Answer:

Number of rocks and fossils collected by you is <u>1 and  24</u> respectively

Number of rocks and fossils collected by your friend is <u>3 and 12 </u>respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  the number of Rocks you collect be x

Let  the number of Fossils you collect be y

Then the total number pf objects you collected will be

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y------------------------------(1)

Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as you.

This can be written as

3x + y (1/2) = 15

3x + (y/2) = 15-------------------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

3(25 - y) + (y/2) = 15

75 - 3y + (y/2) = 15

Grouping the like terms we get,

75 - 15 = 3y = (y/2)

60 = ( 6y - y /2)

60 x 2 = 6y -y

120 = 5y

y = 120/5

y = 24

Substituting  y value in equation(1) we get

x = 25 - 24

x= 1

y= 24

Friends collects 3 times rock

so collects 3x =3(1) = 3rocks

Also he collects half as many fossils

That is

y/2 = 24/2 = 12 fossils

Use the​ power-reducing formulas to rewrite the expression as an equivalent expression that does not contain powers of trigonome
ratelena [41]

Answer:

x = 0.175\cdot (1-\cos 4\cdot \theta)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let use the following trigonometric identities:

\sin^{2}\theta = \frac{1-\cos 2\cdot \theta}{2} \\\cos^{2}\theta = \frac{1+\cos 2\cdot \theta}{2}

Then, the equation is simplified by substituting its components:

x = 1.40\cdot \left(\frac{1-\cos 2\cdot \theta}{2}  \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1+\cos 2\cdot \theta}{2} \right)

x = 0.35\cdot (1-\cos^{2}2\cdot \theta)

x = 0.35\cdot \sin^{2}2\cdot \theta

x = 0.35\cdot \left(\frac{1-\cos 4\cdot \theta}{2}  \right)

x = 0.175\cdot (1-\cos 4\cdot \theta)

Please help me with this

Think of it as two rectangular prisms next to each other, and find the volume of each one separately.

The big one on the left has a volume of 4 * 12 * 6, or 288.

The smaller one on the right has a volume of 2 * 6 * 6, or 72.

288 + 72 = 360. 360 cubic feet of water are needed.

Here is Triangle A. Lin created a scaled copy of Triangle A with an area of 72 square units. a. How many times larger is the are
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Triangle A is attached in the image below.

The base of triangle A is 3 units and its height is 3 units. The area of a triangle  is given as:

Area = (1/2) × base × height

Area of triangle A = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 3 × 3 = 4.5 unit²

Area of the scaled copy = 72 unit²

Ratio of area = Area of the scaled copy / Area of triangle A = 72 unit² / 4.5 unit² = 16

Hence the scaled copy area is 16 times larger than that of triangle A.

b) For the scaled copy:

Area of the scaled copy = (1/2) × base × height = 72 unit²

base × height = 144

Since the base and height are equal

base² = 144

base = 12, also height = 12

Base of scaled copy = 12 = 4 × base of triangle A

Therefore the scale factor used is 4

What is the volume of the cone? Use π ≈ 3.14. 12.56 cubic units 18.84 cubic units 20.93 cubic units 25.12 cubic units
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

volume of cone = 12.56 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cone = 1/3  π r² h

            r = 2

            h = 3

then

V= 1/3 3.14 * (2) ² 3

 = 12.56 cubic units
