4.2 is also equal to 42/10 which is equal to 21/5. In order to find how many trips you will be dividing fractions (21/5) / (3/5). Although this may seems difficult, because the denominators are the same, it simplifies to 21/3 which is equal to 7 (A)

Two triangles can be formed with the given information. Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangles. A = 55°, a = 12, b = 14
Mkey [24]
The way you'd set it up would be sin55º/12=sinB/14 (you could also flip the equation so that 12/sin55º=14/sinB, you'll get the same answer either way). Multiply out so that its 14•sin55º=12•sinB, or 11.47=12•sinB. Divide both sides by 12 so that it looks like .96=sinB, then take arcsine of both sides (arcsin= x=sin^-1 theta+360n or x=180- (sin^-1 theta)+360n), which should give you about 72.88º and 107.12º.

Consider the following equation, bh+hr=25 when solving for r
Komok [63]
Solve for r.

You want to get r by itself on one side on the equal sign.

bh + hr = 25

Subtract bh from both sides.

hr = 25 - bh

Divide h on both sides.

r = 25 - bh / h

The two h's cancel each other out.

r = 25 - b

Identify the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -1/3 x + 2 and passes through (2, 1).
kari74 [83]
To get your answer, you will need to find the perpendicular slope for -1/3x which is just the opposite therefore it will be 3x. Your slope is 3x as perpendicular so use this slope to do point slope. Y-1=3(x-2). Distribute y-1=3x-6. Add 1 to both sides. (-1+1) (-6+1)=-5. So your equation in slope intercept form is y=3x-5. Going through the two points.

Hope this helps!
