Answer:

480.53 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(35) = 1000/hypotenuse1    - multiply by h (hypotenuse)

(h1)cos(35) = 1000        - divide by cos(35)

h1 = 1000 / cos(35)

h1 = 1220.7746

Same thing with the angle of depression of 54 degrees.

h2 = 1000 / cos(54)

h2 = 1701.3016

h2 - h1 = 480.53

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>cos(-t) = -4/9</h3><h3>sec(-t) = -9/4</h3>

Explanation:

Since cosine is an even function, we can say cos(-t) = cos(t) for all values of t. So this explains why cos(-t) = cos(t) = -4/9. No change happens.

To find the secant value, we apply the reciprocal. This is because sec = 1/cos. So that's how -4/9 flips to -9/4.

There are 9 more pencils then pens in a container. There are 25 writing utensils in the container in all. How many pens are ther
VashaNatasha [74]
In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:

let x the number of pencils
    y the number of pens

From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,

x = y + 9

From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,

x + y = 25

We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,

y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17

Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.

If p varies directly with T and p =105 when T=400.Find p when T =500
kumpel [21]

Answer:

<h3>p = 131.25</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The variation p varies directly with T is written as

p = kT

where k is the constant of proportionality

To find p when T =500 we must first find the formula for the variation

That's

when p = 105 and T = 400

105 = 400k

Divide both sides by 400

<h3>k =  \frac{21}{80}</h3>

So the formula for the variation is

<h2>p =  \frac{21}{80} T</h2>

when

T = 500

Substitute it into the above formula

That's

p =  \frac{21}{80}  \times 500

Simplify

The final answer is

<h3>p = 131.25</h3>

Hope this helps you
