Answer:

x = 5 , y = 5 $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine and cosine ratios in the right triangle and exact values.

sin30° = $\frac{1}{2}$ , cos30° = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ , then

sin30°= $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{x}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 5

and

cos30° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{y}{10}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

2y = 10 $\sqrt{3}$ ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 5 $\sqrt{3}$

Find the measure of \angle RST∠RST. The measure of \angle RST∠RST is ^{\circ} ∘ .

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

$RST =144$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Find RST

To do this, we use:

$RST + 36 = 180$ --- angle on a straight line

Make RST the subject

$RST =- 36 + 180$

$RST =144$

<em>Hence, the measure of RST is 144</em>

A company has found that the daily demand x for its boxes of chocolates is inversely proportional to the price p. When the price

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

667 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given that x is the demand and p the price.

-Let k be the constant of proportionality. We then express the inverse relationship as:

$x=\frac{k}{p}\\\\k=xp=800\times 5=4000$

#We substitute for the new x value and the calculated k to solve for p:

$x=\frac{k}{p}\\\\p=\frac{k}{x}\\\\=\frac{4000}{6}\\\\=666.6667\\\\\approx 667\ boxes$

Hence, the demand at a price of $6 is approximately 667 boxes

You need to buy a 20-foot length of 15-wide carpet that costs $29.50 per square yard. How much will this cost?

Marianna [84]

The cost of the carpet will be $983.33

<h3>Calculating cost</h3>

From the question, we are to calculate how much the carpet will cost

From the given information,

The carpet has a length of 20 feet

and a width of 15 feet

First, we will covert the dimension to yard

NOTE: 1 foot = 1/3 yards

Thus,

20 feet = 20/3 yards

and

15 feet = 15/5 yards = 5 yards

Now, we will calculate the area of the carpet

Using the formula,

Area = Length × Width

Area of the carpet = 20/3 × 5 square yard

Area of the carpet = 33.33 square yard

Now, we have that

The carpet costs $29.50 per square yard

∴ The cost of the carpet = 20/3 × 5 × $29.50

The cost of the carpet = $ 983.33

Hence, the cost of the carpet will be $983.33

Spencer has two tapes of different color for decoration. His red tape measures 5/6 of a yard, and his green tape measures 1/3 of

Lady_Fox [76]

Given from the question
first fraction = 5/6
second fraction = 1/3

We're asked what's the difference between the fraction

First, we need to equalize the denominator to the same number. The first denominator is 6, the second denominator is 3. I'd like to make them both 6. So the second denominator needs to be multiplied by 2, so does the numerator
second fraction = 1/3
second fraction = (1 × 2)/(3 × 2)
second fraction = 2/6

Second, we have new fractions which have the same denominator. Calculate the difference
d = first fraction - second fraction
d = 5/6 - 2/6
d = 3/6

The red tape is 3/6 yard more than the green tape.
