Answer:

  • 16.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle is x

Imagine the right triangle with the angle x, with side opposite to angle x 15 ft and the adjacent side is 50 ft.

<u>Use trigonometry:</u>

  • tangent = opposite / adjacent
  • tan x = 15/50
  • tan x = 0.3
  • x = arctan 0.3
  • x = 16.7° (rounded)

Laila has to pay $75 regardless of how many shirts she gets but has to pay an additional $8 per shirt. So when you set up your equation you are going to set it equal to c (the total cost). So c=75+8x. The reason there is a variable after 8 is because we aren’t sure how many shirts she’s buying yet.

Which inequality represents the following sentence?
Murrr4er [49]
<span>x – 12 ≥ 18 Let's break down the sentence and create an inequality from it. We'll use X to represent the number. "Twelve fewer than a number is at least 18." The "Twelve fewer than a number" indicates subtraction, so let's do that. X - 12 "is at least 18." would be a greater than or equal relationship. So we have X - 12 ≥ 18 And we're done. The desired equation is: x – 12 ≥ 18</span>

Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

Something I noticed right away is that 4/8 can be simplified.

4/8 ===> 2/4

So now we have 2/4 - 1/4

Just subtract the numerators only.

2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4

1/4 cannot be simplified, so 1/4 is your final answer.

Hope this helped!! ☺♥
