Answer:

<em>The values are a=6, b=8</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

We are given the system of equations:

ax - by = 4

bx - ay = 10

And it's known the solutions are: x=2, y=1.

Plugging in the solutions:

2a - b = 4 [1]

2b - a = 10 [2]

Now we have to solve the system above. Multiply [1] by 2:

4a - 2b = 8

Now we add with [2]:

3a = 18

a = 18/3 = 6

a = 6

From [2]:

2b - 6 = 10

2b = 16

b = 16/2 = 8

b = 8

The values are a=6, b=8

The leaning tower of Pisa currently "leans" at a 4 degree angle and has a vertical height of 55.86 meters. How tall was the lean

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

56 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let the leaning tower's be h meters tall, when it was originally built.

We can see from our attachment that the side with length 55.86 meters is hypotenuse and h is adjacent side for 4 degree angle.

Since we know that cosine relates the adjacent and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

$\text{Cos}=\frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

$\text{Cos (4)}=\frac{55.86}{h}$

$h=\frac{55.86}{\text{Cos (4)}}$

$h=\frac{55.86}{0.99756405026}$

$h=55.996\approx 56$

Therefore, the leaning tower was approximately 56 meters, when it was originally built.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you multiply 18 1/4 with 10 1/2 and you get 191 5/8. Then you multiply 191 5/8 with 12 3/4 and you get D. 2443 7/32

Tao cooks 14 different kinds of doughnuts. She already cooked 4 dozen doughnuts. If she cooks exactly 8 of each kind of doughnut

nignag [31]

14 kinds of doughnuts
she need to make 8 of each

14 x 8 = 112

She needs to make 112 doughnuts total
She's already cooked 4 dozen

4 x 12 = 48
112-48= 64

She needs to make 64 doughnuts still
