Hey. Let me help you on this one.

In order for us to solve this problem easier, let's break it apart. We can also graph the triangle so we get visual of this problem.

I drew a quick graph for you to easier understand this question. As you can see, Charlie is standing below the tree 45 feet from it, and we need to find the unknown angle measure.

Let's form a SOHCAHTOA function which you have probably already learned in your Geometry course.

First of all let's identify our sides. The side opposite of the right triangle is a Hypotenuse, and the side that's 45 feet is adjacent, since it's adjacent to the unknown angle.

We know that we need to use Cos (Cosine) with negative power to it in order to solve this question, since we are looking for the unknown angle measure.

Let's form the function which Cos, Hypotenuse, and Adjacent side.

Cos^{-1} =45/100

Now, let's solve the left part of this function


Cos^{-1} =0.45

Awesome. You will need to use your calculator for this part. Find the value of 0.45 when negative Cosine is used on it.

Cos^{-1} =0.45
63.25631605

Awesome. Let's round this number to the closest tenth

63.3 is the rounded value we have discussed below.

Answer: 63.3 degrees is the unknown measure of the angle

What is the solution to the system of equations? "-6x2/5y=8" 1/2x+3y=29
prohojiy [21]

The answer choice which represents a solution to the system of equations is; (–2, 10).

<h3>Which answer choice is a solution to the systems of equations?</h3>

The system of equations as given in the task content is;

-6x - (2/5)y = 8

(1/2)x +3y = 29

Hence, by making x subject in equation 1 and substitution; we have;

x = (-0.4y -8)/6

Hence; (0.4y -8)/12 + 3y = 29.

(0.4y -8) + 36y = 348

35.6y = 356

y = 10

and x = (-0.4(10) -8)/6 = -2.

X+3y-2z=10, -x-2y+z=-7, 3x+9y-5z=28
NISA [10]
Hmm
what you do is try to eliminate 1 variable in 2 equaions first
we can elminate x's in first and 2nd equation

add first and 2nd equation
x+3y-2z=10
<u>-x-2y+z=-7 +</u>
0x+y-z=3
y-z=3


multiply 2nd equation by 3 and add to last one
-3x-6y+3z=-21
<u>3x+9y-5z=28 +</u>
0x+3y-2z=7

3y-2z=7

we now have
y-z=3
3y-2z=7
multiply first equation by -2 and add to 2nd

-2y+2z=-6
<u>3y-2z=7 +</u>
y+0z=1
y=1

now we can sub back
y-z=3
1-z=3
minus 1
-z=2
times -1
z=-2

sub baack into any equation
x+3(1)-2(-2)=10
x+3+4=10
x+7=10
minus 7
x=3

x=3
y=1
z=-2

Show that a% of b = b% of a
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

a% of b

= b * a/100 = ab/100

b% of a

= a * b/100 = ab/100

So they are the same.
