Answer:

65/72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∠T=90° then the triangle ΔRST is a right angled triangle. Considering ∠S, RT is the opposite side, TS is the adjacent side and RS is the hypotenuse side. Using the notation

SOH CAH TOA

Tan ∠S = 72/65

Hence the cotangent of ∠S which is the inverse of the tangent will be

= 65/72

Answer:

7 or -9, dependent on if 2y is or is not negative

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2y is NOT negative

2(4)-1=i

8-1=i

i=7

If 2y IS negative

-2(4)-1=i

-8-1=i

i=-9

adult tickets to the fall play cost $8 and student tickets cost $4. the drama class sold 20 more adult tickets than student tick

andriy [413]

let us repersent the number of student tickets, then 's + 20' is repersenting the number of adult tickets.

The equation for the total tickets can be experssed as the following:

4.00 * s + 8.00 * ( s + 20 ) = 880.00

solving for 's=60', there were 60 student tickets.

60 + 20 = 80

there were 80 adult tickets.

It was recently estimated that females outnumber males by about three or two. If there are 1770 people in a county, how many of

max2010maxim [7]

GIVEN

1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.

2) There are 1770 people in the city.

SOLUTION

Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:

$x+y=1770\text{ -----------(1)}$

If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{y}{3}=\frac{x}{2} \\ \therefore \\ x=\frac{2y}{3}\text{ ----------(2)} \end{gathered}$

We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}y+y=1770 \\ \frac{2y+3y}{3}=1770 \\ 5y=1770\times3 \\ 5y=5310 \end{gathered}$

Dividing both sides by 5, we have

$y=1062$

There are 1062 females in the county.
