Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle provided is a right triangle. The length of the opposite side is 244 yards, and the adjacent side measures 119 yards. To find the hypotenuse, we would utilize the Pythagorean theorem. The formula can be written as
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite side^2 + adjacent side^2
Thus, Hypotenuse^2 = 244^2 + 119^2
Hypotenuse^2 = 59536 + 14161
Leading to Hypotenuse = √73697 = 271.5 yards.
cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse
cos θ = 119/271.5 = 0.4383
Calculating θ gives us θ = Cos^-1(0.4383) = 64 degrees
The remaining angle is
90 - 64 = 26 degrees
I am hesitant to provide a definite answer since I'm not completely certain, but it's clear you can discard options C and D right away since the rate of change cannot be negative. Between options A and B, I would lean towards option B. I would have asked you to consider me the brainliest if I were correct, but I suspect this is for the IA4, where you're unable to check your grade... haha. Apologies, but I hope this assists you in some way!
2x − y = −4 → 10x − 5y = −20
3x + 5y = 59 → 3x + 5y = 59
13x = 39..... this is derived from adding the two equations on the right.
13x = 39 can be used in place of 3x + 5y = 59 in the initial system and will yield the same result.
