Answer:
About 17 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Ryan:
<em />
<em> (weekly)</em>
Sarah:
(weekly)
Required
Determine the number of weeks they have the same cards
Represent the number of weeks with w:
For Both individuals, number of card at any given week is:
So,
For Ryan, the expression is:
For Sarah, the expression is:
To determine the number of weeks, we have to equate both equations:
Collect Like Terms
Solve for w
16.6 implies about 17 weeks, because 16.6 approximates to 17
<em>Conclusively, Ryan and Sarah will have the same number of balls in about 17 weeks</em>

Answer:
- sin(X) = 6/7.5
- XY = 4.5
- cos(X) = 4.5/7.5
- tan(X) = 6/4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
It is convenient to use the Pythagorean theorem to find XY to start with. That theorem tells you ...
XZ² = YZ² + XY²
Solving for XY, you find ...
XY² = XZ² - YZ²
XY = √(XZ² - YZ²) = √(7.5² -6²) = √(56.25 -36) = √20.25
XY = 4.5
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is very helpful here. It reminds you that ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(X) = 6/7.5
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
cos(X) = 4.5/7.5
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(X) = 6/4.5

<em>Comment on the triangle and ratios</em>
The side lengths of this triangle are in the ratios ...
XY : YZ : XZ = 3 : 4 : 5
If you recognize that the given sides are in the ratio 4 : 5, this tells you that you have a "3-4-5" right triangle with a scale factor of 1.5. At least, you can find XY = 1.5·3 = 4.5 with no further trouble.
The trig ratios could be reduced to sin(X) = 4/5; cos(X) = 3/5; tan(X) = 4/3, but the wording "don't simplify" suggests you want the numbers shown on the diagram, not their reduced ratios.
perimeter =48
18+18+6+6=48
x-12=x/3
Multiply both sides by 3
3x-36=x
3x=x+36
2x=36
x=18
18-12=18/3
6=6
One side 18 another side 6
One application of volume is determining the density of an object. Assume the object is made of a pure element (eg: gold). If we know the volume (v) of the object, and we know the mass (m), then we can use the formula D = m/v to figure out the density D. Knowing the volume is also handy to determine if the object can fit into a larger space or not. Another application is figuring out how much water is needed to fill up the inner space of the 3D solid (assuming it's hollow on the inside).
The surface area is handy to figure out how much material is needed to cover the outer surface. This material can be paint, paper, metal sheets, or whatever you can think of really. A good example is wrapping a present and the assumption is that there is no overlap.
