Answer: length of DE is about 3.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation: A calculator is necessary!

DE is the unknown hypotenuse of the triangle

get the sine of 23° = 0.3907311285

Use the equation for sine

<em>sin = o/h</em> .

To find h, Substitute values for sin and o. O is EC, Opposite the 23° angle D

<em>0.3907311285 = 1.3/h</em> multiply both sides by h

h(0.3907311285) = 1.3 divide both sides by 0.3907311285

h = 1.3/0.3907311285

3.327096065 = h, the length of the hypotenuse, DE.

klemol [59]

The ages are consecutive even numbers.
The youngest child is (x+3) years old.
Every even number is 2 more than the one before it.
So the three ages are

   (x + 3), (x + 5), and (x + 7).

Their sum is x+3 + x+5 + x+7 = 3x + 15

But we're told that their sum is 42, so we can write

      3x + 15 = 42 <== the equation

Subtract 15 from each side: 3x   = 27

Divide each side by 3 : x   =   9 <== the solution

So the three ages are 12, 14, and 16.

The oldest child is 16 years old.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

696 large bags of flour were packed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let large bags of flour be 'y'

Let small bags of flour be 'x'. That is x=2040 (according to the question)

$(3 \times x) + (5 \times y) = 9600$
