Since the two boxes are identical, we know that both of the boxes are of equal weight. Since one box weighs 168 ounces, the other weighs 168 too. So we add them together..
168 + 168 = 336

The total weight in ounces of the nails that Jason bought is 336 ounces.

The difference of two complementary angles is 17 degrees. find the measures of the angles

ryzh [129]

Answer:

The angle measures are 53.5° and 36.5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a systems of equations, assuming x and y are the angle measures.

Since the two angles are complementary, their angle measures will add up to 90.

x + y = 90

x - y = 17

We can now use the process of elimination, and end up with:

2x = 107

Dividing both sides by two gets us

x = 53.5

Substituting this value into an equation will get us y

53.5 + y = 90

y = 36.5

Hope this helped!

Solve for x. Round to the nearest hundredth

PIT_PIT [208]

Given that the length of one leg is 6 and the angle is 40°

The hypotenuse is x.

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

The value of x can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;

$cos \ \theta=\frac{adj}{hyp}$

Substituting the values, we get;

$cos \ 45^{\circ}=\frac{6}{x}$

Simplifying, we have;

$x=\frac{6}{cos \ 45^{\circ}}$

$x=\frac{6}{0.766}$

Dividing, we get;

$x\approx7.83$

Therefore, the value of x is 7.83(app.)

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
