To determine the length of?? (let's designate this distance as x), we first need to ascertain the value of Angle A. 

The cosine of Angle A can be derived from Adjacent / Hypotenuse, which is 40 / 50. With this information:
cos (A) = 40/50
cos (A) =.8

Using this key information, we can find the total length of segment A-D (where Point D is directly above C), by relating it to side AC (which measures 50 + 70 = 120 ft)
Cos (A) = adjacent / hypotenuse
Cos (A) = AD / (120)                                 Given that cos (A) =.8
.8 = AD / (120)                                          We multiply both sides by 120
96 = AD

We are almost finished! Remember, we’re looking for x (the value of?? in the diagram).

x + 40 = 96 
x = 56 ft

Wyatt is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $1.25 and each ride costs $2.75. Wyatt spent $20.25 altog
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

Wyatt participated in 3 games and enjoyed 6 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of games

And let y represent the number of rides

Each game costs $1.25

Each ride costs $2.75

The total expenses incurred by Wyatt amounted to $20.25

Thus, the equation becomes: x1.25 + y2.75 = 20.25..... Equation 1

The number of rides he enjoyed is double the games he competed in

Y = 2x... Equation 2

By substituting the value of y into equation 1

x1.25 + y2.75 = 20.25

x1.25 + 2(x)2.75 = 20.25

x1.25 + x5.5 = 20.25

x6.75= 20.25

x= 20.25/6.75

X= 3

Y= 2x

Y= 2(3)

Y= 6

Thus, Wyatt participated in 3 games and enjoyed 6 rides

22.Island A is 160 miles from island B. A ship captain travels 170 miles from island A and then finds that he is off course and
babunello [11817]

We can summarize that

By applying the law of cosines: 


c² = a² + b² - 2abcos(C) 

where: 

a,b, and c represent the triangle's sides and C denotes the angle opposing side c.

Let us assign:

a=170 miles

b=200 miles

c=160 miles

Thus, we establish: 

160² = 170² + 200² - 2(170)(200)cos(C).


We now aim to solve for C.


25,600 = 28,900 + 40,000 - 68,000cos(C).

25,600 - 28,900 - 40,000 = -68,000cos(C).

-43,300=-68,000cos(C).

Thus, cos(C)=0.6367.

C=arc cos(0.6367)--------> C=50.45°.


Consequently, the captain should adjust toward island B by

180 - 50.45 = 129.55 degrees.


The final answer is

129.55 degrees

A scientist needs 10 liters of a 20% acid solution for an experiment, but she has only a 5% solution and a 40% solution. To the
Svet_ta [12734]
<span>5.7 liters of a 5% solution combined with 4.3 liters of a 40% solution. To begin, define the problem with formulas. x Represents the liters of the 5% solution utilized. 10-x Represents the liters of the 40% solution used. This forms an equation: 5% of x plus 40% of (10-x) equals 20% of 10. 0.05x + 0.40(10-x) = 0.20 * 10 Now, distribute the 0.40 coefficient. 0.05x + 4.0 - 0.40x = 0.20 * 10 Next, combine the terms. 4.0 - 0.35x = 2.0 Add 0.35x to each side. 4.0 = 2.0 + 0.35x Subtract 2 from both sides. 2.0 = 0.35x Lastly, divide both sides by 0.35. 5.7 = x Thus, 5.7 liters of a 5% solution is required. To determine the volume of the 40% solution, subtract from 10. 10.0 - 5.7 = 4.3</span>

A manufacturer of a certain brand of appliance estimates that he can sell 5000 units a year at Php 900.00 each and that he can s
lawyer [12517]

To start, calculate the return for each price per unit

Return = quantity sold x price per unit

Return1 = 5000 units x Php 900

Return1 = Php 4,500,000

Next, figure out the return for the other price per unit

Return2 = quantity sold x price per unit

Return2 = (5000 + 1500 units) x ( Php 900 – 100)

Return2 = Php 5,200,000

Thus, a price of Php 800 per unit will result in a higher return.
