Answer:

x = number of bicycles = 35

y = number of cars = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of bicycles

y = number of cars

x + y = 80 (1)

2x + 4y = 270 (2)

From (1)

x = 80 - y

Substitute x = 80 - y into (2)

2x + 4y = 270 (2)

2(80 - y) + 4y = 270

160 - 2y + 4y = 270

- 2y + 4y = 270 - 160

2y = 110

y = 110/2

y = 55

Substitute y = 55 into (1)

x + y = 80 (1)

x + 55 = 80

x = 80 - 55

x = 35

x = number of bicycles = 35

y = number of cars = 55

Hello!

To find cosine, use the formula cos = adjacent / hypotenuse.

According to angle B, adjacent of angle B is side A, and the hypotenuse is side c because the hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle.

Therefore, the cosine of angle B is a/c.
