Answer:

X = 12.84°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the measure of the angle labeled x

To do this, we use the appropriate trigonometric identity

From the diagram, we have it that the side 200 which the angle x faces is the opposite, the other side of 900 is the hypotenuse which is the longest side and the side that faces the right angle

The trigonometric identity that relates opposite to the hypotenuse is the sine

Thus;

sin x = 200/900

sin x = 2/9

sin x = 0.222

x = arc•sin (0.222)

x = 12.84 degrees

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: \frac{11}{75}

Step-by-step explanation:

R is the event of getting a red jelly bean. 22 out of the 150 jelly beans are red. That means it is a \frac{22}{150} chance of getting a red jelly bean.

Simplified that is \frac{11}{75}

The sum of eight times a number and fifteen is seven
asambeis [7]
8x+15=7

In the statement the phrase the sum of can tell you that it is going to be an addition problem. So 8x ( eight times a number) would be added to the 15, 8x+15. Since its an addition problem the part where it says ' ... is seven', you know that it will all equal 7. So the answer would be 8x+15=7.

Nuclear Power is a perfect example of exponential relations. Canada produces over half of its electricity using nuclear reactors
mario62 [17]

Solution :

Nuclear fission is exponential. With uranium atoms arranged properly it is possible to have the fission effect and cause more and more uranium nuclei to fission. This is known as chain reaction and a number of uranium atoms are fission together to increase exponentially.

Canada, for example produces electricity using the process of fission process in its nuclear reactors.

But one of the problems with nuclear reactors is its disposal of the nuclear waste. The nuclear waste includes the used reactor fuel,  uranium mill tailings and other radioactive wastes. They remain radioactive and are dangerous for the human health.

A). The long term nuclear waste are stored in deep excavations and covered with rocks and mud so that the harmful radioactive materials does not escape from them. They are also stored in some high density and thick cylinders and remained isolated in the dump yard from the people and nature.

B). Canada has a high source of renewable sources of energy. This is a clean source of energy and Canada can make best use of it. Most of the energy requirement of Canada can be taken care off by using wind energy. Canada is planning to set up wind energy mills in most of its part and generate electricity from it.

Canada has also installed several solar power projects which is clean and can help the people to use this solar energy to produce electricity.
