Pam is having a yard sale. For each item, she is asking for two-fifths of the price for which she bought the item. Write an equ

ation for the situation, where y is the price she is asking and x is the original price of the item.

Answer:

The equation is 2x = 5y

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that what is asked is 2/5 of the price for which each of the items are bought

y is the asking price, x is the original

Mathematically,

that would be;

y = 2/5 * x

y = 2x/5

Thus;

2x = 5y

Please dont ignore, Need help!!! Use the law of sines/cosines to find..

Ket [755]

Answer:

16. Angle C is approximately 13.0 degrees.

17. The length of segment BC is approximately 45.0.

18. Angle B is approximately 26.0 degrees.

15. The length of segment DF "e" is approximately 12.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>16</h3>

By the law of sine, the sine of interior angles of a triangle are proportional to the length of the side opposite to that angle.

For triangle ABC:

$\sin{A} = \sin{103\textdegree{}}$ ,
The opposite side of angle A $a = BC = 26$ ,
The angle C is to be found, and
The length of the side opposite to angle C $c = AB = 6$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{\sin{C}}{\sin{A}} = \frac{c}{a}$ .

$\displaystyle \sin{C} = \frac{c}{a}\cdot \sin{A} = \frac{6}{26}\times \sin{103\textdegree}$ .

$\displaystyle C = \sin^{-1}{(\sin{C}}) = \sin^{-1}{\left(\frac{c}{a}\cdot \sin{A}\right)} = \sin^{-1}{\left(\frac{6}{26}\times \sin{103\textdegree}}\right)} = 13.0\textdegree{}$ .

Note that the inverse sine function here $\sin^{-1}()$ is also known as arcsin.

By the law of cosine,

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2\;a\cdot b\cdot \cos{C}$ ,

where

$a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are the lengths of sides of triangle ABC, and
$\cos{C}$ is the cosine of angle C.

For triangle ABC:

$b = 21$ ,
$c = 30$ ,
The length of $a$ (segment BC) is to be found, and
The cosine of angle A is $\cos{123\textdegree}$ .

Therefore, replace C in the equation with A, and the law of cosine will become:

$a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} - 2\;b\cdot c\cdot \cos{A}$ .

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}a &= \sqrt{b^{2} + c^{2} - 2\;b\cdot c\cdot \cos{A}}\\&=\sqrt{21^{2} + 30^{2} - 2\times 21\times 30 \times \cos{123\textdegree}}\\&=45.0 \end{aligned}$ .

<h3>18</h3>

For triangle ABC:

$a = 14$ ,
$b = 9$ ,
$c = 6$ , and
Angle B is to be found.

Start by finding the cosine of angle B. Apply the law of cosine.

$b^{2} = a^{2} + c^{2} - 2\;a\cdot c\cdot \cos{B}$ .

$\displaystyle \cos{B} = \frac{a^{2} + c^{2} - b^{2}}{2\;a\cdot c}$ .

$\displaystyle B = \cos^{-1}{\left(\frac{a^{2} + c^{2} - b^{2}}{2\;a\cdot c}\right)} = \cos^{-1}{\left(\frac{14^{2} + 6^{2} - 9^{2}}{2\times 14\times 6}\right)} = 26.0\textdegree$ .

<h3>15</h3>

For triangle DEF:

The length of segment DF is to be found,
The length of segment EF is 9,
The sine of angle E is $\sin{64\textdegree}}$ , and
The sine of angle D is $\sin{39\textdegree}$ .

Apply the law of sine:

$\displaystyle \frac{DF}{EF} = \frac{\sin{E}}{\sin{D}}$

$\displaystyle DF = \frac{\sin{E}}{\sin{D}}\cdot EF = \frac{\sin{64\textdegree}}{39\textdegree} \times 9 = 12.9$ .

Select two ratios that are equivalent to 7:6

shtirl [24]

Two ratios that are equal to 7:6 are 14:12 and 21:18, as they are the same, but 7 and 6 are multiplied by the same number (2 in the first, and 3 in the second.)

Ariana and Sean went out to dinner with their parents. The price paid for their meal was $75.60 before taxes. The sales tax rate

KengaRu [80]

Answer: $97.524

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's calculate the price after the tax rate:

converting 7.50% to a decimal = 0.0750 now we multiply the sales tax by 75.60 which equals $5.67 add it to 75.60 = 81.27 (our new total)

Now let's calculate the tip. Again turning 20% to a decimal = .20 now multiplying by 81.27 = 16.254. Adding 16.254 to 81.27 we get our final answer: $97.524
