Answer:

-44 feet deep

In other words: 44 feet below ground

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to write out the equation that the problem creates for us.

-48 - 11 + 15

Next we just have to subtract and add:

-48-11 = -59

-59+15 = 44

There we go! That's our answer.

Answer:

188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Total $862 collected on a certain day when 333 people enter the park.

Now, to find the children and adults admitted in the park.

Let the number of children admitted be $x.$

And the the number of adults admitted be $y.$

So, the total people enter the park:

$x+y=333\\\\x=333-y\ \ \ ...(1)$

Thus, the total amount collected of the admission fee:

$1.50(x)+4(y)=862\\\\$

Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1):

$1.50(333-y)+4(y)=862\\\\499.50-1.50y+4y=862\\\\499.50+2.50y=862\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 499.50\ we\ get:\\\\2.50y=362.50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2.50\ we\ get:\\\\y=145.$

Thus, the number of adults = 145.

Now, to get the number of children by substituting the value of $y$ in equation (1) we get:

$x=333-y\\\\x=333-145\\\\x=188.$

Hence, the number of children = 188.

Therefore, 188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

1. Consider the right triangle ABC given below.

lbvjy [14]

#1)
A) b = 10.57
B) a = 22.66; the different methods are shown below.
#2)
A) Let a = the side opposite the 15° angle; a = 1.35.
Let B = the angle opposite the side marked 4; m∠B = 50.07°.
Let C = the angle opposite the side marked 3; m∠C = 114.93°.
B) b = 10.77
m∠A = 83°
a = 15.11

Explanation
#1)
A) We know that the sine ratio is opposite/hypotenuse. The side opposite the 25° angle is b, and the hypotenuse is 25:
sin 25 = b/25

Multiply both sides by 25:
25*sin 25 = (b/25)*25
25*sin 25 = b
10.57 = b

B) The first way we can find a is using the Pythagorean theorem. In Part A above, we found the length of b, the other leg of the triangle, and we know the measure of the hypotenuse:
a²+(10.57)² = 25²
a²+111.7249 = 625

Subtract 111.7249 from both sides:
a²+111.7249 - 111.7249 = 625 - 111.7249
a² = 513.2751

Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √513.2751
a = 22.66

The second way is using the cosine ratio, adjacent/hypotenuse. Side a is adjacent to the 25° angle, and the hypotenuse is 25:
cos 25 = a/25

Multiply both sides by 25:
25*cos 25 = (a/25)*25
25*cos 25 = a
22.66 = a

The third way is using the other angle. First, find the measure of angle A by subtracting the other two angles from 180:
m∠A = 180-(90+25) = 180-115 = 65°

Side a is opposite ∠A; opposite/hypotenuse is the sine ratio:
a/25 = sin 65

Multiply both sides by 25:
(a/25)*25 = 25*sin 65
a = 25*sin 65
a = 22.66

#2)
A) Let side a be the one across from the 15° angle. This would make the 15° angle ∠A. We will define b as the side marked 4 and c as the side marked 3. We will use the law of cosines:
a² = b²+c²-2bc cos A
a² = 4²+3²-2(4)(3)cos 15
a² = 16+9-24cos 15
a² = 25-24cos 15
a² = 1.82

Take the square root of both sides:
√a² = √1.82
a = 1.35

Use the law of sines to find m∠B:
sin A/a = sin B/b
sin 15/1.35 = sin B/4

Cross multiply:
4*sin 15 = 1.35*sin B

Divide both sides by 1.35:
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = (1.35*sin B)/1.35
(4*sin 15)/1.35 = sin B

Take the inverse sine of both sides:
sin⁻¹((4*sin 15)/1.35) = sin⁻¹(sin B)
50.07 = B

Subtract both known angles from 180 to find m∠C:
180-(15+50.07) = 180-65.07 = 114.93°

B) Use the law of sines to find side b:
sin C/c = sin B/b
sin 52/12 = sin 45/b

Cross multiply:
b*sin 52 = 12*sin 45

Divide both sides by sin 52:
(b*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 45)/(sin 52)
b = 10.77

Find m∠A by subtracting both known angles from 180:
180-(52+45) = 180-97 = 83°

Use the law of sines to find side a:
sin C/c = sin A/a
sin 52/12 = sin 83/a

Cross multiply:
a*sin 52 = 12*sin 83

Divide both sides by sin 52:
(a*sin 52)/(sin 52) = (12*sin 83)/(sin 52)
a = 15.11
