1 answer:
Answer:
25.61 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture (see attached picture). With the wall representing the rightmost line, and the ground representing the bottom line, the ladder (the hypotenuse) forms a 80 degree angle with the ground and the wall and ground form a 90 degree angle.
Without solving for other angles, we know one angle and the hypotenuse, and want to find the opposite side of the angle.
One formula that encompasses this is sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse, with x being 80 degrees and the hypotenuse being 26 feet. We thus have
sin(80°) = opposite / 26 feet
multiply both sides by 26 feet
sin(80°) * 26 feet = opposite
= 25.61 feet as the height of the wall the ladder reaches

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be the number of bags with 8 onions and let
be the number of bags with 3 onions. We have the following system of equations:
Subtracting from both sides of the first equation, we get
. Substitute this into the second equation:
Therefore, the number of 8-onion bags is:
Thus, the chef got 4 8-onion bags and 3 3-onion bags.
