Step-by-step explanation:

law of sine :

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

with the sides and correlating angles being always opposite to each other.

we are dealing with a right-angled triangle here.

the train track is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle) : 1600 ft.

the horizontal level "connection" from beginning to the end of the track is one leg, and the elevation difference at the end of the track is the second leg.

the 2 legs enclose a 90° angle, as the elevation goes straight up from the horizontal level.

so, we have

1600/sin(90) = elevation difference / sin(1.6)

sin(90) = 1

1600 = elevation difference / sin(1.6)

elevation difference = 1600 × sin(1.6) =

= 1600 × 0.027921639... =

= 44.67462196... ft

≈ 44.7 ft

Write a rule for the nth term of the sequence. Then find a20. Assume the first termis a₁. 86, 79, 72, 65…
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

an = a(n-1) - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the second term is smaller than the first term 7.

a20 = a19 - 7

a19 = a18 - 7

=> a20 = (a18 - 7) - 7

Then you can accumalate until a1

-> a20 = a1 - 19*7 = 86 - 19*7 = -47

It takes 0.0015 quart of paint to cover 1 square inch.
lorasvet [3.4K]

The total amount of paint needed is 15 quart and it cost $41.25.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

0.0015 quart of paint to cover 1 square inch.

Let the area of the rectangle be 10000 in², hence:

Amount of paint = 0.0015 quart per in² * 1000 in² = 15 quart

Cost of paint = $2.75 per quart *  15 quart = $41.25

The total amount of paint needed is 15 quart and it cost $41.25.

Which classification describes the system of linear equations?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

A system of two linear equations can have one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solution. Systems of equations can be classified by the number of solutions. If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent . If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent .
