Three ships, A, B, and C, are anchored in the atlantic ocean. The distance from A to B is 36.318 miles, from B to C is 37.674 mi

les, and from C to A is 11.164 miles. Find the angle measurements of the triangle formed by the three ships.

Let's sketch the triangle.

The sides are a= 37.674 miles

b= 11.164 miles

c= 36.318 miles

We'll apply the cosine rule for angle calculations

(since the sine law cannot be employed without knowing any angle measurements).

The cosine law is given by

$c^{2} = a^{2} +b^{2} -2ab cos C$

Substituting the values results in

$(36.318)^{2} = (37.674)^{2} + (11.164)^{2} - 2(37.674)(11.164). Cos C$

$1318.997 = 1419.33 + 124.634 - 841.184. Cos C$

$1318.997 = 1543.964 - 841.184. Cos C$

$841.184. Cos C = 1543.964-1318.997$

$841.184. Cos C = 224.967$

$Cos C = \frac{224.967}{841.184}$

$cos C = 0.267$

C = 74.48°

We can find angle A using the sine law

$\frac{a}{SinA} = \frac{c}{Sin C}$

$\frac{37.674}{Sin A} = \frac{36.318}{Sin 74.48}$

$Sin A = \frac{37.674. sin 74.48}{36.318}$

$Sin A = \frac{37.674 X 0.963}{36.318}$

$Sin A = 0.998$

A= $sin^{-1} (0.998)$

A = 87.38°

The third angle B can be determined by calculating 180° minus the sum of angles A and C

$B = 180-(74.48 + 87.38)$

B = 180 - 161.86

B = 18.14°

Thus, we have calculated all three angles (as shown in the attached figure).

EVELYN HAD 9 DOLLS, BUT SHE LOST 1/3RD OF THEM AT DAYCARE. HOW MANY TOTAL DOLLS WOULD EVELYN HAVE HAD IF SHE HAD NOT LOST THEM?

Inessa [12570]

If Evelyn had not lost any dolls, she would have had a total of 9 dolls. Initially, Evelyn owned 9 dolls and lost 1/3 of them, which equals 3 dolls. As a result, after the loss, she had 6 dolls left. Consequently, had all the dolls remained with her, she would possess 9 dolls.

What is the monthly finance charge if the average daily balance is $15, the daily periodic rate is 0.06%, and the number of days

Leona [12618]

Given

The daily average balance is $15.

The daily periodic interest rate = 0.06%.

The cycle consists of 30 days.

Calculate the monthly finance charge.

To justify:

Let’s denote the monthly finance fee as x.

According to the details provided:

The average daily balance = $15.

The daily periodic rate = 0.06%,

First, we convert 0.06% to decimal:

$=\frac{0.06}{100}$

= 0.0006.

Daily finance charge = 0.0006 multiplied by 15.

= 0.009.

The number of days in the cycle totals 30.

Now, calculating the monthly finance charge:

The equation becomes:

x = 15 × 0.0006 × 30.

x = 0.009× 30.

x = $0.27.

Thus, the monthly finance charge amounts to $0.27.

Thus proved.

In quadrilateral ABDC, AB ∥ CD. Which additional piece of information is needed to determine that ABDC is a parallelogram? AB ≅

tester [12383]

For a quadrilateral to qualify as a parallelogram

i) both pairs of opposing sides must be equal

ii) Both pairs of opposing sides should be parallel

iii) Opposite angle pairs need to match

iv) Diagonals must bisect one another.

v) One pair of opposite sides should be both parallel and equal

In our case, it is given that AB || CD

Thus, we require either AD || BC

or we need that AB = CD

It has been specified that AB = CD as an option.

Therefore, the first option, A) stating AB ≅CD, is necessary to establish that ABCD is a parallelogram.

Which expression is equivalent to 15a^8b^4/5a^4b

AnnZ [12381]

Response: The provided expression $\frac{15a^8b^4}{5a^4b}$ has been simplified to $3a^4b^3$

Detailed explanation:

Given: expression $\frac{15a^8b^4}{5a^4b}$

Our task is to simplify the given expression $\frac{15a^8b^4}{5a^4b}$

Let’s examine the given expression $\frac{15a^8b^4}{5a^4b}$

We divide the numbers $\frac{15}{5}=3$

$=\frac{3a^8b^4}{a^4b}$

Using the exponent rule, $\frac{x^a}{x^b}\:=\:x^{a-b}$

We get,

$\frac{a^8}{a^4}=a^{8-4}=a^4$

$=\frac{3a^4b^4}{b}$

Cancel the common factor b,

Thus, we have

$=3a^4b^3$

Therefore, the simplified version of the given expression $\frac{15a^8b^4}{5a^4b}$ is $3a^4b^3$

Find 10-3. Write the subtraction fact two ways.

AnnZ [12381]

This is an exercise in fact families. A fact family consists of four related facts: two addition sentences and two subtraction sentences. The task asks for the subtraction fact written two ways.

$10-3$
First way. Start with 10 objects—imagine 10 triangles:

Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ
Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ

If you remove 3 triangles, how many remain? Seven remain:
Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ
Δ Δ

So subtracting 3 from 10 gives:
$10-3=7$

Second way. Again begin with the same 10 triangles:Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ
Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ

This time remove 7 triangles; the leftovers are 3:
Δ Δ Δ

Thus subtracting 7 from 10 yields:
$10-7=3$
