Answer:
<em>The angle between their paths when they started is 93°.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The Law of Cosines</u>
It relates the length of the sides of a triangle with one of its internal angles.
Let a,b, and c be the length of the sides of a given triangle, and x the included angle between sides a and b, then the following relation applies:
When the two ships travel in different directions from the same point in the plane, they form an angle we called x in the image below.
Tyler's ship sails a=35 miles and Noah's ship sails for b=42 miles. At some time they are c=56 miles apart.
Since we know the values of all three side lengths, we solve the equation for x:
Substituting values:
Calculating:
Computing the inverse cosine:
The angle between their paths when they started is 93°.
I just see an equation hmmm could it be the x.
Let the number be x
(1/6)x - 2 = -2/3
multiply each term by 6:-
x -12 = -4
x = 12 - 4
x = 8
the required number is 8.
So we know there are 12 eggs and they will be distributed like this:
12=x2+y1
and 4 cups of flour:
4=1/3x+1/2y
let's see if we can find a solution in which all the materials are used:
12=x2+y1
4=1/3x+1/2y//*6
12=2x+y
24=2x+3y//*6
substract from each other:
12=2y
y=2
12=2x+y
12=2x+2
10=2x
x=5
So if nothing is wasted, he can make 5 blueberry muffins (making 12*5=60) and 2 bran muffins (2*9=18), together 78 dollars,
would it be better if instead of the bran muffins he did blueberry muffins (which are more expensive?)
for the branberry muffins he will used the double amount needed for 1: so 1 cup of oil and 2 eggs. From this he can only make 1 tray of blueberry muffins (and some oil will be left over), which will cost 12 dollars, which is less than 18
so he better make 6 blueberry and 2 bran trays
Complimentary angles total 90 degrees.
so the answer is 90- 10= 80 degrees
