Answer:

150 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1.20 euros = 1 pound

180 euros = x pounds

Set up the proportion

1.20 Euros/1 pound = 180 Euros / x pound Cross multiply

1.20*x = 1 * 180 Combine

1.20 x = 180 Divide by 1.2

x = 180 / 1.20

x = 150 pounds.

As a bonus, you might want to try and guess which is the stronger currency.

Two trains travel a 160 km track each day. The express travels 10 km h^-1 faster and take 30 minutes less time than the normal t

aniked [119]

Let s = the speed of the slower train in km/hrs+10 = the speed of the faster train in km/hrLet t = time in hrs for the slower train to go 160 kmt-5 = time in hrs for faster train to go 160 km---------------Slower train:(1)
160=s.t

Faster train:(2) 160=(s+10) .(t-.5)From (1)(1) t=160/s
use the relations given in following screenshot and then use quadratic equation.

4) The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two

Naily [24]

Answers:

Satellite is approximately <u>2446.43 km</u> from station A.
Satellite is approximately <u>2441.61 km</u> above the ground.

=========================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming tracking stations A and B are at the same elevation and are on flat ground. In reality, this is likely not the case; however, for the sake of simplicity, we'll assume this is the case.

The diagram is shown below. Points A and B describe the two stations, while point C is the satellite's location. Point D is on the ground directly below the satellite. We have these lengths

AB = 60 km
AD = x
CD = h

Focusing on triangle ACD, we can apply the tangent rule to isolate h.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = CD/AD

tan(86.4) = h/x

x*tan(86.4) = h

h = x*tan(86.4)

We'll use this later in the substitution below.

--------------------

Now move onto triangle BCD. For the reference angle B = 85, we can use the tangent rule to say

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = CD/DB

tan(B) = CD/(DA+AB)

tan(85) = h/(x+60)

tan(85)*(x+60) = h

tan(85)*(x+60) = x*tan(86.4) ............. apply substitution; isolate x

x*tan(85)+60*tan(85) = x*tan(86.4)

60*tan(85) = x*tan(86.4)-x*tan(85)

60*tan(85) = x*(tan(86.4)-tan(85))

x*(tan(86.4)-tan(85)) = 60*tan(85)

x = 60*tan(85)/(tan(86.4)-tan(85))

x = 153.612786190499

--------------------

We'll use this approximate x value to find h

h = x*tan(86.4)

h = 153.612786190499*tan(86.4)

h = 2441.60531869599

h = 2441.61 km is how high the satellite is above the ground.

Return to triangle ACD. We'll use the cosine rule to determine the length of the hypotenuse AC

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(A) = AD/AC

cos(86.4) = x/AC

cos(86.4) = 153.612786190499/AC

AC*cos(86.4) = 153.612786190499

AC = 153.612786190499/cos(86.4)

AC = 2446.43279498247

AC = 2446.43 km is the distance from the satellite to station A.

Can someone plz help plz show work

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the base we have the right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem for to calculate the hypotenuse:

$h^2=4^2+3^2\\\\h^2=16+9\\\\h^=25\to h=\sqrt{25}\\\\h=5\ ft$

The Lateral Area is the sum of the areas of three rectangles:

$4\ ft\ \times\ 2\ ft\to A_1=(4)(2)=8\ ft^2\\\\3\ ft\ \times\ 2\ ft\to A_2=(3)(2)=6\ ft^2\\\\5\ ft\ \times\ 2\ \ft\to A_3=(5)(2)=10\ ft^2$

The Lateral Area:

$LA=A_1+A_2+A_3\to LA=8+6+10=24\ ft^2$
