to Anna ? I assume diametrically on the opposite side of the kite. because he has the steeper angle, it is clear that he is nearer to the kite.

so, I guess, we have to add his distance to the kite to her distance to the kite to get the distance between her and him.

but he could be on any point on a circle around the kite to have the same viewing angle, and we would have no clue about where on that circle.

as the other extreme alternative, he could be on the same line to the kite as Anna. and then we would have to subtract his distance from her distance.

but again, we assume he is exactly on the other side of the kite.

anyway, each person creates a right-angled triangle with the kite:

there is the direct line of sight as the base line or Hypotenuse (c).

there is the line on the ground from the person to the point on the ground directly under the kite as one side.

there is the line representing the height of the kite above ground as the other side. we let this start at the height of the eyes of the watching person.

and we assume that both persons are of the same height (so the height of the kite relative to their eyes is the same for both).

let's start with Anna.

the side a of Anna's triangle is

a = 20m

angle between a and c = 44 degrees

we know the angle between a and b is 90 degrees.

therefore the angle between b and c = 180-90-44 = 46 degrees.

now we use the law of sines :

a/sin(bc) = b/sin(ac) = c/sin(ab)

we know sin(ab) = sin(90) = 1

20/sin(46) = b/sin(44)

b = 20×sin(44)/sin(46) = 19.31... m = height of the kite

now to Bryan.

now we know his b (height of the kite) = 19.32... m

his angle between a and c is 66 degrees.

his angle between a and b is also 90 degrees.

therefore his angle between b and c = 180-90-66 = 24 degrees.

19.31/sin(66) = a/sin(24)

a = 19.31×sin(24)/sin(66) = 8.6 m

based on our assumption that they are standing opposite from each other in relation to the kite their distance is

20 + 8.6 = 28.6m

Using diagonals from a common vertex, how many triangles could be formed from the polygon pictured below?
Ad libitum [116K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

From a given vertex, two of the vertices are adjacent, so a "diagonal" to those will not form a triangle. The number of diagonals that can be drawn is 3 fewer than the number of sides. The number of triangles is 1 more than the number of diagonals.

For a 5-sided figure, 2 diagonals can be drawn from a common vertex.

  3 triangles will be formed.

the shaded area of the following shape can be found by subtracting the area of the circle from the area of the triangle?
balu736 [363]
I found the accompanying picture of this word problem.

The circle was inscribe in the triangle. The area outside of the circle but inside the triangle is the shaded area.

True. The shaded area of the following shape can be found by subtracting the area of the circle from the area of the triangle.
