When instructed to find the length of HJ in right
1 answer:
See attachement for the diagram of the triangle
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length of HJ, we can use different equations as follows:
✔️Recall: SOHCAHTOA
Let's take <G as the reference angle = 28°
Opposite side to reference angle = HJ
Hypotenuse = 20
Apply SOH.
Thus:
Sin 28° = opp/hyp
Sin 28° = HJ/20 (Alex's equation is correct).
Solving further, we would have:
HJ = Sin 28 * 20 ≈ 9.4
✔️Another way is by using <H as the reference angle.
m<H = 180° - (90° + 28°) (sum of triangle)
m<H = 62°
Adjacent side to reference angle (<H) = HJ
Hypotenuse = 20
Apply CAH:
Cos 62° = Adj/Hyp
Cos 62° = HJ/20 (Marlene's equation is correct)
Solving further, we would have,
HJ = Cos 62° * 20 ≈ 9.4
As you can see, the equation of both students are correct. Both would arrive at the same answer using any of the two equations.

Answer:
$541.67 per month
Step-by-step explanation:
Tuition and other expenses = $8,250 per semester.
There are two semesters in a year
She has 4 years to spend
Total semester=4years*2semesters
=8 semesters
4 years in college which is a total of 8 semesters.
Total Tuition and other expenses = $8,250 * 8
= $66,000
She needs a total of $66,00 to complete her college
Assistance from parents=$15,000
Financial aid(per semester)=$4750
Total financial aid=$38,000
Total assistance=
Assistance from parents+ financial aid
=$15000+$38,000
=$53,000
Total savings=Total amount needed - Total assistance
=$66,000 - $53,000
=$13,000
She needs to save $13,000 in two years
There are 12 months in one year
2 years=2*12=24 months
Monthly savings=Total savings/24 months
=$13,000/24
=$541.666666
To the nearest cent
=$541.67
