Answer:

1.) \sqrt{13.341}  ≈ 3.652

2.) I would say something about how the A in front of cos in the equation would change to 90, rather than stay 75 (in the equation for the step by step), but it would be easier to just use the Pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we may have the same class so hopefully this helps:

1.) a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bccosA --> law of cosines formula.

   a^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 - 2(3)(3)cos(75) --> plugged in numbers; when you draw the triangle, the included angle would be A, and the opposite side would be a. B and b, and C and c are opposite each other. In this case, a is the hypotenuse.

   a^2 = 18 - 18cos75 --> in between steps.

   a^2 = 13.341 --> more simplifying.

   a(hypotenuse) = \sqrt{13.341} or 3.652 --> answer

2.) This one is just an explanation: The 75 in the equation is the given angle, which is a. If this changes, it would just change in the equation too. And obviously, if it's 90 degrees, you can just use Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.

Good luck! :)

I need help it’s a quiz

Answer:

Question 6: 26 crowns plus 15 ribbons.

Question 7: 10 footballs plus 42 basketballs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 6 explanation: Since the expression is 22 crowns plus 13 ribbons plus 2 ribbons plus 4 crowns, you can think of the different items as variables in an equation. Picture crowns are the variable x, and ribbons as the variable y, this will help you solve the equation in an easier way that allows you to comprehend each step better. The equation will now be 22x+13y+2y+4x, in order to find how many x (crowns) and y (ribbons) you have, you need to combine like terms in the expression. In other words, add the terms with the variable x together, and add the terms with the variable y together. Simplified, the equation will be 26x+15y. Since the variables x and y were used to represent crowns and ribbons respectively, that means the correct answer is 26 crowns plus 15 ribbons.

Question 7 explanation: You can use the same method as you did in question 6, think of footballs and basketballs as the variables x and y respectively. The equation will be 16x+38y-6x+4y = 10x+42y. Since the variable x was used to represent footballs and the variable y was used to represent basketballs, that means the correct answer would be 10 footballs plus 42 basketballs.

tina saved 25 more dimes than nickels. she saved 6 times as many dimes as nickels. how much money did she save in all
nikklg [1K]
25 ÷ (6 - 1) = 25 ÷ 5 = 5, she saved 5 nickels,

5 nickels = 5 × 5 = 25 cents = $0.25

5 + 25 = 30, she saved 30 dimes, 30 dimes = 300 cents = 3 dollars.

3 + 0.25 = $3.25, she saved $3.25 in all.

Find the intercepts of the graph of the equation y=4, y=-18, y=16, y=-7
Naya [18.7K]
All of these have no x-intercepts, since x-intercepts require y to be 0.  Their y-intercepts are:
(0, 4)
(0, -18)
(0, 16)
(0, -7)
respectively.
