<span>Naming of rays
Rays are commonly named in two ways:
By two points.
In the figure at the top of the page, the ray would be called AB because starts at point A and passes through B on it's way to infinity. Recall that points are usually labelled with single upper-case (capital) letters. There is a symbol for this which looks like this: AB This is read as "ray AB". The arrow over the two letters indicates it is a ray, and the arrow direction indicates that A is the point where the ray starts.
By a single letter. (I have not seen this done.)
The ray above would be called simply "q". By convention, this is usually a single lower case (small) letter. This is normally used when the ray does not pass through another labeled point.</span>
Answer: a = 23 ft.
Reasoning:
The question asks for the value of the leg a, given the tangent of the opposite angle and the length of the adjacent-leg, b.
The ratio that relates the three parameters is:
tan(A) = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg = a / b = a / 23 ft
Solve for a, wich is the unknown:
a = 23ft * tan(A) = 23ft * 1.0 = 23 ft
Answer: 23 ft.
Hey there!
Let's first evaluate this problem, and the keyword we need to use. The problem says that out of the total number of bracelets Brianna has, x, 1/3 of them are pink. The reason the word of is so important throughout math is that it signifies multiplication. For example, 1/2 of 10 is 5 because 1/2 times 10 is 5.
Now, to apply that to this situation, we need to create an equation, a mathematical statement that indicated the equilibrium or equality of two values. Since we have 1/3 of all her bracelets, x is four, we can set up our equation. Here's another good keyword- is. Is signifies an equation, because it means "equal to" mathematically. For example, 5 is equal to 20/4.
We have:
1/3(x) = 4
(One-third of x, the total amount of bracelets, is four.)
We don't want that fraction there. In order to get rid of it and keep the expression equal, we multiply both sides by 3. We have,
x = 12
Hope this helps!
When divided by 5, 3 subtracted from x divided by 2 equals to 6
