A field in the shape of a right triangle is bordered on one side by a stream, on another side by a road, and on a third side by

a fence. What angle does this stream make with the road? Enter your answer in the box. Round only your final answer to the nearest degree. ° A field in the shape of a right triangle. The bottom of the field is a fence. The right side of the field is a road. The fence and the road meet at a right angle. The third side of the field is a stream. The distance along the road between the fence and the stream is 20 yards. The distance along the stream between the fence and the road is 27 yards.

Answer:

42°

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, it may help you to draw it out to visualize it. You want to find the angle between the stream and road. Based on the description the triangle looks like this.

                         / |

Stream(27)      /   |  Road( 20)

                     /__|

                   Fence

You know the length of the road is 20, and the stream is 27. The angle can be found by using Cos∅=a/h. Adjacent to where the road and stream meet is the road, 20, and hypotenuse is the stream, 27.

So 20/27 = .74 = Cos∅

To find the angle ∅ use inverse cosine to get 42°.

Hope that helps and let me know if I did anything incorrectly!

How to substitute 3x+3y=-3 and y=5x-1?
schepotkina [342]
Since y = 5x-1, we can fill it into 3x + 3y = -3. First, let's look at relating to a simpler equation. Let's say that x + y = 9 and y = 3 + 5. Now, we can fill it in to get that x + (3 + 5) = 9. Now, we know that 3+5 is 8, so x + 8 = 9. Now, x = 1. Likewise, we can do the same. For 3x + 3y = -3, all we need to do is to switch the y in 3x + 3y = -3 with 5x - 1. So it would become 3x + 3(5x - 1) = -3. Now we distribute to get 3x + 15x - 3 = -3. Now add three to both sides to get 3x + 15x = 0. Now simplify to get 18x = 0. Now we know that x = 0. Now fill x into y = 5x - 1. So y = 5(0) - 1. Now we know that y = -1.

To check fill in the answer to 3x + 3y = -3.
3(0) + 3(-1) = -3
 0 + (-3) = -3
0 - 3 = -3
-3 = -3
Now that our check is completed we now know that x is 0 and y is -1.

Find w.<br><br> A. 8.9<br><br> B. 0.05<br><br> C. 0.08<br><br> D. 5.2
enyata [817]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of angle V = 180 - 62 - 36 = 82 degrees

So by the law of sines, 10/sin(82 deg) = w/sin(62 deg)

w = [10sin(62)]/sin(82)

from here just plug this into a calculator

Assume the sample below is a perfectly random sample of students at a school. How much greater is the mean of the
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is not well presented (See Attachment)

There are at least two approaches to this question

Method 1:  

Steps

1. Calculate the mean of reported heights

Mean of reported heights = (61+68+57.5+48.5+75+65+80+68+69+63)/10

Mean of reported heights = 655/10

Mean of reported heights = 65.5

2. Calculate the mean of measured heights

Mean of measured heights = (62 + 68 + 56.5 + 47 + 72 + 65 + 78 + 67 + 69.5 + 62.5)/10

Mean of measured heights = 647.5/10

Mean of measured heights = 64.75

3. Get their difference

Difference = Mean of reported heights - Mean of measured heights

Difference = 65.5 - 64.75

Difference = 0,75

Method 2: Calculate the mean of their difference

Mean of difference = Sum of difference / Number of observations

Mean of difference = (-1 + 0 + 1 + 1.5 + 3 + 0 + 2 + 1 – 0.5 + 0.5)/10

Mean of difference = 7.5/10

Mean of difference = 0.75

Note that in both cases, the result is 0,75.

Hence, the reported heights at the school is 0.75 greater than the actual measured height
