Answer:
1. A = 59
2. A = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a right triangle we can use sin, cos and tan.
sin = opp/ hypotenuse
cos= adjacent/ hypotenuse
tan = opposite/ adjacent
For the first problem, we know the opposite and adjacent sides to angle A
tan A = opposite/ adjacent
tan A = 8.8 / 5.2
Take the inverse of each side
tan ^-1 tan A = tan ^-1 (8.8/5.2)
A = 59.42077313
To the nearest degree
A = 59 degrees
For the second problem, we know the adjacent side and the hypotenuse to angle A
cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos A = 15.3/21
Take the inverse of each side
cos ^-1 cos A = cos ^-1 (15.3/21)
A = 43.23323481
To the nearest degree
A = 43 degrees
1 pint is equal 16 oz, so 16/0.75 is approximately 21.33 days so it would last 21 days.
Answer:
Because 3(5x) is the same as 3 *5 * x
Step-by-step explanation:
When a number is next to another in parantheses, it signifies multiplication. In this case, we already have 5 and x grouped together by a multiplication sign, so the entire thing is 5 * x. The statement below is key
Distribution in multiplication is only possible if a variable is grouped to another real number by a plus or minus sign.
So in this case, we have 3 * 5 * x, which is 15x. However, if we had 3(5 + x), we would have 15 (3 * 5) + 3x (3 * x).
Hopefully that makes sense!
