Answer: Becky will have to spend £ 9.6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of their ages will be:

Melissa : Becky : Daniel = 13 : 12 : 10

Total amount share = £42

Share of Becky = \dfrac{12}{12+13+10}\times42

=\dfrac{12}{35}\times42\\\\= 14.4

Hence, Becky's share = £14.4

Becky decided to save a third of her share.

Then, Amount she spend = 14.4-\dfrac13 \times 14.4

=14.4-4.8\\=9.6

hence, Becky will have to spend £ 9.6 .

Could someone help me with this trigonometry question where you have to calculate the length of bc, to the nearest degree.
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: The length of BC ≈ 12.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do is to find the length of BD which we can solve for with the tangent of 20° which is the opposite side over the adjacent side.

We get tan20° = BD/8.

Solve for BD and you get BD = 8tan20°.

Now we will need to solve for the length of CD which we can get from the tangent of 40°.

We get tan40° = 8/CD

Solve for CD and you get CD = 8/tan40°.

Now that we have the lengths of BD and DC, we can simply add them together to get the length of BC.

(8tan20°) + (8/tan40°) ≈ 12.4 cm
