A group spends $277.50 to rent a total of 15 tubes. How many of each type of tube does the group rent?
1 answer:
The amount spent on each tube is $18.5
The total amount spent to rent 15 tubes by the group is $277.50.
Since they did not specify in the question the types of tubes they rented, we cannot determine each types of tubes that the group rented but we can determine the amount spent on each tube provided that they are all the same types.
∴
if 15 tubes = $277.50
1 tube = $x
By cross multiplying:
Therefore, we can conclude that the amount spent on each tube is $18.5

Answer:
(i) ∠ABH = 14.5°
(ii) The length of AH = 4.6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the problem, we will follow the steps below;
(i)Finding ∠ABH
first lets find <HBC
<BHC + <HBC + <BCH = 180° (Sum of interior angle in a polygon)
46° + <HBC + 90 = 180°
<HBC+ 136° = 180°
subtract 136 from both-side of the equation
<HBC+ 136° - 136° = 180° -136°
<HBC = 44°
lets find <ABC
To do that, we need to first find <BAC
Using the sine rule
=
A = ?
a=6.9
C=90
c=13.2
=
sin A = 6.9 sin 90 /13.2
sinA = 0.522727
A = sin⁻¹ ( 0.522727)
A ≈ 31.5 °
<BAC = 31.5°
<BAC + <ABC + <BCA = 180° (sum of interior angle of a triangle)
31.5° +<ABC + 90° = 180°
<ABC + 121.5° = 180°
subtract 121.5° from both-side of the equation
<ABC + 121.5° - 121.5° = 180° - 121.5°
<ABC = 58.5°
<ABH = <ABC - <HBC
=58.5° - 44°
=14.5°
∠ABH = 14.5°
(ii) Finding the length of AH
To find length AH, we need to first find ∠AHB
<AHB + <BHC = 180° ( angle on a straight line)
<AHB + 46° = 180°
subtract 46° from both-side of the equation
<AHB + 46°- 46° = 180° - 46°
<AHB = 134°
Using sine rule,
=
AH = 13.2 sin 14.5 / sin 134
AH≈4.6 m
length AH = 4.6 m
