A wooden board is leaning against a wall. The base of the board is 10 feet from the base of the wall. The base of the board forms a 35° angle with the ground.
What is the length of the wooden board?
Round your answer to nearest tenth.
Answers
Answer:
The length of the wooden board is about 12.2 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the diagram attached below.
The base of the board forms a 35° degree angle with the ground.
And we want to find the length of the wooden board.
Since we are given an angle and its adjacent length and we want to find the hypotenuse, we can use the cosine ratio:
[tex]\displaystyle \cos(\theta^\circ)=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}[/tex]
The adjacent side is the distance from the wall to the board, which is 10 feet.
And the angle made is 35°.
The hypotenuse is the length of the wooden board. Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \cos(35)=\frac{10}{\ell}[/tex]
Solve for the length. Cross-multiply:
[tex]\displaystyle 10=\ell \cos(35)[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \ell=\frac{10}{\cos(35)}\approx12.2[/tex]
The length of the wooden board is about 12.2 feet.

Si un empresario paga diariamente 50 a cada trabajador le faltaria 110 pero si les pagara 45 le sobraria 60 cuantos trabajadores tiene dicho empresario
Answers
Answer:
34 trabajadores.
Step-by-step explanation:
Supongamos que el empresario tiene N trabajadores, y tiene la cantidad de dinero D para pagarles cada día.
Si el empresario decide pagarle 50 a cada trabajador le faltan 110.
Esto se puede reescribir como:
50*N = D + 110
(50 por número de empleados es igual que el dinero que tiene más lo que le falta para pagar)
También sabemos que si pagara 45 a cada empleado, le sobraría 60.
Esto se puede reescribir como:
45*N = D - 60
Entonces tenemos dos ecuaciones:
50*N = D + 110
45*N = D - 60
Para resolver esto, el primer paso es aislar una de las variables en una de las ecuaciones, en este caso aislaré D en la segunda ecuación.
45*N + 60 = D
Ahora podemos reemplazar esto en la primer ecuación y resolver para N
50*N = (45*N + 60) + 110
50*N = 45*N + 170
50*N - 45*N = 170
5*N = 170
N = 170/5 = 34
El empresario tiene 34 trabajadores.

2 supplementary angles are in the ratio 6:3
Find the angles
Answers
Answer:
The angels are 60 degrees and 120 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two supplementary angels equal 180 degrees.
So, lets look at the ratio: 6:3
We then add 6 and 3 together which gives us 9.
Then you put it in this equation:
9x = 180
x= 20
- You are adding the two numbers and dividing the sum by 180 because the answer will tell us how much 1 would equal.
- In this case, we multiply 20 by 6 = 120 degrees
- Then we multiply 20 by 3 = 60 degrees.
(We can check our answer by: 120 + 60 = 180 degrees) :)

"sports discount" has uniforms for 68$. They are offering a 20% discount on each uniform, and a 7 percent sales tax will be applied to the discount price. What would be the final cost for eight uniforms after the discount and sales tax
Answers
Answer:
58.208 times 8 equals 465.664 rounded down to 465.66
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$465.66
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we are buying 8 uniforms. Therefore, the total price on a normal day would be 8x68 = $544
However, on this day, there is a 20% discount. In other words, we are only paying 80% of the original price as percentages are always out of 100.
The price after the sports discount will be 544x0.8 = $435.2
On top of this, we have to pay a sales tax of 7 percent. The 7 percent is an additional cost to the discounted price of 435.2, hence we add 0.07 (7 percent in decimals) onto 1 (100% in decimals).
This gives us 435.2 x ( 1 + 0.07 ) = 465.664.
Because currency is to 2 decimal points (1 cent), the final answer will be 465.66, or 465 dollars and 66 cents.

Answers

Answer:
(x, y) = (4, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of y are opposites, so the y-terms can be eliminated by adding the equations.
(8x -5y) +(2x +5y) = (-18) +(58)
10x = 40 . . . . . . simplify
x = 4 . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
Substituting this into the second equation gives ...
2(4) +5y = 58
5y = 50 . . . . . . . . subtract 8
y = 10 . . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
The solution is (x, y) = (4, 10).

How many solutions does this equation have?
8z − 5 = 8z
Answers
Answer:
Zero
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the equation by subtracting 8z from both sides:
8z − 5 = 8z
-5 = 0
-5 [tex]\neq[/tex] 0
This is a false statement, because -5 is not equal to zero.
This means that there are no solutions to the equation.
So, the equation has zero solutions
Because both sides of the equation have the same variable ( they both have 8x) this equation does not have any solutions.

A student in a chemistry lab has access to two acid solution .The first solution is 20% acid and the second is 45% acid .(the percentage are by volume). How many milliliters of each solution the student mix together to obtain 100 ml of a 30% acid solution?
Answers
Answer:
x = 20% acid = 60 ml
y = 45% acid = 40 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = 20% acid
y = 45% acid
x + y = 100 (1)
.20x + .45y = .3 ×100
.20x + .45y = 30 (2)
From (1)
x + y = 100 (1)
x = 100 - y
Substitute x = 100 - y into (2)
.20x + .45y = 30
.20(100 - y) + .45y = 30
20 - .20y + .45y = 30
- .20y + .45y = 30 - 20
.25y = 10
y = 10/.25
y = 40 ml
Substitute y = 40 into (1)
x + y = 100
x + 40 = 100
x = 100 - 40
x = 60 ml
x = 20% acid = 60 ml
y = 45% acid = 40 ml

Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, for us to have a right triangle, Pythagoras’ theorem must be obeyed
From the theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (longest side) equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Let us take a look at the given set of numbers:
2 square is not same as 1 squared + 1 squared
9 squared is not equal to 3 squares + 5 squared
7 squared is not equal to 4 squared + 3 squared
But;
root 2 squared equals 1 squared plus 1 squared and that is our answer
