Mrrafil [7]

The ordered pair (7,2) is viable and Option B is the correct answer.

<h3>What is Relationship ?</h3>

Relationship between variables defines the way one variable is dependent upon the other variable.

It is given that x is the number of visitors and y is the number of winners,

It has to be seen and chosen that which ordered pair makes sense

The ordered pair is viable if the no. of visitor is positive and more than the number of winners.

Therefore ordered pair (7,2) is viable and Option B is the correct answer.

I'm not quite sure but the first one I'm pretty sure....

+3,+5,+7,+9 so then +11,+13,+15,+17,+19

24+11=35 => 6th term

35+13=48 => 7th term

48+15=63 => 8th term

63+17=80 => 9th term

80+19=99 => 10th term

14,34,54,74,94

Each increases by 20...

94+20= 114

114+20= 134

134+20= 154

154+20= 174

174+20= 194

37,46,55,64,73

Each increasing by 9,

73+9= 82

82+9= 91

91+9= 100

100+9= 109

109+9= 118

Fine length of BC on the following photo.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$BC=4\sqrt{5}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

step 1

In the right triangle ACD

Find the length side AC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$AC^2=AD^2+DC^2$

substitute the given values

$AC^2=16^2+8^2$

$AC^2=320$

$AC=\sqrt{320}\ units$

simplify

$AC=8\sqrt{5}\ units$

step 2

In the right triangle ACD

Find the cosine of angle CAD

$cos(\angle CAD)=\frac{AD}{AC}$

substitute the given values

$cos(\angle CAD)=\frac{16}{8\sqrt{5}}$

$cos(\angle CAD)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$ ----> equation A

step 3

In the right triangle ABC

Find the cosine of angle BAC

$cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{AC}{AB}$

substitute the given values

$cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{8\sqrt{5}}{16+x}$ ----> equation B

step 4

Find the value of x

In this problem

$\angle CAD=\angle BAC$ ----> is the same angle

so

equate equation A and equation B

$\frac{8\sqrt{5}}{16+x}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$

solve for x

Multiply in cross

$(8\sqrt{5})(\sqrt{5})=(16+x)(2)\\\\40=32+2x\\\\2x=40-32\\\\2x=8\\\\x=4\ units$

$DB=4\ units$

step 5

Find the length of BC

In the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BC^2=DC^2+DB^2$

substitute the given values

$BC^2=8^2+4^2$

$BC^2=80$

$BC=\sqrt{80}\ units$

simplify

$BC=4\sqrt{5}\ units$
