The seamstress can cut 36, 15-inch pieces of ribbon from 5 rolls of 9 foot long ribbon.
Answer:
A. He will have to work 40 hours to buy the headphones
B. 1200 ≤ 10.25x ≤ 2000 where x is # of hrs worked
He can work anywhere between 118 and 196 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Divide 399.95 by 10.25 to get 39.01 hours. But since you cant work 0.01 of an hour, you have to round up to the next hour
B. You want to make more than or equal to 1200, so put that in the inequality. You want to make less or equal to 2000, so you put that in the inequality. In the middle, you put 10.25 an hour multiplied by the number of hours, which is a variable.
To solve, I made 10.25x = 1200, and x equaled 117.07, which rounds up to 118 hours because you cant work a 0.07 of an hour. 118 hours is the low number of the spectrum.
To solve for the highest number on the spectrum, you do 10.25x = 2000, and x equals 195.12, but since you cant work 0.12 of an hour, it rounds up to 196 hours.
X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
