Answer:

x = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the leg rule to find the value of x.

Leg rule is given as:

Hypotenuse/leg 1 = leg 1/part 1

Hypotenuse = 400

Leg 1 = x

Part 1 = 144

Plug in the known values into the formula

400/x = x/144

Cross multiply

x*x = 144*400

x² = 57,600

Take the square root of both sides

√x² = √57,600

x = 240

The price of gold has increased by 35% per year from 2000. In the year 2000, Harry bought a gold ring for $590. Which of the fol

meriva

The correct choice is A. When something is being increased by a percentage, you add the percentage to 100%, so you add 35% to 100% to make a decimal of 1.35. Every year the initial value of 590 will be increased by 35%. so the correct choice is A.

PLEASE HELP!!

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The bird is approximately 9 ft high up in the tree

Explanation:

The required diagram is shown in the attached image

Note that the tree, the cat and the ground form a right-angled triangle

Therefore, we can apply special trigonometric functions

These functions are as follows:

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ cos(\alpha)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\ \\tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Now, taking a look at our diagram, we can note the following:

α = 25°

The opposite side is the required height (x)

The adjacent side is the distance between the cat and the tree = 20 ft

Therefore, we can use the tan function

This is done as follows:

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\ \\ tan(25)=\frac{x}{20}\\ \\x=20tan(25) = 9. 32 ft$ which is 9 ft approximated to the nearest ft

Hope this helps :)

Math help please? There are 12 more toy cars than toy trucks in a box with a total of 38 toy cars and toy trucks. How many toy t

dlinn [17]

Let, the number of toy trucks = x
Then, number of toy cars = (x + 12)

Now, we have: x + x+12 = 38
2x + 12 = 38
2x = 38 - 12
2x = 26
x = 26/2
x = 13

So, there are 13 toy trucks in total.

Hope this helps!
