Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

85%=.85

So 45 × .85 = 38.25

38 shots he made.

Hope this helps

<h3>Answer: 38</h3>

Work Shown:

85% = 85/100 = 0.85

85% of 45 = 0.85*45 = 38.25

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get the result 38

As a check, 38/45 = 0.8444 approximately which converts to 84.44% and that's fairly close to 85%. If we tried 39, then 39/45 = 0.8667 = 86.67% which is a bit too high.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3[-x + (2 x + 1)] = x -1\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}3\left(-x+\left(2x+1\right)\right):\quad 3x+3\\3x+3=x-1\\$

Collect like terms

$3x -x =-1-3$

Add similar elements

1. What is greenhouse effect?

Mashcka [7]

The heat of the sun penetrates the atmosphere and warms the Earth's surface. The warmed rEarth Radiates and this heat back into the atmosphere.The gases the surround the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide , methane , nitrous oxide and water vapour absorb some of the radiated heat and send it back to the Earth . This<em> trapping of heat from the Sun by excess carbon dioxide and other gases present in the atmosphere</em> is known as the <u>greenhouse effect</u>. The gases involved in the phenomenon are called <u>greenhouse gases.</u>

Estimate the values to complete the table.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For angle C,

cos(∠C) = $\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ = 0.97

sin(∠C) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ = 0.26

tan(∠C) = $\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$ = 0.27

Therefore, from the triangle ABC,

cos(∠A) = cos(90° - ∠C)

= sin(∠C)

= 0.26

sin(∠A) = sin(90 - ∠A)

= cos(∠A)

= 0.97

tan(∠A) = $\frac{\text{sinA}}{\text{cosA}}=\frac{0.97}{0.26}$

= 3.73

Angle $\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

A 0.26 0.97 3.73

Solve the following triangle using either the law of sines or the law of cosines b=6 , c=12, A=48°

meriva

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(a, B, C) ≈ (9.15, 29.2°, 102.8°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given angle lies between the given sides, so the law of sines cannot be used. The third side is ...

a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A) ≈ 83.6452

a ≈ √83.6452 ≈ 9.146

Then angle B is found from the law of sines. We want to find the smaller angle, so we can tell if the triangle is acute or obtuse.

sin(B)/b = sin(A)/a

B = arcsin(b/a·sin(A)) ≈ arcsin(0.48753)

B ≈ 29.2°

C = 180° -48° -29.2° = 102.8°

The solution to the triangle is (a, B, C) = (9.1, 29.2°, 102.8°).
