Answer:

x = 17 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangular ceiling are 15 m by 8 m

We need to find the length of the string of lights need to be to reach from one corner of the ceiling to the opposite corner. Let it is x.

We need to find the diagonal of the rectangular ceiling. It can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

x^2=15^2+8^2\\\\x^2=225+64\\\\x^2=289\\\\x=\sqrt{289}\\\\x=17\ m

So, the length of the string of lights is 17 m.

The question is about unit circle in screenshot
Orlov [11]

The complete sentence for the <em>unit</em> circle is:

<em>When t = 0, AP = 0, so sin t will begin at a value of 0. As t increases from 0 to π/2, sin t increases. Eventually, when t = π/2, OP will be 0, so sin t = AP will be 1.</em>

<h3>How to complete a sentence with concepts from trigonometry</h3>

In this problem we have sentence to be completed by direct observation to the variables seen in a unit circle, a form used to teach trigonometric functions in a <em>graphic</em> manner. Now we proceed to present the complete sentence below:

<em>When t = 0, AP = 0, so sin t will begin at a value of 0. As t increases from 0 to π/2, sin t increases. Eventually, when t = π/2, OP will be 0, so sin t = AP will be 1.</em>

The difference of two numbers is 15. Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger. Find the numbers
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

x= -13

y= -28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:

x-y=15

5x=2y-9

Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.

x=15+y into 5x=2y-9

becomes

5(15+y) = 2y-9

75+5y = 2y- 9

75+3y= -9

3y = -84

y= -28

To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.

x - (-28) = 15

x+28 =15

x = 15-28

x=-13
