Answer:

sin = opp/hyp

height  = opp side

hyp = length of string

sin65 = height / 500

multiply both sides by 500

500 * sin 65 = height

use calculator

453.153893518324982 = height

~ 453 feet

It says write an equation of the line shown and the line goes through points 4,3 and 1,-3
RUDIKE [14]
Slope of the line;
slope=\frac{change in y}{change in x}
Slope=\frac{3--3}{4-1}
Slope,m =\frac{6}{3} =2
y=mx+c
y=2x+c
Replacing for x and y using point (4,3)
3=2(4)+c
3=8+c
c=3-8
c=-5
y=2x-5

What is the value for y?<br> Enter your answer in the box.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees

50 + 2x+ 5y + 10 = 180

We know that 2x = 50 since they are the base angles of sides that have the same length, they must be the same

50 + 50 + 5y+10 =180

Combine like terms

110 + 5y =180

Subtract 110 from each side

110+5y-110 = 180-110

5y = 70

Divide each side by 5

5y/5 =70/5

y = 14

The temperature outside was 60 degrees when Sarah woke up. By noon, it had increased to 75 degrees. Find the percent increase in
DochEvi [55]
Temp1 = 60
Temp2 = 75
Temp2 - Temp1 = 15

Difference = (Temp2 - Temp1) / Temp1
Difference = 15 / 60 = 1 / 4 = 0.25
Percentage difference = difference * 100% = 0.25 * 100% = 25%
