Answer: the shortest side is 279.24 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the triangle in shown in the attached picture. The given angles of 30 degrees and 50 degrees are for the shorter sides.
Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, it means that the angle of the longer side, x will be
x = 180 - (30 + 50)
x = 180 - 80 = 100 degrees
The sine rule states that
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
c = 550
a = the shortest side.
Therefore
a/sinA = c/ sinC
a/sin30/= 550/sin100
asin100 = 550sin30
0.9848a = 550×0.5 = 275
a = 275/0.9848
a = 279.24 feet
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 - 5 is -7
K = Kate's age nowJ = Joey's age nowK+5 = Kate's age in 5 yearsJ+5 = Joey's age in 5 years From the first sentenceK+5 = 2(J+5) From the second sentenceK=J+11 So our system of equations isK+5 = 2(J+5)K=J+11 The first equation is equivalent toK+5 = 2J+10or by rearranging termsK-2J=5 The second equation is equivalent toK-J=11 This gives us K-2J=5K-J=11 Using the elimination method, we need to multiply one of the equations by a factor such that we can eliminate one of the variables. This means we want one of the variables to have coefficients which are the same magnitude but opposite signs. We can do this by multiplying the 1st equation by -1. This give us -K+2J=-5 K - J = 11 Now add these two equations together, term by term. This gives usJ=6 So Joey is 6 years old now.
The fraction for .50 is (1/2)
