If 2a+4b=5 and a is equal to three times b, what is 3a?

Mathematics
1 answer:
IrinaK [193]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

3a=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

it says that "a is equal to 3 times b", which translates to a=3b

We can substitute a as 3b in 2a+4b=5

2(3b)+4b=5

multiply

6b+4b=5

add

10b=5

divide by 10

b=1/2

since it's given that a=3b, we can multiply 1/2 by 3

a=3/2

3a is 3 times a, so we can mutiply 3(3/2)=9/2=4.5

Hope this helps!

Two triangles can be formed with the given information. Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangles.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The Law of Sines applies to any triangle and works as follows:

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

We are attempting to solve for every angle and every side of the triangle. With the given information, A = 61°, a = 17, b = 19, we can solve for the unknown angle that is B.

a/sinA = b/sinB

17/sin61 = 19/sinB

sinB = (19/17)(sin61)

sinB = 0.9774

sin-1(sinB) = sin-1(0.9774)

B = 77.8°

With angle B we can solve for angle C and then side c.

A + B + C = 180°

C = 180° - A - B

C = 180° - 61° - 77.8°

C = 41.2°

a/sinA = c/sinC

17/sin61 = c/sin41.2

c = 17(sin41.2/sin61)

c = 12.8

The first solved triangle is:

A = 61°, a = 17, B = 77.8°, b = 19, C = 41.2°, c = 12.8

However, when we solved for angle B initially, that was not the only possible answer because of the fact that sinB = sin(180-B).

The other angle is simply 180°-77.8° = 102.2°. Therefore, angle B can also be 102.2° which will give us different values for c and C.

C = 180° - A - B

C = 180° - 61° - 102.2°

C = 16.8°

a/sinA = c/sinC

17/sin61 = c/sin16.8

c = 17(sin16.8/sin61)

c = 5.6

The complete second triangle has the following dimensions:

A = 61°, a = 17, B = 102.2°, b = 19, C = 16.8°, c = 5.6

The answer you are looking for is the first option given in the question:

B = 77.8°, C = 41.2°, c = 12.8; B = 102.2°, C = 16.8°, c = 5.6

Z=7f/r+4 , solve for r
lora16 [44]

Answer:

              7f

     r = -----------  -  4

                z

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that you meant:

         7f

z = ------------

        r + 4

Solve for r.  Start by interchanging z and (r + 4):

               7f

r + 4 = -----------

                z

Now subtract 4 from both sides.  This isolates r:

              7f

     r = ----------- - 4

                z
