Hey there :)
Here we need to use Trigonometry!
The given
angle is
61°The
opposite to the angle is
22 So
x is the
adjacent
The trigonometric ratio that uses opposite and adjacent is tan
( I have uploaded a picture to help you )
tan α =
tan 61 =
adj =
adj ≈ 12.19 ≈ 12
x = 12
All you have to do is multiply 84 by 25%
And that's your answer.
I hope this helped
Answer:
8. m=6
9. x=2; Alyssa is incorrect because she subtracted 8 from 16 when in reality she should have divided 16 by 8 to get 2. The real solution is 2 because 8 times 2 is equal to 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 8:
2m-6=m
-2m -2m (subtract 2m from both sides)
<u>-6</u>=<u>-m</u>
- - (divide both sides by the negative)
m=6
Question 9:
<u>8x</u>=<u>16 </u> (divide both sides of the equation by 8)
8 8
x=2
Answer:
Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:
time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)
time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x
total time = time uphill + time summit
3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x
3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]
3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280
3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280
3x² - 113*x + 280 = 0
x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph
x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph
Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.
