Eddie ordered customized 38 cups !
im not smart but i think the answer is x-6x (,-9)
<span>2y = x + 3 then x = 2y - 3
5y = x - 7 then x = 5y + 7
so
</span>2y - 3 = 5y + 7
2y - 5y = 7 + 3
-3y = 10
y = -10/3
y = -3 1/3
<span>2y = x + 3
</span>2 (-10/3) = x + 3
-20/3 - 3 =x
-29/3 = x
-9 2/3 =x
or
x = -9 2/3
solutions: x = -9 2/3 and y = -3 1/3
Answer:
x = 8*root3
y = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use tangent and cosine of 60° to find x and y, BUT THERE'S A SHORTCUT. You pointed out that its a 30°-60°-90° triangle. That is a special right triangle. Here's the shortcut:
the longest side (hypotenuse) is double the shortest side. We have an 8 on the shortest side, so the hypotenuse (longest side) is 16. This ALWAYS works for 30°-60°-90° triangles!
Another shortcut:
The longer leg is the shorter leg × root3.
This ALWAYS works on 30°-60°-90° triangles.
So on your triangle, the short side is 8, that means the longer leg is 8×root3.
ta-daaaa!
