The wording of this problem indicates that there was an illustration. Could you possibly share that illustration?
Working without an illustration:
If tan theta = 3, then tan theta = opp/adj = 3/1. This tells us that the opp side is 3 times as long as is the adj. side. Let x be the shorter side, i. e., let x represent the adjacent side; then y is the longer side and represents the opposite side.
Then y = 3x (the opp side is 3x the adj side in length).
Applying the Pyth. Thm. a^2 + b^2 = c^2,
x^2 + (3x)^2 = hyp^2 = (25 cm.)^2
So x^2 + 9x^2 = (625 cm^2)
10x^2 = 625 cm^2, or x^2 = (625 cm^2) / 10 = 62.5 cm^2
x = 7.91 cm. Therefore, y = 3(7.91) = 23.72 cm.
We were supposed to round off these answers to the nearest 10th cm.
Therefore, x = 7.9 cm and y = 23.7 cm
Would that be A, B, C or D?
The slope is (8-2)/(0-2)=-3
the y intercept is 8
the equation is y=-3x+8
the area to the left is shaded, and the line is solid, so y
-3x+8
Answer:
y=18 when x=15

Answer:
48 and 32 6 hours clearing tables and 2 hours tutoring
Step-by-step explanation:
we can rewrite this as a fraction. we will use 1/10s because 80 can be divided by 8 which is in the problem. we then have to find out what two numbers add up to 8 but one is 3 times the other. 6 and 2 fit into this problem so we plug it into the equation and we write it as this 6x+4x=80 where x is 8. we get 48 and 32.
