Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest side of a triangle is formed by the smallest angle in the triangle.

To find the side opposite (formed by) the 20 degree angle, we can use the Law of Cosines. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle, c^2=a^2+b^2-ab\cos \gamma, where a, b, and c are the three sides of the triangle and \gamma is the angle opposite to c.

Let c be the side opposite to the 20 degree angle.

Assign variables:

  • a\implies 4
  • b\implies 7
  • \gamma \implies 20^{\circ}

Substituting these variables, we get:

c^2=4^2+7^2-2(4)(7)\cos 20^{\circ},\\c^2=16+49-56\cos 20^{\circ},\\c^2=12.377213236,\\c=\sqrt{12.377213236}=3.51812638147\approx \boxed{3.5}

Therefore, the shortest side of this triangle is 3.5.

Consider the following expression and determine which statements are true. m+(5n)(9-p)-6-r^2
Fed [463]

Answer:

(B)The expression (5n)(9-p) is the product

(D)The expression 9-p has exactly two terms

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression;

m+(5n)(9-p)-6-r^2

The coefficient of m is 1, therefore Option A is not true

The product of 5n and 9-p is (5n)(9-p), therefore Option B is true.

The expression 9-p has exactly two terms,9  and p.

Therefore, Options B and D are true.

During the past year, Zara and Ivan each read 2 books, but George read 7, Ali read 12, and Marsha read 25. The median number of
gogolik [260]

Answer:

D = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median, we must first list the amount of books each person read, and then put them in order.

2, 2, 7, 12, 25

These are already in order from smallest to greatest, which is awesome. We can then cross out one number from each side until we end up with either one or two numbers. We then find the average of those 1 or 2 numbers to find our median.

2, 3, 7, 12, 25

cross 2 and 25 out

3, 7, 12

cross 3 and 12 out

7

Our median is thus 7

Mary wants to buy one large pizza, one medium pizza, and three drinks. The drinks cost $p$ dollars each, the medium pizza costs
Korolek [52]

Answer:

30-8p

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent cost of each drink.

We have been given that the medium pizza costs two times as much as one drink, so the cost of medium pizza would be 2p.

We are also told that the large pizza costs three times as much as one drink,  so the cost of la pizza would be 3p.

We have been given that Mary wants to buy one large pizza, one medium pizza, and three drinks.

Since the cost of one drink is p, so cost of 3 three drinks would be 3p.

The total cost of one large pizza, one medium pizza, and three drinks would be 2p+3p+3p=8p

Mary started with $30, so amount left after all of her purchases would be 30 minus total cost of all purchases.

30-8p

Therefore, Mary will have 30-8p dollars left after making all of her purchases.

The percent change of 15 yards to 18 yards
Paladinen [302]
First we subtract it:

18 - 15 = 3

Now we divide it to the original:

3 / 15 = 0.2

Multiply by 100:

0.2 * 100 = 20%
