The final price is the cost plus the tax.

Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as

T = C(1+r)

T = what Graham paid = $87.45

C = cost before tax

r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40

Plugging in what we know

87.45 = C (1+.4)

87.45 = C(1.4)

Divide both sides by 1.4

C = $62.46

Solve completely (all missing sides and all missing angles) using trig ratios or laws. Round to the nearest tenth.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3. Use Cosine law to find the length of the unknown side (PR)

q² = p² + r² - 2prCos Q

q is the opposite side of ∠Q;

p is the opposite side of ∠P; p = 33

r is the opposite sides of ∠R ; r = 67

q² = 33² + 67² - 2* 33*67 Cos 19°

= 1089 + 4489 - 4422 * 0.95

= 1089 + 4489 - 4200.9

= 1377.1

q = √1377.1

q = 37.1

PR = 37.1

To find the angle use law of sin

$\sf \dfrac{q}{Sin \ Q} =\dfrac{p}{Sin \ P}\\\\\\\dfrac{37.1}{Sin \ 19}=\dfrac{33}{Sin \ P} \\\\\\\dfrac{37.1}{0.33}=\dfrac{33}{Sin \ P}\\\\\\37.1* Sin \ P = 33 *0.33\\\\Sin \ P =\dfrac{33*0.33}{37.1}$

Sin P = 0.3

$P = Sin^{-1} 0.3\\$

P = 17.5°

∠R = 180 - (19 + 17.5)

= 143.5°

X - 2y= 14
x - 3y= - 11 | * ( -1)

x - 2y = 14
-x + 3y= 11
----------------
/ y= 25

x - 2*25= 14
x - 50 =14
x= 14+50
x=64

Given: p: 2x = 16 q: 3x – 4 = 20 Which is the converse of p → q?

valentina_108 [34]

It seems like the details of what p and q are in this context aren't all that important; it's the logical structure of the statement "p⇒q" we need to look at. We read that logical statement as "p implies q," where p is our hypothesis and q is our conclusion. When we take the converse of a logical statement, we reverse the hypothesis and the conclusion. In this case, p wouldn't imply q, but q would imply p in the converse of p⇒q. We'd write this statement as:

q⇒p
