Answer:

19.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is represented in the image attached.

∠A = 45°, ∠B = 45° + (216° - 180°) = 81°

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

45° + 81° + ∠C = 180°

126 + ∠C = 180

∠C = 180 - 126

∠C = 54°

The sine rule states that for a triangle with sides a, b, c and their corresponding opposite angles A, B and C. The following rule holds:

\frac{a}{sin(A)}= \frac{b}{sin(B)}= \frac{c}{sin(C)}

b = length of beginning of submarine to end point. Using sine rule:

\frac{b}{sin(81)} =\frac{16}{sin(54)} \\\\b=\frac{16}{sin(54)}*sin(81)\\\\b=19.5\ miles

The lines in the graph of part A don't intersect at two whole numbers on the coordinate grid. Estimate the values of the solutio
mariarad [96]

Answer:

The solution lies at approximately (4.25,6.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimate is pretty close for both equations. For the first equation, the estimate results in a value that is only 0.2125 units away from the constant. For the second equation, the estimate results in a value that is only 0.25 units away from the constant.

Maria is comparing the prices of two window cleaning companies. Company A charges $6 per window and an additional $12 as service
rewona [7]
Part A Answer: Company A: (Wx6)+12 Company B: (Wx5)+15 The varible used was W because windows start with a W i chose this as the variable because it is for the certain NUMBER of windows. Part B:Company A: 8x6=48+12=$70 for 8 windows and service charges. Company B:8x5=40+15=$55 for 8 windows and service charges. Company B would charge less for 8 windows. Part C:My work for Company A: 6x6=36+12=$48 for 6 windows and service charges My work for Company B: 6x5=30+15=$45 for 6 windows + service charges $48-$45=$3 Answer for Part C: $3 would be saved by using the services of Company B instead if Company A to clean 6 windows.
