X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
Answer:
His family ate 8 sugar cookies.
16 sugar cookies are left.
Step-by-step explanation:
- His family ate 1/3 <em>of </em>the 24 sugar cookies: 1/3 x 24= 8
- How many are left: 24-8=16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The roots of the quadratic function (x-intercepts) are
x=-1 and x=5/3
so
we can write the equation of the parabola as
where
a is a coefficient
Remember that
The parabola pass through the point (5,40)
substitute the value of x and the value of y of the ordered pair in the quadratic equation and solve for a
x=5, y=40
substitute
apply distributive property
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Answer:
Gabe needs 20 liters of the 40% solution.
He also needs 40 liters of the 70% solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation:
acid + acid = acid
0.40x + 0.70(60-x) = 0.60*60
40x + 70*60 - 70x = 60*60
-30x = -10*60
x = 20 liters
Gabe needs 20 liters of the 40% solution.
He also needs 40 liters of the 70% solution.
