Based on the image below, if you know that , find the following:

a) sin A
b) cos A
c) tan A
d) tan B

Answers

Answer:

A. Sine A = 4/5

B. Cos A = 3/5

C. Tan A = 4/3

D. Tan B = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the value of b in the attached photo.

This can be obtained as follow:

Cos B = 4/5

Cos B = Adjacent /Hypothenus

Adjacent = 4

Hypothenus = 5

Using pythagoras theory, the value of b can be obtained as follow:

b² = 5² – 4²

b² = 25 – 16

b² = 9

Take the square root of both side.

b = √9

b = 3

A. Determination of Sine A

Sine A =?

Opposite = 4

Hypothenus = 5

Sine A = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine A = 4/5

B. Determination of Cos A

Cos A =?

Adjacent = 3

Hypothenus = 5

Cos A = Adjacent /Hypothenus

Cos A = 3/5

C. Determination of Tan A.

Tan A =?

Opposite = 4

Adjacent = 3

Tan A = Opposite /Adjacent

Tan A = 4/3

D. Determination of Tan B

Tan B =?

Opposite = 3

Adjacent = 4

Tan B = Opposite /Adjacent

Tan B = 3/4

FIND THE AREA OF THE SHADED REGION.

Answers

This problem can be a bit confusing, so let's break it down:

First, let's take the area of the square (A = b · h):

A = 15 · 15

A = 225 cm²

Now comes the confusing part:

We can tell that the non-shaded area is 1/4 of a circle, so, if we take 1/4 of the area of a circle, we can subtract its area from the area of the square:

A = πr²

A = 15²π

A = 225π

1/4 A = 225π / 4

New Area = 56.25π

Or... about 176.7

Since we have both of the areas, all we have to do is subtract:

225 - 176.7 =

48.3.

Your final answer is 48.3 cm²

c. (x1,y1) = (x + x2, y + y2)

d. (x1,y1) = (x - x2, y - y2)

Answers

Answer:

(x1,y1) = (2x - x2, 2y - y2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Midpoint = (x , y)

End point = (x2, y2)

Find:

(x1, y1)

Computation:

Mid-point formula

x = (x1 + x2) / 2 , y = (y1 + y2) / 2

So,

2x = x1 + x2 , 2y = y1 + y2

x1 = 2x - x2 , y1 = 2y - y2

So,

(x1,y1) = (2x - x2, 2y - y2)

Answer:

when two inscribed angles in one circle both equal 75°, the two angles must intercept the same arc that measures 75°.

Step-by-step Explanation:

The relationship between an intercepted arc and an inscribed angle is given as:

the measure of the intercepted arc = twice the inscribed angle that intercepts it.

Also, by virtue of this, when two inscribed angles intercepts the same arc, both inscribed angles are said to be congruent. And the measure of both angles equal the measure of the arc they both intercept.

Therefore, if the measure of an arc, that is intercepted by 2 inscribed angles, is given as 75°, both inscribed angles equal 75° as well. Thus, each of the inscribed angles is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

Therefore, the statement that is true about inscribed angles is: "when two inscribed angles in one circle both equal 75°, the two angles must intercept the same arc that measures 75°."

The number of pounds of one-dollar-a-pound
coffee needed to mix with 80 pounds of 70¢ a
pound coffee to make a mixture worth 84¢ a
pound is
(A) 70
(B) 80
(C) 95
(D) 65

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say we need x pounds of one-dollar-a-pound coffee . The coffee must average out to 84 cents a pound, and the formula for average is

sum of cost of coffee / number of pounds of coffee, so we have

0.84 = total cost of coffee / (x+80) . The total cost of coffee can be found to be the sum of the cost of $1 coffee and 70 cent coffee, so we have

0.84 = (cost of $1 coffee + cost of 70 cent coffee) / (x+80)

The cost of $1 coffee can be found by adding $1 for each pound of one dollar coffee, or $1 * x. Similarly, the cost of 70 cent coffee is equal to 0.70 * 80, so we have

0.84 = (1*x+0.7*80)/(x+80)

0.84 = (x+56)/(x+80)

multiply both sides by (x+80) to remove a denominator

0.84(x+80) = x+56

0.84x + 67.2 = x+56

subtract both sides by 56 and 0.84x to isolate the x and its coefficients

11.2 = 0.16 x

divide both sides by 0.16 to isolate x

11.2/0.16 = x = 70

The number of pounds of a constituent in a mixture given the cost of the

mixture and the cost and mass of the other constituent can be calculated

by using an equation to model the system

The correct option for the number of pounds of one-dollar- pound coffee needed is option A

(A) 70 pounds

The procedure for arriving at the correct option is as follows:

The given parameters are;

The cost of the the coffee for which the mass in the mixture is to be determined = One-Dollar a pound = 100 ¢ a pound

The mass of the coffee 70¢ a pound coffee to be mixed = 80 pounds

The cost per pound of the mixture = 84 ¢ a pound

The required parameter;

The number of pounds of the one-dollar-a-pound (100 ¢ a pound) coffee in the mixture

Method:

Let x (pound) represent the number of pounds of the one-dollar-a-pound coffee in the mixture, we have;

