Answer:
The distance between Tyrone and the piano is 23.7 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
step 1
Find the measure of angle P
Remember that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees
∠T+∠D+∠P=180°
substitute the given values
65°+77°+∠P=180°
142°+∠P=180°
∠P=180°-142°=38°
step 2
applying the law of sines
substitute the given values
therefore
The distance between Tyrone and the piano is 23.7 yards
A = {a, l, o, w, n, c, e}
The answer to your question would be A.
In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)
Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form
That would be y = -2x+9
This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.
The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
