What do we know about these angles? Immediately, you might notice that (4y-8)° and (16x-4)° share a line. The same is true of (16x-4)° and (14x+4)°. Any straight line forms what's called a <em>straight angle</em>, which measures 180°, so we know that, since they add up to form a straight angle, (14x+4)° and (16x-4)° must add up to 180°. We can use that fact to set up an equation to solve for x:
(14x+4)+(16x-4)=180
After you solve for x, you should look to solve for y. How can we figure out what y is? If you're familiar with the vertical angle theorem, you'll know that all vertical angles (angles that are directly across from each other diagonally) are equal. So we know that 14x+4=4y-8. You can use the value of x you solved for before to solve this one fairly easily, and then you'll have both values.
Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is increasing is 68 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.
Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.
Let z represent the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
Therefore
z² = x² + y²
To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes
2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1
One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that
dx/dt = 32
dy/dt = 60
Distance = speed × time
Since t = 0.5 hour, then
x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles
y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles
z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900
z = √1156
z = 34 miles
Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes
2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60
68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600
68dz/dt = 4624
dz/dt = 4624/68
dz/dt = 68 mph
Answer:
5,670
Step-by-step explanation:
how do you solve 135x42? (step by step please)
Answer :
= 135 x 42
= 5,670
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Both distances are in the scientific notation:
Earth - Sun = 9.3 * 10^7 miles
Saturn - Sun = 8.87 * 10^8 miles
8.87 * 10^8 - 9.3 * 10^7 =
= 88.7 *10^7 - 9.3 * 10^7 =
= 79.4 * 10^7 = 7.94 * 10 ^8 = 794,000,000 miles
Answer: Saturn is 7.94 * 10^8 miles farther from Sun than Earth is.
Answer: Equilateral triangles are also right triangles sometimes. All angles of an equilateral are congruet sometimes.