Mass of mixture = Mass of the one-dollar-a-pound in the mixture, x + Mass of 70 ¢ a pound in the mixture, 80

∴ Mass of mixture in pounds = x + 80

Cost = Cost per pound × Number of pound

Find solution by applying the equation;

Cost of the constituents = Cost of the mixture

Where;

Cost of the constituents = $1 × x + 70 ¢ × 80 = 100 ¢ × x  + 70 ¢ × 80

Cost of the mixture = 84 ¢ × (x + 80)

Therefore;

100 ¢ × x  + 70 ¢ × 80 = 84 ¢ × (x + 80)

The above can be expressed as 100·x + 70×80 = 84 × (x + 80)

Expanding, evaluating and collecting like terms gives;

100·x + 5,600 = 84·x + 6,720

100·x - 84·x = 6,720 - 5,600 = 1,120

16·x = 1,120

x = 1,120/16 = 70

The number of pounds of one-dollar- pound coffee needed, x = 70 pounds

Ben's Bicycle Helmets makes bicycle helmets at a cost of 3000+ 12x dollars per month to produce x helmets. They sell the helmets for $21 each. 1. Determine the cost to produce 500 helmets. 5. Identify the break-even point. 6. Will Ben's Bicycle Helmets earn a profit by selling 500 helmets a month? Justify your response​

Answers

Answer:

#1

The cost to produce 500 helmets:

3000 + 12*500 = 9000

#5

The break-even point is the price when profit is zero:

$9000/500 = $18

#6

There will be a profit as the selling price is greater than the break even point:

$21 > $18

y=3000+12x

Find cost of x=500 helmets

y=3000+12(500)y=3000+6000y=$9000

Break even point

9000/500=18

So

There is profit as its less than 18

Please solve, -7x+8=-4(x+1)​

Add 4x to both sides

[tex]-7x+8+4x=-4x-4+4x\\-3x+8=-4[/tex]

Subtract 8 from both sides

[tex]-3x+8-8=-4-8\\-3x=-12[/tex]

Divide both sides by -3

[tex]-3x/-3=-12/-3\\x=4[/tex]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first simplify the equation.  

-7x+8= -4x-4                    

You get -4x-4 by distributing the -4 into the numbers in the parenthesis because -4 is right outside the parenthesis.

-4 times x= -4x

-4 times 1= -4

-7x+8= -4x-4

Next, move the -4x to where the -7x is because we want to combine like terms.  When a number moves to the opposite side, it changes from positive to negative or negative to positive.  Like here: -4x moves to a different side, so it becomes +4x.  

-7x+4x+8= -4  

Do the same for 8.  Since -4 is on the other side, move 8 to that side.  It turns from +8 to -8.

-7x+4x= -4-8

Combine like terms and solve.  

-7x+4x= -3x

-4-8= -12

So we have this now: -3x= -12

Since 12 divided by 3 is 4, and negative with negative is positive, it becomes positive 4. :)

Kent has 20 pieces of 50 sen and 20 sen coins.The total value of the coins is RM6.10.
How many 50 sen coins does he have?​

Answers

Answer:

Number of 50sen coins  =  13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 50sen coins be = x

Let the number of 20sen coins be  = y

Total coins  = 20

x + y = 20 ----------------------(i)

Value of 50sen coins = 0.50*x = 0.50x

Value of 20sen coins = 0.20 *y = 0.20y

Total value = RM 6.10

0.5x + 0.2y = 6.10 -------------------(ii)

Multiply (i) by (-0.5) and then add the equations. So, x will be eliminated and we can find the value of y

(i) * (-0.5)      -0.5x - 0.5y = -10

(ii)                  0.5x  + 0.2y = 6.10 { add and now x will be eliminated}

                              - 0.3y = -3.90

Divide both sides by (-0.3)

y = -3.90/-0.3

y = 13

Plug in the value of y in equation (i)

x + 13 = 20

Subtract 13 from both sides

x = 20 -13

x = 7

Number of 50sen coins  =  13

Answer:

the number of 50sen coins:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the number of 50sen coins as x

50(x)

∴ the number of 20sen coins is 20-x (as total no. of coins are 20)

20(20-x)

total amount = 6.10RM = 610sen

equating:

50x + 20(20-x) = 610

50x + 400-20x = 610

50x - 20x = 610-400

30x = 210

x = 210/30 = 7

Therefore, the number of 50sen coins is 7

20sen coins is 20-7= 13.

verification=

50*7 + 20*13 = 610

310 + 260 = 610

610sen = 610sen

6.10RM = 6.10RM

Use the least common denominator of 10 and 15 to solve 2/10+7/15 .

Answers

Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: As you can see, the denominators are different so we need to find a common denominator to add these 2 fractions.

We find the common denominator by finding

the common multiple for these 2 denominators.

Multiples of 10

1 x 10 = 10

2 x 10 = 20

3 x 10 = 30

Multiples of 15

1 x 15 = 15

2 x 15 = 30

As you can see, we have a common multiple of 30.

To get 30 in the denominator of 2/10, multiply top and bottom by 3.

To get 30 in the denominator of 7/15, multiply top and bottom by 2.

So we have 6/30 + 14/30 which is 20/30.

20/30 can be reduced to 2/3.
