Answer:

53.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A wire makes a 70 degrees angle with the ground and is attached to the top of a 50 ft. antenna. How long is the wire?

We solve the above question using the Trigonometric function of Sine

sin theta = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Theta = 70°

Hypotenuse = x = Length of the wire

Opposite = 50ft antenna

Hence,

sin 70 = 50/x

Cross Multiply

50 = sin 70 × x

x = 50/sin 70

x = 53.208888624 ft

Approximately x = 53.2 ft

The length of the wire is 53.2 ft

1. Jane saved up 20 coins, all nickels and
kompoz [17]

Answer:

10 nickels and 10 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of coins: 20

Vaiue of coins = $3.00

Required

Number of Nickels and Quarters;

<em>Let N =Nickels and Q =Quarters</em>

The total coins is represented as:

N + Q = 20

1 nickel is equivalent to $0.05 and 1 quarter is equivalent to $0.25; So

0.05N + 0.25Q = 3

Make N the subject of formula in the first equation

N = 20 - Q

Substitute this in the second equation

0.05(20 - Q) + 0.25Q = 3

1 - 0.05Q + 0.25Q = 3

Collect like terms

-0.05Q + 0.25Q = 3 - 1

0.2Q = 2

Multiply both sides by 5

5 * 0.2Q = 2 * 5

Q = 10

Recall that N = 20 - Q

N = 20 - 10

N = 10

Andrea calls two truck rental companies to compare costs. Action trucks charges $80 for the day plus $0.22 per kilometer and tru
Amanda [17]

Answer:it will take 200 kilometers for the costs to be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of kilometers that Andrea would have to drive for the total cost of renting from both companies to be the same.

Action trucks charges $80 for the day plus $0.22 per kilometer. It means that the total cost of x miles would be

80 + 0.22x - - - - - - - - - 1

Truck experts charges $100 for the day plus $0.12 per kilometer. It means that the total cost of x miles would be

100 + 0.12x - - - - - - - - - 2

Therefore, for the cost of renting from both companies to be the same,

80 + 0.22x = 100 + 0.12x

0.22x - 0.12x = 100 - 80

0.1x = 20

x = 20/0.1 = 200
