Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

chickens + goats = 13

so...

c + g = 13, so...

g = (13 - c)

2 legs times the number of chickens (2c) + 4 legs times the number of goats (4g) = 48 total legs. So...

2c + 4(13-c) = 48, so

2c + 52 - 4c = 48, so

-2c = -4, so

2c = 4, so

c = 2.

There are 2 chickens, and therefore 11 goats.

Alex is creating an outdoor structure out of two 12 foot boards. The boards must have an angle of elevation
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

5.0 ft - 5.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the structure is to be made using two 12 foot boards, then we expect the total perimeter to be equal to (2*12)= 24 ft.

Using the angle of elevation, 40° and the width of 8 ft then you can apply the formula for tangent of a triangle where ;

Tan α = opposite side length/adjacent length

Tan 40°= h/8

h= 8 tan 40° = 6.71 ft

Applying the cosine of an angle formula to find the length of the sliding side

Cosine β = adjacent length /hypotenuse

Cosine 40°= 8/ sliding side length

sliding side length = 8/cosine 40° =10.44 ft

Checking  the perimeter = 10.44 +8+6.71= 25.15 ft

This is more than the total lengths of the boards, so you need to adjust the height as;

24 - 18.44 = 5.56 ft ,thus the height should be less or equal to 5.56 ft

h≤ 5.6 ft

1/2+(3/8−1/8)^2

= 1/2+(2/8)^2

= 1/2+(1/4)^2

= 1/2 + 1/16

= 8/16 + 1/16

= 9/16
