Answer:
- large: 40 lbs
- small: 20 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
A system of equations can be written for the weights of the boxes based on the relationships given in the problem statement. One equation will be for the total weight of 1 large and 1 small box; the other will be for the total weight of 70 large and 60 small boxes.
Let L and S represent the weights of Large and Small boxes, respectively. The system of equations is ...
L + S = 60 . . . . . . combined weight is 60 lbs
70L +60S = 4000 . . . . weight of boxes in the truck
__
We can solve this by substituting for s in the second equation.
70L +60(60 -L) = 4000
10L = 400 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3600, simplify
L = 40
S = 60 -L = 20
A large box weighs 40 pounds; a small box weighs 20 pounds.
18 times 4 = 72
Both started with 72 Martha sold more
Answer:
6.31 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram below explains the solution better.
From the diagram,
C = starting point of the race.
A = end of the first part of the race.
B = end of the race.
Using Cosine rule, we can find the straight-line distance between the starting point and the end of the race.
Cosine rule states that:
![a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc[cos(A)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%5E2%20%3D%20b%5E2%20%2B%20c%5E2%20-%202bc%5Bcos%28A%29%5D)
where A = angle A = <A
Given that
b = 5.2 miles
c = 2.0 miles
<A = 115° (from the diagram)
Hence,
![a^2 = 5.2^2 + 2.0^2 - 2*5.2*2.0[cos(115)]\\\\a^2 = 27.04 + 4 - 20.8[cos(115)]\\\\a^2 = 31.04 + 8.79\\\\a^2 = 39.83\\\\a = \sqrt{39.83}\\ \\a = 6.31 mi](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%5E2%20%3D%205.2%5E2%20%2B%202.0%5E2%20-%202%2A5.2%2A2.0%5Bcos%28115%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Ca%5E2%20%3D%2027.04%20%2B%204%20-%2020.8%5Bcos%28115%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Ca%5E2%20%3D%2031.04%20%2B%208.79%5C%5C%5C%5Ca%5E2%20%3D%2039.83%5C%5C%5C%5Ca%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B39.83%7D%5C%5C%20%5C%5Ca%20%3D%206.31%20mi)
The straight-line distance between the starting point and the end of the race is 6.31 mi
A straight angle is 180 degrees. if you bisect it (cut it in half), you'll end up with two 90 degree angles, which are called right angles.
