100 ft.  |              \

           |         2     \

           |_________\

                    x

Use tangent to find the x.

tan(2) = \frac{100}{x}

x = \frac{100}{tan(2)}

Use a calculator to evaluate.

x = \frac{100}{tan(2)} = 2863.6253

So, the boat is 2,863.63 feet from the shore.

Y result from something being multiplied by X , and the values are always proportional to one another . Notice that putting these points into a ratio of x - value to Y - value result in 1:3 as a simplified version . So , The constant of proportionality is what x is being multiplied by to get y . In this case , it is 3

Value of Y in formula shown when X=4/5 Y= 4/x + ✔️x + 0.2 - 5x
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The value of Y is 2.09443

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the value of Y for the given value of x.

The equation of Y is given by

Y=\frac{4}{x}+\sqrt x+0.2-5x

And the value of x is 4/5. On substituting this value of x in the equation of y, we get

Y=\frac{4}{\frac{4}{5}}+\sqrt {\frac{4}{5}}+0.2-5\cdot \frac{4}{5}

Y=5+\frac{2}{\sqrt5}+0.2-4

Add/subtract the numbers, we get

Y=2.09443

Therefore, the value of Y is 2.09443

A shop sold white, pink and red T-shirts. 24% of the T-shirts were white. There were 198 more pink than white T-shirts. The rema
DerKrebs [107]

No. of pink T-shirts was 342

<h3>How to solve it?</h3>

Given: 24% of the T-shirts were white

Let, total number of T-shirts be x

According to question,

Total no. of white T-shirts = \frac{24x}{100}

Total No. of pink T-shirt =  \frac{24x}{100} + 198

Total No. of red T-shirts = 114

According to the question:

\frac{24x}{100} + \frac{24x}{100}+ 198 + 114 = x

312 = x - \frac{48x}{100}

312 = \frac{52x}{100}

x =\frac{312*100}{52}

x = 600

so No. of pink T-shirts :

=\frac{24*600}{100}+198

= 144 + 198

= 342

Hence total No. of pink T-shirts was 342.
